In contrast, many CLECs formed in the post-Telecom Act " bubble " operated using the unbundled Network Element Platform ( UNE-P ), in which they resold the ILECs ' service by leasing the underlying copper and port space on the ILEC's local switch.

The underlying copper ( loop ) that runs to your house is then leased by the CLEC, and cross-connected to the CLEC's switch.

On the other hand if a switch will mostly have one port type ( especially if that port type is copper ) purchasing a switch with that port type built in will be cheaper and take up less space per port.

It interfaces a network device mother board ( for a switch, router, media converter or similar device ) to a fiber optic or copper networking cable.

An analysis by Electronics Australia found that a typical ' Rife device ' consisted of a nine-volt battery, wiring, a switch, a timer and two short lengths of copper tubing, which delivered an " almost undetectable " current unlikely to penetrate the skin.

A huge pulse of current is forced through the work coil by rapidly discharging a high voltage capacitor bank using an ignitron or a spark gap ( copper vapour thyratron ) as a switch.

Many switches are PHY independent, meaning that a switch could have a mixture of copper, SX, LX, LX10 or other GBICs.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

With greater investments in plant facilities, with automation growing, you can't switch around, either in volume or in product design, as much as was formerly possible -- or at least not as economically.

The initial setting of the availability table indicated that the index word or electronic switch was not available for assignment.

The one- or two-digit number of the index word or electronic switch was used in the operand of a symbolic machine instruction to specify indexing or as a parameter which is always an index word or electronic switch, e.g., 3.

The one- or two-digit number of the index word or electronic switch was used in the operand of an EQU statement, e.g.,

If the symbolic name or actual address of an index word or electronic switch appears or is included in the operand of an XRELEASE or SRELEASE statement ( see page 101 ), the specified index word or electronic switch will again be made available, regardless of the method by which it was reserved.

The economist does not look for a drastic switch in the budget during this recovery and believes it `` even more unlikely that the Federal Reserve will aggressively tighten monetary policy in the early phases of the upturn as was the case in 1958 ''.

A software ROM was still supplied, but this did no more than expand the hardware ROM so that it knew mode 7 now existed and was able to switch into it.

The 5200 also featured the innovation of the first automatic TV switchbox, allowing it to automatically switch from regular TV viewing to the game system signal when the system was activated.

A single cable coming out of the 5200 plugged into the switch box and was used for both electricity and the television signal.

He was a liberal during the conservative 1950s, only to switch to conservative during the liberal, hippie-era 1960s.

When the key was not in use, that switch was kept closed, so that a signal was continually sent.

All the same the Battle of Kursk was marked by the Soviet switch to offence and the use of the revived doctrine of deep operations.

Participating in these intrigues was the general Megabyzus, whose decision to switch sides probably saved the Achamenids from losing their control of the Persian throne.

The genus Trichophilopterus is also found on mammals ( lemurs ) but probably belongs to the " avian Ischnocera " and represents a host switch from birds to mammals.

The central switch periodically counts concentrators, and schedules maintenance, probably before users notice the failure.

Larger leopard seals probably switch from krill to more substantial prey, including king, adelie, rockhopper, gentoo and emperor penguins, and less frequently, other seals, such as the crabeater seal.

Possibly the Black Death affected the town but what was probably more important was the switch of trade patterns ; the fair declined and the growth of Hull may have done for Crowle what it was doing for Beverley, taking its trade.

For example, the instruction set specifications of a CPU might leave the behavior of some forms of an instruction undefined, but if the CPU supports memory protection then the specification will probably include a blanket rule stating that no user-accessible instruction may cause a hole in the operating system's security ; so an actual CPU would be permitted to corrupt any or all user registers in response to such an instruction but would not be allowed to, for example, switch into supervisor mode.

He is naturally treacherous, but is sufficiently afraid of Darkseid that he will not turn against his master unless someone else takes the lead ( and will probably switch sides again if it looks like they will fail ).

Most of his examples are note-against-note, and demonstrate how to end on a fifth or an octave by good voice-leading ; he emphasizes the importance of contrary motion, a practice which differed from the parallel organum of the preceding centuries ( though it probably reflected a current practice ; in the absence of many surviving 11th century manuscripts it is difficult to date when the switch from mostly parallel to mostly contrary motion occurred ).

The comic has survived many hiatuses ( the lengthiest lasting from August 14, 2004, to January 31, 2005 ) and much artistic evolution ( probably the most drastic change being a switch from full-color to black and white comics, a decision Clem credits partially to discovering his being partially colorblind ), but it remains, to this day, one of the longest lasting comics on the internet.

Simply combining non-agouti and dilute alleles would probably indeed result in a greyish or " maltese " tiger, but such an animal would have hardly-visible stripes or none at all: Normal tigers switch between agouti ( orange ) and non-agouti ( black ) in different areas of their pelage, as well as suppressing melanin production thoroughly ( white ).

For a Maltese-and-striped fur, pheomelanin production must probably be suppressed ( to switch from an orange to a greyish color ) but agouti retained ( to yield darker stripes ); perhaps some hypermelanism would also be present, to produce an animal with a non-white belly as reported by Caldwell.

The high ratings at WYCD are probably what led 106. 7 The Drive to switch formats back to country in May 2006.

Young children in Japan commonly refer to themselves by their own name ( a habit probably picked from their elders who would normally refer to them by name, this is due to the normal Japanese way of speaking where referring to another in the third person is considered more polite rather than using the Japanese words for " you ", like Omae ) though as the children grow older they normally switch over to using first person references.
