In the reinforced concrete structure scheme, the core has a similar arrangement to the steel scheme and the wind shear is taken out from the core at the lowest basement level and transferred to the perimeter diaphragm walls.

In combination with wet anisotropic etching as described above, ECE has been used successfully for controlling silicon diaphragm thickness in commercial piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors.

The toxin paralyzes diaphragm muscles and stops the person who has ingested it from breathing.

Unlike other reptiles, a crocodile has a cerebral cortex, a four-chambered heart, and the functional equivalent of a diaphragm, by incorporating muscles used for aquatic locomotion into respiration ( e. g. m. diaphragmaticus ); Its external morphology, on the other hand, is a sign of its aquatic and predatory lifestyle.

The facility has three separate driver configurations, to meet a range of test requirements: the driver can be connected to a diaphragm station of either a or a shock tube, and the high-pressure shock tube can also drive a shock tunnel.

A microphone has a diaphragm or membrane attached to a coil of wire.

Currently TakeT produce a piezoelectric film headphone which is shaped not unlike an AMT transducer but which like the driver Precide uses for their headphones, has a variation in the size of transducer folds over the diaphragm.

The thickness of the diaphragm and grids has been exaggerated for the purpose of illustration.

A closed collection system has a barrier or diaphragm that separates the pump tubing from the horn.

Specific designs vary, but in the most common configuration, these pumps are typically bolted onto the engine block or head, and the engine's camshaft has an extra eccentric lobe that operates a lever on the pump, either directly or via a pushrod, by pulling the diaphragm to bottom dead center.

It has a contractile diaphragm in front of the lens with a central opening called the pupil.

When the chamber is full and the lowering of pressure has been reversed, the diaphragm expands outwards to its normal position to close the medium pressure valve when the diver stops breathing in.

As the thoracic diaphragm relaxes during exhalation it causes the tissue it has depressed to rise superiorly and put pressure on the lungs to expel the air.

* APO 50-500 / 4-6. 3 EX DG / HSM, 20 elements in 16 groups, 9 diaphragm blades, f / 22 min, 100 – 300 cm close focus, 1: 5. 2 magnification, 86 mm filters, ø95 × 218. 5 mm, 1840 g. This large and heavy lens has earned the nickname " Bigma ".

A natural optical system that has a diaphragm and an aperture is the human eye.

The diaphragm usually has two to eight blades, depending on price and quality of the device in which it is used.

In a photograph, the number of blades that the iris diaphragm has can be guessed by counting the number of spikes converging from a light source or bright reflection.

Unlike a real diaphragm, this has no effect on depth of field.

Kingslake has more definite histories for some other diaphragm types, such as M. Noton's adjustable cat eye diaphragm of two sliding squares in 1856, and the Waterhouse stops of John Waterhouse in 1858.

More specifically, kappo refers to resuscitation techniques used to revive someone who has been choked to the point of unconsciousness, to lessen the pain of a strike to the groin, to help unlock a seized thoracic diaphragm, to stop a bleeding nose, and other common training injuries.

The basement of the building has a depth of, and has a thick diaphragm wall to prevent water ingress.

* Stage III indicates that the cancer has spread to both sides of the diaphragm, including one organ or area near the lymph nodes or the spleen.

In this device, sound waves traveling through the air vibrated a parchment diaphragm which was linked to a bristle, and the bristle traced a line through a thin coating of soot on a sheet of paper wrapped around a rotating cylinder.

Exhalation occurs through a one-way diaphragm valve in the chamber of the demand valve, directly into the water quite close to the diver's mouth.

It forms the posterior vagal trunk at the lower part of the esophagus and enters the diaphragm through the esophageal hiatus.

This happens through one of two actions ( or a mix of the two ): when the lower ribs the diaphragm connects to are stabilized by muscles and the central tendon is mobile, when the muscle contracts the central tendon is drawn down, compressing the cavity underneath and expanding the thoracic cavity downward.

The current flowing through the coil interacts with the magnetic field of carefully placed magnets on either side of the diaphragm, causing the membrane to vibrate more or less uniformly and without much bending or wrinkling.

This is remedied by the use of a small piston or diaphragm pump which, when actuated by the throttle linkage, forces a small amount of gasoline through a jet into the carburetor throat.

This may be accomplished either through stomach vibrato, the pulsing of the diaphragm slightly up and down, or throat vibrato, a variation of vocal chord tension to manipulate air pressure as singers do.

This lack of a pleural space, along with an unusually thick diaphragm, are thought to be evolutionary adaptations allowing the elephant to remain underwater for long periods of time while breathing through its trunk which emerges as a snorkel.

The sound reaching this ribbon would be converted into light by the shivering of the diaphragm, focusing the resulting light waves through the slit, where it would be photographed on the side of the film, on a strip about a tenth of an inch wide.

In playback mode, a dull, loosely mounted stylus, attached to a rubber diaphragm, carried the reproduced sounds through an ear tube to its listener.

A hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach protrudes into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm.

Higher in the abdomen, an ( internal ) " diaphragmatic hernia " results when part of the stomach or intestine protrudes into the chest cavity through a defect in the diaphragm.

Intestinal organs may herniate through several parts of the diaphragm, posterolateral ( in Bochdalek's triangle, resulting in Bochdalek's hernia ), or anteromedial-retrosternal ( in the cleft of Larrey / Morgagni's foramen, resulting in Morgagni-Larrey hernia, or Morgagni's hernia ).

* Morgagni hernia: a type of hernia where abdominal contents pass into the thorax through a weakness in the diaphragm

* Diaphragmatic pacemaker, a device used to help patients breathe through pacing of the diaphragm

A micrometeorite hitting the diaphragm would generate an acoustic pulse that would travel through the diaphragm to the microphone.

The esophagus passes through posterior mediastinum in thorax and enters abdomen through a hole in the diaphragm at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebrae ( T10 ).

The diaphragm is actuated by the attached voice coil, when an audio current is passed through the coil.

The alternating magnetic field produced by the current through the coil reacts against the static magnetic field in turn, causing the coil and attached diaphragm to move the air, thus producing sound.

' As illustrated in the second diagram, when there is electric current through the coil, it magnetizes the armature one way or the other, causing it to rotate slightly one way or the other about the pivot thus moving the diaphragm to make sound.

A hiatus hernia or hiatal hernia is the protrusion ( or herniation ) of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm.

In fundoplication, the gastric fundus ( upper part ) of the stomach is wrapped, or plicated, around the inferior part of the esophagus, preventing herniation of the stomach through the hiatus in the diaphragm and the reflux of gastric acid.
