Instead, the beam was split into two parts, depending on whether the atomic spin was oriented up or down.

Instead, the final pattern is created directly from a digital representation on a computer, by controlling an electron beam as it scans across a resist-coated substrate.

Instead, what would be required to avoid paradoxes is that unlike any known particle, tachyons do not interact in any way and can never be detected or observed, because otherwise a tachyon beam could be modulated and used to create an anti-telephone or a " logically pernicious self-inhibitor ".

Instead of a compass needle, it used tiny magnets attached to a small lightweight mirror, suspended by a thread ; the deflection of a beam of light greatly magnified the deflection due to small currents.

Instead, the irradiance falls off gradually away from the center of the beam.

Instead, the Q-switch is used to " dump " the beam out of the cavity after a time delay.

Instead, mirrors guide the beam a fixed number of times ( two or more ) through the Ti: sapphire crystal with slightly different directions.

Instead of the compensators some ellipsometers use a phase-modulator in the path of the incident light beam.

Instead, the signal is distributed using beam splitters.

Instead, most commonly, the radiation is focused to a narrow beam.

Instead of utilizing a single row of detectors, as fan beam methods do, a cone beam systems uses a standard charge-coupled device camera, focused on a scintillator material.

Instead, because the combination of contrasts due to multiple diffracting elements and planes and the transmitted beam is complex, computer simulations are used to determine what sort of contrast different structures may produce in a phase-contrast image.

Instead, the Sabines crushed her to death with their shields, and her body was buried in the rock that now bears her name.

Instead of the multiple lives that were a common video-game convention, the Star Raiders ship has only one life, but is completely destroyed only if hit while its energy shields are lowered or destroyed ; otherwise it will sustain varying types of damage, which causes shields, engines, weapons or information displays to be destroyed or damaged.

Instead of shields, the numbers will be on a rectangular background outlined in white.

Instead of fighting individual battles in large skirmishes, hoplites fought as cohesive units in this tight formation with their shields pushing forward against the man in front ( to use weight of numbers ). The left half of the shield was designed to cover the unprotected right side of the hoplite next to them.

Instead, the Sabines crushed her to death with their shields, and she was thrown from the rock, which since has borne her name, the Tarpeian Rock.

Instead of emotional recrimination, loaded phrases and sloganeering, we need a dispassionate study of the facts, a better understanding of the opposite viewpoint and a more serious effort to extend the areas of agreement until a solution is reached.

Instead of Catholics' being obliged or even encouraged to beget the greatest possible number of offspring, as many Non-Catholics imagine, the ideal of responsible parenthood is stressed.

Instead -- and not just to prove my objectivity -- I hasten to report that it's a highly amusing film which probably does a fairly accurate job of reporting on the Easter vacation shenanigans of collegians down in Fort Lauderdale, and that it seems to come to grips quite honestly with the moral problem that most commonly vexes youngsters in this age group -- that is to say, sex.

Instead of her old confidence in the simplest, purest, most moving musical expression, Miss Schwarzkopf is letting herself be tempted by the classic sin of artistic pride -- that subtle vanity that sometimes misleads a great artist into thinking that he or she can somehow better the music by bringing to it something extra, some personal dramatic touch imposed from the outside.

Instead, the element is prepared, in milligram amounts, by the neutron irradiation of < sup > 226 </ sup > in a nuclear reactor.

Instead, providence is a power that emanates from the heavens to the sublunar region, and is responsible for the generation and destruction of earthly things, without any direct involvement in the lives of individuals.

Instead, it is negotiated by or configured at the endpoints on a per-virtual-connection basis.

Instead of the gradual transition through the capillaries from arteries to veins that is typical of normal functioning vasculature, AVMs cause direct associations of the arteries and veins.

Since the 2002 edition, the Apostles ' Creed is included in the Roman Missal with the indication, " Instead of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, especially during Lent and Easter time, the baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles ’ Creed, may be used.

Instead, it is put in parallel with chapter 4 ( C ) where divine judgements are pronounced against the Babylonian kings.

Instead, the Hebrew name Ahasuerus accords with an inscription of the time that notes that Artaxerxes II was named also Arshu, understood as a shortening of Achshiyarshu the Babylonian rendering of the Persian Khshayarsha ( Xerxes ), through which the Hebrew Achashverosh ( Ahasuerus ) is derived.

Instead, Pasternak was told, " Comrade Stalin is busy.

Instead it is part of the Intelligence and Security Directorate ( DIS ) which reports directly to the Minister of the Presidency.
