Unless all gadgets are properly operated -- and the wires and seals from the handles removed first -- no damage can be done.

Mr. Devey's new responsibilities are in addition to those of his present post as marketing manager of Sprague's Special Products Group, which manufactures a wide line of digital electronic components, packaged component assemblies, and high temperature magnet wires.

Today, abaci are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal.

The gases are contained in a test-tube ( A ) standing over a large quantity of weak alkali ( B ), and the current is conveyed in wires insulated by U-shaped glass tubes ( CC ) passing through the liquid and round the mouth of the test-tube.

Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme ( near the station ).

In metals, which make up the wires and other conductors in most electrical circuits, the positive charges are immobile, and the charge carriers are electrons.

Audio and radio signals carried on electrical wires are also examples of alternating current.

Knife resistant armours are designed to defend against knife attacks, some of these use layers of metal plates, mail and metallic wires.

It was quickly recognised that they are the particles that carry electric currents in metal wires, and carry the negative electric charge of the atom.

If the weight of the cable and supporting wires are not negligible then the analysis is more complex.

The phenomenon was further investigated by Ampère, who discovered that two parallel current-carrying wires exerted a force upon each other: two wires conducting currents in the same direction are attracted to each other, while wires containing currents in opposite directions are forced apart.

The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires ( hence the fly-by-wire term ), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response.

Metal tips for FEM and FIM are prepared by electropolishing ( electrochemical polishing ) of thin wires.

Other methods of insulating high voltage systems are ceramic or glass wire holders, gas, vacuum, and simply placing the wires with a large separation, using the air as insulation.

Suspended wires for electric power transmission are bare, except where they enter buildings, and are insulated by the surrounding air.

The wires are suspended from a ' string ' of identical disc-shaped insulators which attach to each other with metal clevis pin or ball and socket links.

Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is the system of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections etc.

Prior to the advent of the microprocessor, a computer was usually built in a card-cage case or mainframe with components connected by a backplane consisting of a set of slots themselves connected with wires ; in very old designs the wires were discrete connections between card connector pins, but printed circuit boards soon became the standard practice.

These wires pass through holes drilled in the blades at suitable distances from the blade root and are usually brazed to the blades at the point where they pass through.

Electrical wires are usually covered with insulating materials, such as plastic, rubber-like polymers, or varnish.

The bond wires are not usually taut but loop upward slightly to allow slack for thermal expansion and contraction of the materials ; if a single bond wire breaks or detaches, the entire IC may become useless.

Cables usually bring a large number of drop wires from all over a district access network to one wire center or telephone exchange.

An E1 link operates over two separate sets of wires, usually coaxial cable.

Like most integrated circuits of the period 1965 – 1990, TTL devices were usually packaged in through-hole, dual in-line packages with between 14 and 24 lead wires, usually made of epoxy plastic ( PDIP ) or sometimes of ceramic ( CDIP ).

An unrelated use of the term is in industrial process control, where a " transmitter " is a telemetry device which converts measurements from a sensor into a signal, and sends it, usually via wires, to be received by some display or control device located a distance away.

Wire wrapping was used for splices and for finishing cable ends in suspension bridge wires and other wire rope rigging, usually with a smaller diameter wire wrapped around a larger wire or bundle of wires.

Long wires are usually placed first within a level, so that shorter wires will hold longer wires down.

Since it was quite easy to stack interconnections ( wires ) inside the embedding matrix, the approach allowed designers to forget completely about the routing of wires ( usually a time-consuming operation of PCB design ): Anywhere the designer needs a connection, the machine will draw a wire in straight line from one location / pin to another.

Jump wire material for ready-made or homemade wires should usually be 22 AWG ( 0. 33 mm² ) solid copper, tin-plated wire-assuming no tiny plugs are to be attached to the wire ends.

In that sense it is a simple monopole, but at the top of the mast extra wires are connected ( usually about six ) which slope downwards at an angle of 40-45 degrees as far as about one-third of the total height, where they are terminated in insulators and thence outwards to ground anchors.

The impressions in paper caused by the wires in the screen that run sideways are called " laid lines " and the impressions made, usually from top to bottom, by the wires holding the sideways wires together are called " chain lines ".

This linking was usually done by connecting some wires between modules and disconnecting others.

Wire removal is a visual effects technique used to remove wires in films, usually as a safety precaution or to simulate flying in actors or miniatures.

Normally the downward pull of the weights, and the reactive upward pull of the tensioned wires, lifts the pulley so its teeth are well clear of a stop on the mast.

These tablets used a magnetostriction technology which used wires made of a special alloy stretched over a solid substrate to accurately locate the tip of a stylus or the center of a digitizer cursor on the surface of the tablet.

The probe consists of two thermocouple wires mounted in a protective capillary tube body that is mounted ( typically threaded ) into the griddle plate material at a location near the center of the heating element being controlled.

A 36, 000-volt ignition coil, usually located at the front right of the engine, provided electrical power to the center of the distributor cap, where a spinning rotor divided the power to each of the individual cylinders ' spark plug wires.

Metal lathing was spaced across a 13. 5 inch center, attached by tie wires using lathers ' nippers.

A backplane reflector of small wires can just be seen left of center, most clearly at the bottom of the image.

A special symbol in the center indicates an electric railroad crossing, cautioning road users about excessive height cargo that may contact the electric wires.

Although Blaw-Knox built many kinds of towers, the term Blaw-Knox tower ( or radiator ) usually refers to the company's unusual " diamond cantilever " design, which is held upright by guy wires attached only at the vertical center of the mast, where its cross-section is widest.

Sometimes multiple parallel horizontal wires are used, connected together at the center wire.

To increase the top-load capacitance, several parallel horizontal wires are often used, connected together at the center where the vertical wire attaches.

Its flat roof was supported by tension wires from a single, illuminated column rising up through the shop's center ; glass windows and a door formed a box below the roof.

In this first match, bare steel wires, which were not secured in the center, were used above the ring, allowing them to bounce separately and causing the belt to tear off twice, requiring it to be reattached.
