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.

An anti-ballistic missile ( ABM ) is a missile designed to counter ballistic missiles ( a missile for missile defense ).

However the term is used more commonly for systems designed to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles ( ICBMs ).

The same counter is used in both the continuous and non-continuous graphics modes and switching modes mid-frame does not cause any adjustment to the counter.

By using the palette to mask the top area of the display and taking care about when it changes mode it can shift the continuous graphics at the bottom of the display down in two pixel increments because the internal display counter is not incremented on blank scanlines during non-continuous graphics modes.

The speaker can be programmatically switched on or off at any time but is permanently attached to a hardware counter so is normally only able to output a square wave.

The general tendency of his mind, nevertheless, was counter to tradition, and he is remarkable as resuming in his individual history all the phases of Protestant theology from Luther to Fausto Sozzini.

Warned of the coming invasion by Isabella, Wallace implores the Scottish nobility, who are more concerned with their own welfare, that immediate action is needed to counter the threat and to take back the country.

The location in program memory is determined by a program counter ( PC ), which stores a number that identifies the current position in the program.

Marvin Minsky expanded the model to two or more tapes and greatly simplified the tapes into " up-down counters ", which Melzak and Lambek further evolved into what is now known as the counter machine model.

In doing so, the program counter from the PCB is loaded, and thus execution can continue in the new process.

In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores ( and sometimes displays ) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred, often in relationship to a clock signal.

An asynchronous ( ripple ) counter is a single JK-type flip-flop, with its J ( data ) input fed from its own inverted output.

If this output is then used as the clock signal for a similarly arranged D flip-flop ( remembering to invert the output to the input ), you will get another 1 bit counter that counts half as fast.

This is the mechanism of a Geiger counter and also the visualization possible with a spark chamber and other wire chambers.

Individuals can better cope with organized persuasion by recognizing the common ways whereby communication is intensified or downplayed, so as to counter doublespeak.

The program counter is a 64-bit register which contains a longword-aligned virtual byte address, that is, the low two bits of the program counter are always zero.

* An ionization chamber / Geiger counter, mounted on the waveguide leading to the omnidirectional antenna nearer the body of the spacecraft, to measure the charged-particle intensity and distribution in interplanetary space and in the vicinity of Mars.

The scientific instrument package had a mass of 15. 6 kg ( 34. 4 lb ) and consisted of an STL image-scanning television system ( which replaced the NOTS image scanning infrared television system on Pioneer 1 ), a proportional counter for radiation measurements, an ionization chamber to measure radiation in space, a diaphragm / microphone assembly to detect micrometeorites, a spin-coil magnetometer to measure magnetic fields to 5 microgauss, and temperature-variable resistors to record spacecraft internal conditions.

The scientific instruments consisted of an ion chamber and Geiger-Müller tube to measure total radiation flux, a proportional radiation counter telescope to measure high energy radiation, a scintillation counter to monitor low-energy radiation, a VLF receiver for natural radio waves, a transponder to study electron density, and part of the television facsimile system and flux-gate and search coil magnetometers mounted on the instrument platform.

The scientific instruments consisted of an ion chamber and Geiger-Müller tube to measure total radiation flux, a proportional radiation counter telescope to measure high energy radiation, a scintillation counter to monitor low-energy radiation, a scintillation spectrometer to study the Earth's ( and possible lunar ) radiation belts, a VLF receiver for natural radio waves, a transponder to study electron density, and part of the flux-gate and search coil magnetometers mounted on the instrument platform.

The cloud chamber represented a primitive scintillation counter which could measure radioactivity.

A proportional counter uses a combination of the mechanisms of a Geiger-Muller tube and an ionisation chamber, and operates in an intermediate voltage region between these.

In a proportional counter the fill gas of the chamber is an inert gas which is ionised by incident radiation, and a quench gas to ensure each pulse discharge terminates ; a common mixture is 90 % argon, 10 % methane, known as P-10.

In summary, the proportional counter is an ingenious combination of two ionisation mechanisms in the one chamber which finds wide practical use.

A multi-wire chamber ( or just wire chamber ) is a type of proportional counter that detects charged particles and photons, by means of gaseous ionization detection of particles of ionizing radiation.

The Mw chamber is an advancement of the proportional chamber that has the capacities to measure the energies of particles instead of just the measurement of number of particles as in previous detection by counters, for example the Geiger counter.

The gas generator turbine does not need to deal with the counter pressure of injecting the exhaust into the combustion chamber.

This article is about both Geiger counters and Ion chamber instruments, as it uses the term " Geiger counter " as a colloquial name for any hand-held radiation measuring device in Civil defense.

( paragraph rewrite needed ) Master Spas revolutionised the “ swimspa ” market in the mid noughties with the introduction of units that incorporated a patented propulsion chamber, these units bought the benefits of volume driven counter currents to acrylic swimspas along with stand up and seated hydro therapy and as the Michael Phelps Signature Swimspa range by Master Spas are acknowledged as most advanced luxury swimming machines available in terms of performance and specification, the designer Bob Lauter CEO of Master Spas, has introduced several ground breaking swimspas designs over the last 30 years.

Ancillary words also divide into a nonconjugable class, containing grammatical particles ( 助詞 joshi ) and counter words ( 助数詞 josūshi ), and a conjugable class consisting of auxiliary verbs ( 助動詞 jodōshi ).

Products containing neonicotinoid compounds have one of these four active ingredients: clothianidin ( commercial ), dinotefuran ( over the counter and commercial ), imidacloprid ( over the counter and commercial ) and thiamethoxam ( commercial ).

In the United States, oral decongestants containing pseudoephedrine must be purchased behind the pharmacy counter by law to combat the making of methamphetamine.

1, 3-Diketones, such as acetylacetone, are particularly prone to form stable enols or enolates because of conjugation of the enol or enolate with the other carbonyl group, and the stability gained in forming a six-membered ring, ( hydrogen bonded in the case of the enol or containing the counter ion in the case of the enolate ).

The neutron spectrometer consisted of two canisters each containing helium-3 and an energy counter.

Under Project STOP, a maximum of one pseudoephedrine containing drugs can be sold over the counter per day.

A typical Coulter counter has one or more microchannels that separate two chambers containing electrolyte solutions.

Over the counter codeine containing drugs can only be sold in the presence of a qualified pharmacist, and pharmacists can question repeat customers and refuse sales of these drugs if overuse or abuse is suspected.
