Modern CPUs are large scale integrated circuits in packages typically less than four centimeters square, with hundreds of connecting pins.

In this method, pins are pushed into the paper at two points which will become the ellipse's foci.

The most common are strap buttons, also called strap pins, which are flanged steel posts anchored to the guitar with screws.

Modern harp strings are often nylon or, less often, metal ; tuning pins are also metal components.

The upper ends of the strings are attached to pins in holes drilled through the neck at specific intervals and at specific distances from the soundboard.

A hammered dulcimer, like an autoharp, harp, or piano, requires a tuning wrench for tuning, since the dulcimer's strings are wound around tuning pins with square heads.

( Ordinarily, 5 mm " zither pins " are used, similar to, but smaller in diameter than piano tuning pins, which come in various sizes ranging upwards from " 1 / 0 " or 7 mm.

Tuning pins are held tightly in holes drilled in the pinblock or wrestplank, an oblong hardwood plank.

Withdrawal symptoms may include, but are not limited to ; severe pain, pins and needles sensation throughout body, sweating, extreme anxiety and restlessness, sneezing, watery eyes, fever, depression, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and extreme drug cravings, among others.

There are three basic types of knitting needles ( also called " knitting pins ").

Starting from the bottom right are two crochet hooks, two stitch holders ( quasi-safety pins ), and two cable needles in pink and green.

This proved fairly successful due to the simplicity of the core, which allowed it to be used in a number of applications that would have formerly used much less capable CISC designs of similar gate count and price — the two are strongly related ; the price of a CPU is generally related to the number of gates and the number of external pins.

GPIO pins are software configurable to either an input or an output state.

When GPIO pins are configured to an input state, they are often used to read sensors or external signals.

These connection points are called " ports " or " pins ", among several other names.

Often these pins are left out of the diagram for clarity, and the power configuration is described or assumed from the circuit.

Some punks wear tight " drainpipe " jeans, plaid / tartan trousers, kilts or skirts, T-shirts, leather jackets ( which are often decorated with painted band logos, pins and buttons, and metal studs or spikes ), and footwear such as Converse sneakers, skate shoes, brothel creepers, or Dr. Martens boots.

Such pins as these are rarely seen by the referee and are subsequently often used by heels and on occasion by cheating faces to win matches.

" The pins are driven by electromechanical impact drivers and are held in position by resilient elastomeric cords.

The strings are all uniformly spaced with one end coiled around the tuning pins, which in turn are inserted in a laminated wooden block called the pin-block or wrestplank.

Card clothing made from a sturdy flexible backing in which closely spaced wire pins are embedded.

The pins are commonly spaced 2. 54 mm ( 0. 1 ") apart, and may or may not cover the entire underside of the package.

The contacts in either row of these connectors are spaced 326 / 3000 of an inch apart, or approximately, and the rows are spaced apart ( the pins in the two rows are offset by half the distance between adjacent contacts in a row ).

* Tweezer probes are a pair of electrical test probes fixed to a tweezer mechanism to measure voltages or other electronic circuit parameters between closely spaced pins.

In string art it is common to cross-connect two lines of equally spaced pins.

Socket 5 was created for the second generation of Intel P5 Pentium processors operating at speeds from 75 to 120 MHz as well as certain Pentium OverDrive and Pentium MMX processors with core voltage 3. 3 V. Consisting of 320 pins, this was the first socket to use a staggered pin grid array, or SPGA, which allowed the chip's pins to be spaced closer together than earlier sockets.

In the vases this spirit may perhaps at times bore or repel one in its internal self-satisfaction, but the best of the Geometric pins have rightly been considered among the most beautiful ever made in the Greek world.

Adam Smith discusses the division of labour in the manufacture of pins at length in his book The Wealth of Nations ( published in 1776 ).

The microprocessor conventionally has a number of electrical connections called " pins " that can be used to select an " address " in the main memory, and another set of pins to read and write the data stored at that location.

Many CPUs feature a second set of pins similar to those for communicating with memory, but able to operate at very different speeds and using different protocols.

A string tied at each end to the two pins and the tip of a pen is used to pull the loop taut so as to form a triangle.

The ruler is replaced by a rod with a pencil holder ( point C ) at one end, and two adjustable side pins ( points A and B ) that slide into two perpendicular slots cut into a metal plate.

Raw material went in at one end, was smelted into brass and was turned into pans, pins, wire, and other goods.

Only 24 pins were connected to the address bus, therefore limiting addressing to 16 MB, but this was not a critical constraint at the time.

Resin makes a bowling ball tackier than it would otherwise be, increasing its ability to hook into the pins at an angle and ( with correct technique ) making strikes easier to achieve.

They may be refereed to as iron pins or pipes, stakes, trees, concrete monuments or what ever the surveyor decides to use at the time, within the regulations for the area.

In practice, it is possible to mate the pins at the opposite end to the analogue signals later if the connector is inserted at an angle.

The Earth's rotation causes the trajectory of the pendulum to change over time, knocking down pins at different positions as time elapses and the Earth rotates

Theoretically, there are 2 < sup > 2 < sup > m </ sup ></ sup > possible Boolean functions of these m signals, but the structure of the ROM allows just of these functions to be produced at the output pins.

To retrieve data from the EPROM, the address represented by the values at the address pins of the EPROM is decoded and used to connect one word ( usually an 8-bit byte ) of storage to the output buffer amplifiers.

Some sights have multiple " pins " set up for targets at different distances.

The score – which asks for any number of performers to, among other things, “ play ”, “ pluck or tap ”, “ scratch or rub ”, “ drop objects ” on, “ act on strings with ”, “ strike soundboard, pins, lid or drag various kinds of objects across them ” and “ act in any way on underside of piano ” – resulted in the total destruction of a piano when performed by Maciunas, Higgins and others at Wiesbaden.

Japanese cultural history has complex and pervasive traditions of wrapping and tying in everyday life that go back for at least a millennium — touching on things as varied as Shinto votive items, the transportation & packing of foodstuffs and Japanese traditional clothing which is tied to the body instead of being held with the buttons, pins and fasteners of western dress.

A sailing rudder is usually tied or clipped to a simple pair of pintles ( hinge pins ) on the transom with the bottom pintle being longer so that the rudder can be mounted one pintle at a time.

The point at which the pins properly separate when the lock is unlocked is called the shearline.

A further development took place during the ninth century ( according to pictorial representations, at first outside of Rome where ancient traditions were not maintained so strictly ): the band, which had hitherto been kept in place by the pins, was sewn Y-shaped, without, however, being cut.
