Banshees are frequently described as dressed in white or grey, often having long, pale hair which they brush with a silver comb, a detail scholar Patricia Lysaght attributes to confusion with local mermaid myths.

Depending upon which format is used, this can result in far higher fidelity, particularly at strong color borders or regions of high detail ( especially if there is moderate movement in the picture ) and low-contrast details like skin tones, where comb filters almost inevitably smudge some detail.

A comb with teeth fine enough to remove nits is sometimes called a " fine-toothed comb ", as in the metaphoric usage " go over with a fine-toothed comb ", meaning ' search closely and in detail '.

One common practice ( not discussed above ) is to handle that divergence via Dirac delta and Dirac comb functions.

The explanation for overtaking on the left, although road traffic in Britain overtakes on the right, is that, unlike modern " comb " escalators, where the end of the moving stairway is at right angles to the direction of travel, older " shunt " escalators ended with a diagonal so that the stairway finished sooner for the right foot than for the left.

It has traditionally also been applied to other animals sharing a superficial resemblance, for example ctenophores ( members from another phylum of common, gelatinous and generally transparent or translucent, free-swimming planktonic carnivores now known as comb jellies ) were included as " jellyfishes ".

It is also known as Allodon (" different tooth ") and Ctenacodon (" comb tooth ").

The dead was also given several glass beakers, a tafl game, a comb and a hone.

In addition to the advanced comb filter, the HLD-X9 contains a red-laser pickup, which significantly reduces crosstalk and picture-noise levels compared to players with the traditional infrared laser ; it can also read through all but the worst cases of laser rot and surface wear.

It is also said to treat head lice when used in a hair rinse mixture, or on a fine comb to eliminate nits. One study suggests application of lavender essential oil instead of povidone-iodine for episiotomy wound care.

He also made a black hair oil dye and a curved-tooth iron comb in 1910, to straighten hair.

They can also be used to remove particulate matter from air streams by first charging the air, and then passing the charged stream through a comb of alternating polarity, to deposit the charged particles onto oppositely charged plates.
