In our current understanding of physics, the Bohr model is called a semi-classical model because of its quantization of angular momentum, not primarily because of its relationship with electron wavelength, which appeared in hindsight a dozen years after the Bohr model was proposed.

The 1976 definition of the astronomical unit was incomplete, in particular because it does not specify the frame of reference in which time is to be measured, but proved practical for the calculation of ephemerides: a fuller definition that is consistent with general relativity was proposed, and " vigorous debate " ensued until in August 2012 the International Astronomical Union adopted the current definition of 1 astronomical unit = 149597870700 meters.

The alternating current power line frequency of 60 Hz was the primary clock rate for the lowest level operations.

Combined area of the four panels was 15 square meters ( 161 square feet ), and they provided both regulated and unregulated direct current power ; unregulated power was provided to the radio transmitter and the lander.

The current status is a partially regulated structure in which consumers have received a capped price for a portion of the publicly owned generation.

A regulated power supply is one that controls the output voltage or current to a specific value ; the controlled value is held nearly constant despite variations in either load current or the voltage supplied by the power supply's energy source.

In Swift v. United States,, the Court ruled that the clause covered meatpackers ; although their activity was geographically " local ", they had an important effect on the " current of commerce ", and thus could be regulated under the Commerce Clause.

On November 26, 1967, at 4: 00 PM WLTI became a licensed and regulated FCC educational FM station broadcasting over air on its current frequency at 91. 5 FM, using a transmitter ( 10 watts ) and an antenna, which was capable of reaching Cumnock, Southwick, Leitch, and Bourgeois Halls and a five-mile radius from the transmitter and antenna which were both located in Southwick Hall.

A thyristor drive is a motor drive circuit where AC supply current is regulated by a thyristor phase control to provide variable voltage to a DC motor.

In most commercial equipment the current surge to the degauss coil is regulated by a simple PTC thermistor device which initially has a low resistance but quickly changes to a high resistance due to the heating effect of the current flow.

Its convocation will be done by the President on January 1, 1820, in accordance with a previously regulated memos that will be formulated by a Special Commission and under the approval of the current Congress.

Among current problems that require solutions, participated in by citizens as well as government, are:

To the extent that our sampling of the orientations of American college students in the years 1950 and 1952 may be representative of our culture -- and still valid in 1959 -- we are disposed to question the summary characterization of the current generation as silent, beat, apathetic, or as a mass of other-directed conformists who are guided solely by social radar without benefit of inner gyroscopes.

During the discharge the magnetic forces set up by the passage of current cause the edges of the foil to roll inward toward its center line, thus allowing light to pass into the camera.

it has been estimated that spending by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will rise from less than $500 million in fiscal 1960 to more than $2 billion by 1967, and that the electronic industry's share of these expenditures will be closer to 50% than the current 20%.
