Gate trigger current varies inversely with gate pulse width in such a way that it is evident that there is a minimum gate charge required to trigger the thyristor.

The minimum current able to do this is called gate threshold current and is generally indicated by I < sub > GT </ sub >.

Latching current is the minimum that can make up for the missing gate current in order to keep the device internal structure latched.

In particular, if the pulse width of the gate current is sufficiently large ( generally some tens of microseconds ), the TRIAC has completed the triggering process when the gate signal is discontinued and the latching current reaches a minimum level called holding current.

The output drive of a gate is equal to the minimum – over all possible combinations of inputs – of the output drive of the gate for that input.

The distinct feature of a gate valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar, so gate valves are often used when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restric ­ tion is desired.

When a triac is connected in its simplest form, it can clip the beginning of the voltage curve, due to the minimum gate voltage of the triac.

Equivalently, it was the quotient between the maximum angular momentum allowed by relativity for a closed orbit, and the minimum angular momentum allowed for it by quantum mechanics.

By the extreme value theorem, a continuous function on a closed interval must attain its minimum and maximum values at least once.

The law also contained a wide range of redundancy provisions such as the requirement to convene negotiations on the 35-hour week prior to any redundancy plan, enhanced powers for works councils, a contribution to the regeneration of closed sites by companies with a workforce of over 1, 000, nine-month redeployment leave for redundant workers, and the doubling of the minimum redundancy compensation.

After analyzing 70, 000 closed case files from 2005 to 2007, the Government Accountability Office reported that the Department's Wage and Hour Division inadequately investigated complaints from low-wage and minimum wage workers alleging that employers failed to pay the federal minimum wage, required overtime, and failed to issue a last paycheck.

( the minimum exists as the set of all such c is closed, nonempty, and bounded from below ).

* When the entropy ( S ) and " external parameters " ( e. g. volume ) of a closed system are held constant, the internal energy ( U ) decreases and reaches a minimum value at equilibrium.

* When the temperature ( T ) and external parameters of a closed system are held constant, the Helmholtz free energy ( F ) decreases and reaches a minimum value at equilibrium.

* When the pressure ( p ) and external parameters of a closed system are held constant, the enthalpy ( H ) decreases and reaches a minimum value at equilibrium.

* When the temperature ( T ), pressure ( p ) and external parameters of a closed system are held constant, the Gibbs free energy ( G ) decreases and reaches a minimum value at equilibrium.

For example, if a bounded differentiable function f defined on a closed interval in the real line has a single critical point, which is a local minimum, then it is also a global minimum ( use the intermediate value theorem and Rolle's theorem to prove this by reductio ad absurdum ).

In front of the closed curtains, the action could be continued during these entr ' actes, albeit involving only players with no scenery other than the curtain, and a minimum of props.

As nearly as possible a closed cycle was maintained so that a minimum of unknown factors should be introduced into the food chain to confuse the issue.

This come because the switching diodes or transistors act either like a low resistor ( switch closed ) or large resistor ( switch open ) and in both cases only minimum noise is added.

* For high inequalities the Theil index is larger than the Hoover index. This means for achieving equilibrium ( maximum entropy ) in a closed system, more resources would have to be reallocated than in case of a planned and optimized reallocation process, where only the necessary minimum share of resources would have to be reallocated.

In certain professional motorsport classifications, such as the Grand Touring categories promoted by the FIA, the GT car is defined as " an open or closed automobile which has no more than one door on each side and a minimum of two seats situated one on each side of the longitudinal centre line of the car ; these two seats must be crossed by the same transversal plane.

In the original SIMCA method, the ends of the hyper-plane of each class are closed off by setting statistical control limits along the retained principal components axes ( i. e. range: minimum score value minus 0. 5 times score standard deviation to maximum score value plus 0. 5 times standard deviation ).

* Fall protection: Carabiners use for fall protection in US industry are classified as " connectors " and are required to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard 1910. 66 App C Personal Fall Arrest System which specifies " drop forged, pressed or formed steel " construction and a minimum breaking strength of.

" Corroborating other theories, his conclusion is that a Sukhoi jet ( which he identifies as a Su-15 ' Flagon ') was flying below its minimum allowed altitude, and " without realizing it because of the terrible weather conditions, he passed within 10 or 20 meters of Yuri and Seregin's plane while breaking the sound barrier.

If the recursion is taken to the limit, breaking down the crossbar to the minimum possible number of switching elements, the resulting device is sometimes called a crossover switch or a banyan switch depending on its topology.

Mumbai's record breaking winter 2012 had the minimum temperature 8. 2 ° C.

However, supersymmetry breaking usually creates a potential energy for the scalar fields and the scalar fields localize near a minimum whose position should in principle be calculable in string theory.
