The batteries on the bugging device I had put on the car were still fresh enough to send out good strong signals.

His last group of operas, composed for Rome, exhibit a deeper poetic feeling, a broad and dignified style of melody, a strong dramatic sense, especially in accompanied recitatives, a device which he himself had been the first to use as early as 1686 ( Olimpia vendicata ) and a much more modern style of orchestration, the horns appearing for the first time, and being treated with striking effect.

Robert Graves in The Greek Myths ( 1955 ; 1960 ) asserts that the ægis in its Libyan sense had been a shamanic pouch containing various ritual objects, bearing the device of a monstrous serpent-haired visage with tusk-like teeth and a protruding tongue which was meant to frighten away the uninitiated.

Atlas Autocode's syntax was influenced by the output device which the author had available, a Friden Flexowriter.

( Similar principles had been used in an earlier burner design by Michael Faraday as well as in a device patented in 1856 by the gas engineer R W Elsner.

Whilst this had the advantage of being usable by untrained users via ' hunt and peck ' typing and requiring one less key switch than a conventional 12 button keypad, it had the disadvantage that some symbols required three times as much force to depress them as others which made it hard to achieve any speed with the device.

Conectiva's development team had expertise in, amongst others, the following areas: Linux kernel development, high availability, device drivers, XFree86, network protocols, firewalling, clustering, performance analysis and optimisation, filesystems and resource management.

The device allowed the coach to direct his quarterback on the fly, giving him an advantage over franchises who had to use messenger players to relay instructions.

This device had input and output circuits and was used to demonstrate its use as a shift register and as a crude eight pixel linear imaging device.

Fairchild's effort, led by ex-Bell researcher Gil Amelio, was the first with commercial devices, and by 1974 had a linear 500-element device and a 2-D 100 x 100 pixel device.

The letters are invented compositions to a fictitious correspondent, which are a device for vignettes of agricultural and rural life, set in Attica, though mellifluous Aelian once boasted that he had never been outside Italy, never been aboard a ship ( which is at variance, though, with his own statement, de Natura Animalium XI. 40, that he had seen the bull Serapis with his own eyes ).

Although Babbage's design was technically feasible, no one had built a mechanical device to such exacting standards before, so the engine proved to be much more expensive than anticipated.

Franz Schneider, a Swiss engineer, had patented such a device in Germany in 1913, but his original work was not followed up.

But still Frigg preferred the splendour of her own apparel to the divine honours of her husband, and submitted herself to the embraces of one of her servants ; and it was by this man's device she broke down the image, and turned to the service of her private wantonness that gold which had been devoted to public idolatry.

Japanese writing had long depended on Chinese ideograms ( kanji ), but these were now supplemented by kana, two types of phonetic Japanese script: katakana, a mnemonic device using parts of Chinese ideograms ; and hiragana, a cursive form of kanji writing and an art form in itself.

Gilbert had referred to the new technology in Pinafore in 1878, only two years after the device was invented and before London even had telephone service.

Still, much of the system had 16-bit code internally which required, among other things, device drivers to be 16-bit code also.

Unlike Hitler, who saw the Non-Aggression Pact as merely a pragmatic device forced on him by circumstances, namely the refusal of Britain or Poland to play the roles Hitler had allocated to them, Ribbentrop regarded the Non-Aggression Pact as integral to his anti-British policy.

The Wooden device also has north marked and had 32 arrow heads around the edge that may be the points of a compass.

In that apparently simple shift Porter opened the way to the sensitive use of the camera as an instrument of art as well as a mechanical recording device.

It is therefore essential to keep the raster scanning in the camera ( or other device for producing the signal ) in exact synchronization with the scanning in the television.

The Interrotron is a device similar to a teleprompter: Errol and his subject each sit facing a camera.

Alternatively, the image can be photographically recorded by exposing a photographic film or plate directly to the electron beam, or a high-resolution phosphor may be coupled by means of a lens optical system or a fibre optic light-guide to the sensor of a CCD ( charge-coupled device ) camera.

The SSI was an 800-by-800-pixel solid state camera consisting of an array of silicon sensors called a " charge coupled device " ( CCD ).

There are two types: ( 1 ) a telescopic rod lens system, that is usually connected to a video camera ( single chip or three chip ), or ( 2 ) a digital laparoscope where the charge-coupled device is placed at the end of the laparoscope, eliminating the rod lens system.

In 1981, Sony unveiled the first consumer camera to use a charge-coupled device for imaging, eliminating the need for film: the Sony Mavica.

The camera is the image-forming device, and photographic film or a silicon electronic image sensor is the sensing medium.

For example, there can be " printed pixels " in a page, or pixels carried by electronic signals, or represented by digital values, or pixels on a display device, or pixels in a digital camera ( photosensor elements ).

Physical examination of the nervous system is typically normal apart from the presence of papilledema, which is seen on examination of the eye with a small device called an ophthalmoscope or in more detail with a fundus camera.

In June 2005, Kurzweil introduced the " Kurzweil-National Federation of the Blind Reader " ( K-NFB Reader )— a pocket-sized device consisting of a digital camera and computer unit.

Halfway through the film the focus shifts, as the prototype is revealed to be a device for recording and translating brain impulses — a camera for the blind.

Criminal voyeurism statutes are related to invasion of privacy laws but are specific to unlawful surreptitious surveillance without consent and unlawful recordings including the broadcast, dissemination, publication, or selling of recordings involving places and times when a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a reasonable supposition they are not being photographed or filmed by " any mechanical, digital or electronic viewing device, camera or any other instrument capable of recording, storing or transmitting visual images that can be utilized to observe a person.

Although he made many contributions that were crucial to the early development of all-electronic television, he is perhaps best known for inventing the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device ( video camera tube ), the " image dissector ", the first fully functional and complete all-electronic television system, and for being the first person to demonstrate such a system to the public.

* A portable or personal storage device, small hard disks designed to copy digital photographs from a camera

A good example of this is the combination of an embedded web server running on an embedded device ( such as an IP camera ) or a network routers.

The camera obscura ( Latin ; camera for " vaulted chamber / room ", obscura for " dark ", together " darkened chamber / room "; plural: camera obscuras or camerae obscurae ) is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen.

As a more specific example, Canon developed an autofocusing camera that uses a charge-coupled device ( CCD ) to measure the clarity of the image in six regions of its field of view and use the information provided to determine if the image is in focus.

A camera is a device that records images that can be stored directly, transmitted to another location, or both.

Video and digital cameras use an electronic image sensor, usually a charge coupled device ( CCD ) or a CMOS sensor to capture images which can be transferred or stored in a memory card or other storage inside the camera for later playback or processing.

Steven Sasson as an engineer at Eastman Kodak invented and built the first digital camera using a charge-coupled device image sensor in 1975.
