In one study, a vanadium pentoxide surface that can switch reversibly between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity under the influence of UV radiation is presented.

Such relays are used to switch low-voltage signals ( one volt or less ) where the mercury reduces the contact resistance and associated voltage drop, for low-current signals where surface contamination may make for a poor contact, or for high-speed applications where the mercury eliminates contact bounce.

Top, left to right: circuit breaker, mercury switch, wafer switch, DIP switch, surface mount switch, reed switch.

Thus, a particular transistor may be described as silicon, surface mount, BJT, NPN, low power, high frequency switch.

The ocean temperature record too suffers from changing practices ( such as the switch from collecting water in canvas buckets to measuring the temperature from engine intakes ) but they are immune to the urban heat island effect or to changes in local land use / land cover ( LULC ) at the land surface station.

In December 2008, Nature published an article showing the discovery of an RNA interference mechanism that allows Giardia to switch variant-specific surface proteins to avoid host immune response.

When two compatible sporidia meet on the surface of the plant, they switch to a different mode of growth.

1962: BS 2814: 1957 Supplement No. 1 added specification for surface mounted switch outlets.

Unlike their precursors, they cannot switch antibody classes, cannot act as antigen-presenting cells because they no longer display MHC-II, and do not take up antigen because they no longer display significant quantities of immunoglobulin on the cell surface.

A rotary switch consists of a spindle or " rotor " that has a contact arm or " spoke " which projects from its surface like a cam.

If a thirty-second countdown passes and no-one activates the switch, the doomsday weapon will fire and leave the surface of the Earth uninhabitable within one week.

Where terminals are not present, as is typical in the downtown core, transfers are required to switch between the subway and surface routes.

Using open-source software and an IR-Pen ( a pen made with a momentary switch, power source and an Infrared Led ) any surface ( desk / floor / wall / whiteboard / LCD ) can be turned into an Interactive Whiteboard.

Ironically, the stadium had been among the first in the nation to switch from a natural grass playing surface to artificial turf in 1970, and then one of the first of those stadiums to switch back to natural grass in 1984.

A modern variation of the Niskin bottle uses actuated valves that may be either preset to trip at a specific depth detected by a pressure switch, or remotely controlled to do so via an electrical signal sent from the surface.

Each Mongol warrior would usually travel with multiple horses, allowing him to quickly switch to a fresh mount as needed.

The user can mount his or her newly formatted drive partition, and use Pacman with the appropriate command-line switch to have it use the mountpoint of the device as root for its operations.

The switch housing also makes for a convenient place to mount a light kit.

2. 5 to 6 amp controls typically mount in place of a typical wall switch, while 8 to 15 amp controls are larger.

The constantly changing clock causes many components to switch regardless of whether they are being used at that time.

Most diesels also have a battery and charging system ; nevertheless, this system is secondary and is added by manufacturers as a luxury for the ease of starting, turning fuel on and off ( which can also be done via a switch or mechanical apparatus ), and for running auxiliary electrical components and accessories.

Performance is high because the components switch quickly and consume little power ( compared to their discrete counterparts ) as a result of the small size and close proximity of the components.

The landline telephone contains a switchhook ( A4 ) and an alerting device, usually a ringer ( A7 ), that remains connected to the phone line whenever the phone is " on hook " ( i. e. the switch ( A4 ) is open ), and other components which are connected when the phone is " off hook ".

Some wire-ended components, such as 1N4148 small-signal switch diodes, are actually significantly cheaper than SMD equivalents.

An IED has five components: a switch ( activator ), an initiator ( fuse ), container ( body ), charge ( explosive ), and a power source ( battery ).

A quick-and-dirty method for switching, especially for those using a flash camera for the main components, is to use the flash tube itself as a switch.

This type of switch is designed to be used on a printed circuit board along with other electronic components and is commonly used to customize the behavior of an electronic device for specific situations.

In this case, the circuit board also needs interface circuitry for the dip switch, consisting of a series of pull-up or pull-down resistors, a buffer, decode logic, and other components.

VBX components were called " custom controls " because the Microsoft development team envisioned them as visual " control " components like a toggle switch or button.

System components on a spacecraft that put it into a safe mode or cause it to execute default behaviors when no command is received within a predefined time window can be considered a dead man's switch, but hardware or software that attempts to receive a command from human operators through an alternate channel is an auto-recovering or adaptive communications system, not a dead man's switch.

This switch is simplified because the 4. 3L V6 is based on the GM small-block V8, and most of the factory drivetrain components can be reused.

Typically, there are no electrical components, pumps and cooling mechanisms ( in the manual transmission ), other than an internal switch to activate reversing lighting.

A consequence of using these local components was the loss of the stalk operated headlight dip switch and horn.

The switch housing is used to conceal and protect various components, which can include wires, capacitors, and switches ; on fans that require oiling, it often conceals the oil reservoir which lubricates the bearings.
