Moreover, Lunar Laser Ranging experiments have shown that even gravitational binding energy itself also gravitates, with a strength consistent with the equivalence principle to high precision

The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies have played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League since the Saint-Hyacinthe Laser relocated to the town in 1996.

Laser weapons intended to blind combatants have also been developed, but are currently banned by the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons, although low-power versions designed to dazzle rather than blind have been developed experimentally.

Weebl can be immature and arrogant in most parts, as in the cartoon " Team Laser Explosion 3 " he boasted what a hero he was by accusing postmen of being evil, and also being apparently stubborn, he insisted on changing the team logo because it didn't have pictures of him looking hot and sexy.

They have a better logo than Team Laser Explosion.

Both the IEEE RF safety standard and the ANSI Laser safety standard have limits into the terahertz region, but both safety limits are based on extrapolation.

Updated versions of this model have also been sold in Thailand as the Laser Tierra, while in Malaysia, the Laser was renamed the Lynx.

NASA has put several optical corner reflectors made of quartz, known as the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment, on the Moon for use in laser time-of-flight measurement to measure the Moon ’ s orbit more precisely than was possible before.

The east end of Smedley Street ( known as Smedley Street East ) is home to Laser Rail, a designer and manufacturer of rail measurement equipment now incorporated into Balfour Beatty's rail division.

Laser Doppler velocimetry is often chosen over other forms of flow measurement because the equipment can be outside of the flow being measured and therefore has no effect on the flow.

The technology, adapted to include a scanning capability ( to provide measurement of the vibration over an array of points, as in the Polytec MSA-500 and Aries Laser Vibrometer, VELA ), has been used to measure vibration generation and propagation for ultrasonic motors and acoustic and ultrasonic microfluidics.

Laser Doppler anemometers use a beam of light from a laser that is divided into two beams, with one propagated out of the anemometer.

The Laser Mégajoule will be one of the most powerful lasers in the world, allowing fundamental research and the development of the laser and plasma technologies.

* Laser treatment – Using a special strong beam of light of one color ( laser ) to heal a damaged area.

It was home to one of the first Virgin Megastores and housed the largest Laser Quest arena in Europe.

Laser cooling refers to the number of techniques in which atomic and molecular samples are cooled through the interaction with one or more laser light fields.

The players started at the same time and place, and used their points from the first five rounds to buy advantages, such as directional arrows in the Rings, completed words at the computer ( on one occasion, an easier path through the Laser Matrix ), batons already removed from the Response Revolve, or ladder pieces already built.

Laser cooling refers to techniques in which atomic and molecular samples are cooled through the interaction with one or more laser light fields.

* Laser resonators are often described as Fabry – Pérot resonators, although for many types of laser the reflectivity of one mirror is close to 100 %, making it more similar to a Gires – Tournois interferometer.

Laser disc was a composite video format: the luminance ( black and white ) and chrominance ( color ) information were transmitted in one signal, separated by the receiver.

Another significant issue unique to Laser disc is one involving the inconsistency of playback quality between different makers and models of player.

The report concluded that " considering the extrapolations required in target physics and driver performance, as well as the likely $ 1 billion cost, the committee believes that an LMF a Laser Microfusion Facility with yields to one gigajoule is too large a step to take directly from the present program ".

The Laser has now been replaced in most markets around the world by the European-sourced Focus, designated as one of Ford's ' world cars '.

Most racing dinghies can be classified as being either single handed ( one person only ) such as the Laser, RS Vareo or double handed, such as the 470, 505, Heron, Tasar, Flying Junior, International Fireball or the International Fourteen.

Laser action is also a non-equilibrium process, but it depends on departure from local thermodynamic equilibrium and is thus beyond the scope of classical irreversible thermodynamics ; here a strong temperature difference is maintained between two molecular degrees of freedom ( with molecular laser, vibrational and rotational molecular motion ), the requirement for two component ' temperatures ' in the one small region of space, precluding local thermodynamic equilibrium, which demands that only one temperature be needed.

Today the museum is composed of eight buildings, including two IMAX theaters ( one of only a few places in the world with more than one IMAX theater ), one of the world's largest Laser Dome theaters, a tropical butterfly house, a planetarium, and hundreds of hands-on science exhibits.
