Wheatstone also was experimenting with telegraphy and ( most importantly ) understood that a single large battery would not carry a telegraphic signal over long distances, and that numerous small batteries were far more successful and efficient in this task ( Wheatstone was building on the primary research of Joseph Henry, an American physicist ).

One of the system's biggest issues was battery life ; while better than earlier color backlit systems, its 4 hour battery life ( 5 hours on later models ) using 6 alkaline batteries was still not as good as the Game Boy's 10 – 14 hours of four-AA battery lifespan ( due to that system's monochrome screen and lack of a backlight ).

Battery life was a much bigger issue before handheld systems had built-in rechargeable batteries ; gamers needed either a constant supply of six AA batteries, or a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack that was sold separately and clipped on a user's belt or onto the back of the Game Gear using the clips and screw holes.

In an August 2011 video documentary on the relative battery life of the 3DS and Game Gear, GigaBoots. com documents that their Game Gear, Model 2110g ( 2nd Revision ), lasted 7 hours and 26 minutes on 6 regular Duracell AA batteries ; this unexpectedly long battery life led them to speculate that battery technology must have improved since the Game Gear was launched.

Just before such a device's batteries lose their power the device typically automatically backs-up its volatile content portion ( into nonvolatile ) and shuts off to protect its data.

Black claimed it was a member of the Church of the SubGenius, John Hagen-Brenner, who sent him an " improvised explosive device consisting of an audio cassette holder wired with four cadmium-type batteries, four flashbulbs, and five firecrackers ", as described in the charging document filed in Federal District Court.

* Hand-powered electrical equipment, such as a clockwork radio, where an energy-storing spring accounting for much of the size and weight of the device spins a much smaller electric generator ; such equipment is very popular where batteries and mains power ( house current ) are scarce.

This small handheld device is powered by 3 AAA batteries, has a brighter active matrix screen, and contained 20 Game Gear and Master System games.

The patent describes a device for igniting photographers ’ flash powder by using dry cell batteries to heat a wire fuse.

( Periodic rapid recharging of batteries, refilling of chemicals, and / or cleaning / replacing of filters, would exclude a device from being called an artificial organ.

The FlipStart has a folding 5. 6-inch screen with 1024 × 600 resolution, a 30GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi, bluetooth and batteries capable of running three to six hours on a single charge ( the device ships with a standard high capacity battery and offers a lower capacity slimline option, unusually ).

This " electric device " designed by Misell was powered by " D " batteries laid front to back in a paper tube with the light bulb and a rough brass reflector at the end.

Mobile queueing is more environmentally friendly than application-specific pagers, which require special-purpose batteries and hardware, and healthier from a public health perspective, as there is no shared device changing hands.

Even without a newtype in the central key room, the device was still able to run off of the sheer power generated by its human " psychicker " batteries.

He bought two 12 volt batteries similar to the one used in the explosive device tested in the woods, and they were to fit into a special metal bracket he had brought with him.

Constable Clark-Marlowe later believed there was " ample time for Inderjit Sing Reyat to obtain the batteries at the Auto Marine Electric limited store in Burnaby, incorporate the batteries in the assembly of an explosive device and then have the device transported in a suitcase to the Vancouver airport ".

Current state-of-the-art electronics and batteries have enabled an implantable device to deliver enough energy to defibrillate the heart without the need for a lead in or on the heart.

This " electric device " designed by Misell was powered by " D " batteries laid front-to-back in a paper tube with the light bulb and a rough brass reflector at the end.

This can be reduced by not attempting to recharge disposable alkaline cells, not mixing different battery types in the same device, replacing all of the batteries at the same time, storing in a dry place, and removing batteries for storage of devices.

All batteries gradually self-discharge ( whether installed in a device or not ) and dead batteries will eventually leak.

Its was powered by 2 high-powered watch batteries, which supplied the device enough energy for approximately 30 hours of use.

The artillery batteries of I Corps were particularly important because they enfiladed German gun positions behind Vimy Ridge.

These facilities were updated in both World War I and World War II ; in World War II, search light batteries were built on Steep Holm.

The first-generation, or " Gen I " car, which would be powered by lead-acid batteries and had a stated range of 70 to 100 miles ; 660 cars, painted dark green, red, and silver were produced.

Over the next two years, approximately 200 Gen I EV1s were refitted with NiMH batteries and re-issued to their original lessees on revised two-year leases, including a new limited-mileage clause.

The Phase I models of both the acoustic and seismic sensors were only available for operation in a continuous mode, which meant that under normal conditions, their lithium batteries would function for approximately 30 days.

Their batteries also provided the ability to operate for approximately 15 days longer than the Phase I models ( 45 days ).

The batteries were planned in World War I but only commissioned in 1921, and after a change of heart scrapped in 1926.
