Continuous low-level lighting may be provided in the shelter by means of a 4-cell hot-shot battery to which is wired a 150-milliampere flashlight-type bulb.

As everybody is curious to see the battery of glass tubes I have invented, I have had quite a small one made here of four glass tubes ( in Copenhagen I used 30 ) and intend to carry it with me ''.

At a minimum, recording -- usually on tape, which is now in wide professional use -- brings the psychiatric interview alive so that the full range of emotion and meaning can be explored repeatedly by the therapist or by a battery of therapists.

The term is often confused with battery, which involves physical contact.

Assault in some US jurisdictions is defined more broadly still as any intentional physical contact with another person without their consent ; but in the majority of the United States, and in England and Wales and all other common law jurisdictions in the world, this is defined instead as battery.

Thus throwing a rock at someone for the purpose of hitting him is a battery if the rock in fact strikes the person and is an assault if the rock misses.

Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 provides that common assault, like battery, is triable only in the magistrates ' court in England and Wales ( unless it is linked to a more serious offence, which is triable in the Crown Court ).

It is not defined in terms of the offences of common assault or battery.

There is no distinction made in Scotland between assault and battery ( which is not a term used in Scots law ), although, as in England and Wales, assault can be occasioned without a physical attack on another's person, as demonstrated in Atkinson v. HM Advocate wherein the accused was found guilty of assaulting a shop assistant by simply jumping over a counter wearing a ski mask.

In common law states an assault is not committed by merely, for example, swearing at another ; without threat of battery, there can be no assault.

There is no crime of battery in New York.

The battery made by Volta is credited as the first electrochemical cell.

* In a discharging battery or galvanic cell ( diagram at right ) the anode is the negative terminal since that is where the current flows into " the device " ( i. e. the battery cell ).

* In a recharging battery, or an electrolytic cell, the anode is the positive terminal, which receives current from an external generator.

The current through a recharging battery is opposite to the direction of current during discharge ; In other words, the electrode which was the cathode during battery discharge becomes the anode while the battery is recharging.

It is a very versatile weapon, because all parts of the gun ( lens, frame, battery, and grenade ) can be customized.

The Psion Series 3 range is regarded by Scottish writer Charles Stross as an unsurpassed PDA because of its long battery life ( 20 to 35 hours ), its stable and versatile software, and its durable hardware.

Generally it is a battery, but sub-divided batteries are quite common, and in some armies very common.

IEEE 802. 15. 4-2003 ( Low Rate WPAN ) deals with low data rate but very long battery life ( months or even years ) and very low complexity.

In 1853 the case of the patent came before the U. S. Supreme Court where, after very lengthy investigation, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney ruled that Morse had been the first to combine the battery, electromagnetism, the electromagnet and the correct battery configuration into a workable practical telegraph.

The dial switch in the base interrupted the line current by repeatedly but very briefly disconnecting the line 1 – 10 times for each digit, and the hook switch ( in the center of the circuit diagram ) disconnected the line and the transmitter battery while the handset was on the cradle.

This feature makes it very easy to provide battery backed power to the entire system, including the locks and various types of detectors ( if used ).

Most manufacturers claim that overcharging is safe at very low currents, below 0. 1 C ( where C is the current equivalent to the capacity of the battery divided by one hour ).

High quality separators are very important for battery performance.

In all, the French cavalry charge had been very costly-for the entire day, Nansouty's division alone lost 1, 200 horses killed or wounded and a great number of men out of action-but it did allow Masséna to successfully disengage and gained time for the deployment of the grand battery.

Early machines were crude, used a lot of battery power, and worked only to a very limited degree.

Selenium sensors generate enough voltage for direct connection to a meter ; they need no battery to operate and this made them very convenient in completely mechanical cameras.

This is based on the assumption that significantly increasing the number of internal combustion engines worldwide would increase global warming, and that the economic damage from global warming would more than offset any economic growth brought about from the increase in automobiles ; however, if the new automobiles were ethanol-fuelled or battery powered from non-greenhouse-gas-producing energy sources such as solar, wind, or nuclear instead of petroleum-fuelled, the effect on global warming might be very minor and not uneconomic at all.

Sonotone had the technology for making sintered plate nickel – cadmium batteries that can be recharged very rapidly and are lighter than a typical automobile lead – acid battery.

However, the Ni – Cd battery is still very useful in applications requiring very high discharge rates because it can endure such discharge with no damage or loss of capacity.

* The capacity of a Ni – Cd battery is not significantly affected by very high discharge currents.

Even with discharge rates as high as 50C, a Ni – Cd battery will provide very nearly its rated capacity.

One of the biggest disadvantages is that the battery exhibits a very marked negative temperature coefficient.

However a study showed that even with very optimistic assumptions, air storage of energy is less efficient than chemical ( battery ) storage.

The resulting network will use very small amounts of power — individual devices must have a battery life of at least two years to pass ZigBee certification.

Even today there is a market among collectors for these types of camera, as the engineering and materials were of a very high standard and no battery is required.

In modern electronic equipment that monitors the voltage to indicate battery charge, the battery appears to be draining very quickly.

In common law, criminal assault often accompanied battery.

English law provides for two offences of assault: common assault and battery.

Confusingly, the terms " assault " and " common assault " often encompass the separate offence of battery, even in statutory settings such as s 40 ( 3 )( a ) of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.

American common law has defined assault as an attempt to commit a battery.

The red LED and blue / green vacuum fluorescent displays consumed a lot of power and the calculators either had a short battery life ( often measured in hours, so rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries were common ) or were large so that they could take larger, higher capacity batteries.

Electric fields are the cause of several common phenomena, such as electric potential ( such as the voltage of a battery ) and electric current ( such as the flow of electricity through a flashlight ).

The mercury battery using zinc and mercuric oxide provided higher levels of power and capacity than the original dry cell for early electronic devices, but has been phased out of common use due to the danger of mercury pollution from discarded cells.

A common example of an electrochemical cell is a standard 1. 5-volt " battery ".

The term " battery " was coined by Benjamin Franklin, who likened it to a battery of cannon ( cannons grouped in a common place ).

During the 20th century, " common battery " operation came to dominate, powered by " talk battery " from the telephone exchange over the same wires that carried the voice signals.

Rural and other telephones that were not on a common battery exchange had a magneto or hand-cranked generator to produce a high voltage alternating signal to ring the bells of other telephones on the line and to alert the operator.

In phones connected to common battery exchanges, the ringer box was installed under a desk, or other out of the way place, since it did not need a battery or magneto.

Octodes such as the 7A8 were rarely used in the US, but much more common in Europe, particularly in battery operated radios where the lower power consumption was an advantage.

By the time Edison introduced his new alkaline battery, the gasoline powered car had so improved that electric vehicles were becoming increasingly less common, being used mainly as delivery vehicles in cities.

In telecommunication, a common battery is a single electrical power source used to energize more than one circuit, electronic component, equipment, or system.
