His looting of the orderly room had taken only a minute or two and the vicinity was still clear of guerrillas.

The only thing which would have attracted attention was that two wore the uniform of prison guards, three the striped suits of convicts.

Bryn Mawr Drive is only two or three miles from the Spartan, and it took me less than five minutes to get there.

Actually, only two men know what the formula is, Blake and '' -- He stopped and looked at Thor's body.

Packing a small suitcase, informing her husband whom she found in Harry's Bar that she was taking a train to Germany to get away for a while, patting his arm, refusing a drink, getting on the train -- all this had only taken her two hours.

It made only a tiny bump over the two men like a tire over a piece of gravel then moved on.

In the past, the duties of the state, as Sir Henry Maine noted long ago, were only two in number: internal order and external security.

He need only pick up one of the two red telephone receivers at his extreme left, right next to the big red button marked alert.

It seems that for Persia, and especially for this city, there are only two times: the glorious past and the corrupt, depressing, sterile present.

I think it is essential, however, to pinpoint here the difference between the two concepts of sovereignty that went to war in 1861 -- if only to see better how imperative is our need today to clarify completely our far worse confusion on this subject.

The Constitution of the Southern `` Confederation '' differed from that of the Federal Union only in two important respects: It openly, defiantly, recognized slavery -- an institution which the Southerners of 1787, even though they continued it, found so impossible to reconcile with freedom that they carefully avoided mentioning the word in the Federal Constitution.

The only important differences from that standpoint, between the two Constitutions, lies in their Preambles.

The result was that I found myself in the ridiculous position of having made a formal engagement by letter for the next week, only two days before my departure from London.

Boniface had to uphold the sacredness of the feudal contract at all costs, for it was only as suzerain of Sicily and of the Patrimony of Peter that he had any justification for his Italian wars, but in the English-Scottish-French triangle it was almost impossible for him to recognize the claims of any one of the contestants without seeming to invalidate those of the other two.

These shifts in alliance and allegiance not only increased the difficulties confronting the English embassy as a whole, but also directly involved the two Savoyards, Amadee and Othon.

But all the reports of this first embassy show that the two Savoyards were the heads of it, for they were the only ones who were empowered to swear for the king that he would abide by the pope's decision and who were allowed to appoint deputies in the event that one was unavoidably absent.

the Low Countries, where the Middle Ages were to last for another two centuries and die out only when Charles the Bold of Burgundy met his first defeat in the fields and forests below the walls of Grandson.

There are only two men remaining in Congress who, with Rayburn, voted for the declaration of war against Germany in 1917.

Where only one club existed before, he says, two will flourish henceforth.

Since two of these could be trustees of the college, actually it would be necessary to have the consent of only one elected official to impose a levy of millions of dollars of tax revenue.

These seem about the only two ways in which the `` unhappy incident '' can now be closed.

The Peiping Chinese were the only major silver seller in the world markets who stopped selling the metal on Monday morning, November 27, anticipating by two days the announcement of the U.S. Treasury that the pegged offering price will be removed.

Somebody, got to be somebody If I don't put my two cents in soon, somebody else will I know they're waitin only for one thing: for the bastards what done it to be nailed.

that aside from due notification of certain major events in their lives ( two marriages, two births, one divorce ), Christmas and Easter cards of the traditional sort had been the only thin link she had with them through the widowed years.

* Konica S II ( 1961 ) only offered with Hexanon 48 / 2

* Konica EE-Matic ( 1963 ) AE only, selenium metering cell ( no battery ).

Shawnee State, located in downtown Portsmouth, has a campus, featuring 36 buildings, including the Advanced Technology Center ( former home of one of only 50 Digistar II planetariums in the world and now home to the first Konica Minolta MediaGlobe II system in the United States ), the Clark Memorial Library ( which provides access to the 45. 5 million items of the OhioLINK libraries ' collections ), the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts, which features an acoustically superior 1, 139-seat main theatre and one of only a few functioning Virtual Audio Listening Rooms designed ( along with main theater ) by George Izenour.

The range of 21 Sony lenses announced at that time also included only revisions of earlier Minolta designs, or models which had been in development, rebadged and with minor cosmetic changes.

With the launch of the Coolscan 9000 ED Nikon introduced its most up-to-date film scanner which, like the Minolta Dimage scanners were the only film scanners that, due to a special version of Digital ICE, were able to scan Kodachrome film reliably both dust and scratch free.

Of the major manufacturers, however, currently only Sony ( formerly Minolta ) offers a 500 mm catadioptric lens for their Alpha range of cameras.

The expected female beginner photography market also failed to appear, as tyro photographers ( including women ) rejected the implicit condescension of an aperture-priority only EM, and voted with their wallets in favor of higher-priced Nikons or the extra features of less-expensive Canon and Minolta cameras.

It differs from a digital signal, in which a continuous quantity is represented by a discrete function which can only take on one of a finite number of values.

However, in digital systems, degradation can not only be detected but corrected as well.

Historically, before the advent of widespread digital technology, ASP was the only method by which to manipulate a signal.

Limitations with mp3-player DJing equipment has meant that only second generation equipment such as the IDJ2 or the Cortex Dmix-300 have the pitch control that alters tempo and allows for beatmatching on a digital music player.

The services replaced Ceefax, the BBC's analogue teletext service, and is only available via digital television receivers.

Although the experimental service was publicly available, there were no digital set-top boxes or receivers available on the market which could decode the signal and the service was only presented to the public via BBC demonstrations using prototype receivers.

To this day, it and BBC Parliament remain the only BBC " digital " channels which are made available to analogue cable subscribers.

" At first only very basic non-specialized digital circuits such as NOR gates were miniaturized into ICs.

The argument applies only to digital computers and does not apply to machines in general.

A deluxe digital version, available for download only, has 32 tracks including a rare 1987 live recording of the band's version of the Hunters & Collectors song " Throw Your Arms Around Me ".

The world's first digital computer music was generated in Australia by programmer Geoff Hill on the CSIRAC computer which was designed and built by Trevor Pearcey and Maston Beard, although it was only used to play standard tunes of the day.

Due to widespread cable theft in earlier analog systems, in modern digital cable systems the signals are encrypted, and the set-top box must be activated by an activation code sent by the cable company before it will function, which is only sent after the subscriber signs up.

Other than UPC, the only other operator providing analogue and digital cable is Casey Cablevision, which operates in Dungarvan, County Waterford.

A ' documentary film ' was originally shot on film stock — the only medium available — but now includes video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video, made as a television program or released for screening in cinemas.

Other techniques, such as wavetable synthesis and physical modeling, only became possible with the advent of high-speed microprocessor and digital signal processing technology.

Example: the actual temperature is 23. 234456544453 degrees but if only two digits ( 23 ) are assigned to this parameter in a particular digital representation ( e. g. digital thermometer or table in a printed report ) the quantizing error is: 0. 234456544453.

* A combination of two devices ( or only one, if playback is digital ) to play sound recordings, for alternating back and forth to create a continuous playback of music ( for example, record players, Compact Disc players, computer media players such as an MP3 player, etc.

An example is the comparator which takes in a continuous range of voltage but only outputs one of two levels as in a digital circuit.

Television is broadcast as digital ( DVB-T ) only since August 2007.

On cable, only digital ( DVB-C ) will be broadcast from 2008 on.

In practical use, this is not a problem, because we are generally only interested in compressing certain types of messages, for example English documents as opposed to jibberish text, or digital photographs rather than noise, and it is unimportant if our compression algorithm makes certain kinds of random sequences larger.

An analog joystick is a joystick which has continuous states, i. e. returns an angle measure of the movement in any direction in the plane or the space ( usually using potentiometers ), whereas a digital joystick gives only on / off signals for four different directions and its mechanically possible combinations ( such as up-right or down-left ).

This also affects his singles ' chart positions without digital downloads added in ( for example, " All Summer Long " only peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 ).

This image transformation generally requires digital signal processing, so letterboxing was the only way in which films were presented in widescreen on home video prior to the DVD format ( with a few exceptions outside the mass market, such as Squeeze LD ).
