The element is inserted in the discharge circuit in place of the exploding wire, and the calorimetric heating of the element is measured with high accuracy.

Several efforts were made in this direction, and though not all of them survive to this day, the Brown & Sharpe wire gage system was eventually adopted as the American standard and is still in common use today.

The direct evidence on the micrometeorite environment near the Earth is obtained from piezoelectric sensors ( essentially microphones ) and from wire gages ; ;

another reports that a cellular polypropylene, primarily for use in wire coating applications, is being investigated.

Usually this is a thin band of wire attached to the molars and stretching across the teeth.

Then comes the time when the last wire is removed and Susie walks out a healthier and more attractive girl than when she first went to the orthodontist.

Make sure that the metal tube through which the wire passes is in the shape of an inverted `` L '', the foot of the `` L '' about three inches long, so that the puppet can hang directly under the light.

The most important of these was the principle that came to be called Ampère ’ s law, which states that the mutual action of two lengths of current-carrying wire is proportional to their lengths and to the intensities of their currents.

Carryout Chinese food is typically served in a Oyster pail | paper carton with a wire bail.

The anode should be removed and checked after 5 years ( sooner if there is a sodium based water softner inline ), and replaced if 15 cm ( 6 inches ) or more of bare wire is showing.

Abatis is rarely seen nowadays, having been largely replaced by wire obstacles.

However, it may be used as a replacement or supplement when barbed wire is in short supply.

An important weakness of abatis, in contrast to barbed wire, is that it can be destroyed by fire.

A portable hand-held clamp-on ammeter is a common tool for maintenance of industrial and commercial electrical equipment, which is temporarily clipped over a wire to measure current.

As the electrical resistance of most metals is dependent upon the temperature of the metal ( tungsten is a popular choice for hot-wires ), a relationship can be obtained between the resistance of the wire and the flow speed.

Additionally, PWM ( pulse-width modulation ) anemometers are also used, wherein the velocity is inferred by the time length of a repeating pulse of current that brings the wire up to a specified resistance and then stops until a threshold " floor " is reached, at which time the pulse is sent again.

Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another or to cloth, usually by the use of a needle and thread or soft, flexible wire.

This is a system by which a steel or iron wire framework is built in the shape of a boat's hull and covered ( trowelled ) over with cement.

The Russian abacus, the schoty ( счёты ), usually has a single slanted deck, with ten beads on each wire ( except one wire which has four beads, for quarter-ruble fractions.

For easy viewing, the middle 2 beads on each wire ( the 5th and 6th bead ) usually are of a different colour from the other eight beads.

The trees are usually interlaced or tied with wire.

An electromagnetic coil ( or simply a " coil ") is formed when a conductor ( usually an insulated solid copper wire ) is wound around a core or form to create an inductor or electromagnet.

One loop of wire is usually referred to as a turn, and a coil consists of one or more turns.

The coil tap ( s ) are points in a wire coil where a conductive patch has been exposed ( usually on a loop of wire that extends out of the main coil body ).

The wire wrapping is gold or silver in many quality bows, and the hair is usually horsehair.

Depending on the fashion at the time of construction it is either a single standard carriageway road, usually wide, or a 2 + 1 road, a wide road with two lanes in one direction and one in the other with a steel wire barrier in between, or sometimes a motorway with two lanes in each direction.

The inductor is a conductor, usually a coil of wire, that stores energy in a magnetic field in response to the current through it.

An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or of ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material.

A knout () is a heavy scourge-like multiple whip, usually made of a bunch of rawhide thongs attached to a long handle, sometimes with metal wire or hooks incorporated.

Whilst these works were usually collages incorporating found objects, such as bus tickets, old wire and fragments of newsprint, Merz also included artist's periodicals, sculptures, sound poems and what would later be called " installations ".

The electric-outline model would be supplied by the overhead wire and the other model ( usually steam-outline ) would be supplied by one of the running rails.

Gabions are rectangular wire baskets, usually of zinc-protected steel ( galvanized steel ) that are filled with fractured stone of medium size.

A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal.

Although usually circular in cross-section, wire can be made in square or flattened rectangular cross-section, either for decorative purposes, or for technical purposes such as high-efficiency voice coils in loudspeakers.

* Magnet wire is solid wire, usually copper, which, to allow closer winding when making electromagnetic coils, is insulated only with varnish, rather than the thicker plastic or other insulation commonly used on electrical wire.

In the U. S. the term wool is usually restricted to describing the fibrous protein derived from the specialized skin cells called follicles in sheep, although in the U. K. it may be used of any long curling fiber such as wood wool, wire wool, etc.

A nozzle releases a puff of gas ( usually ammonia or argon ) which spreads across a flat induction coil of wire about 1 meter across.

The individual magnetic field of adjacent turns induces eddy currents in the wire of the coil, which causes the current in the conductor to be concentrated in a thin strip on the side near the adjacent wire.

Variations on this basic formula describe the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire ( sometimes called Laplace force ), the electromotive force in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field ( an aspect of Faraday's law of induction ), and the force on a particle which might be traveling near the speed of light ( relativistic form of the Lorentz force ).

The severely damaged vessel collides with a strand of shadow-square wire and crash-lands on the Ringworld near a huge mountain.

Reaching the wreck, Louis threads the shadow wire through the crashed ship and uses it to tether the ship to the police station, and then continues to pull the wire onward, up to the summit of " Fist-of-God ", the enormous mountain near their crash site.

The first telegram in the United States was sent by Morse on 11 January 1838, across two miles ( 3 km ) of wire at Speedwell Ironworks near Morristown, New Jersey.

At high frequencies, current travels near the surface of the wire because of the skin effect, resulting in increased power loss in the wire.

During the First World War, screw pickets were used for the installation of wire obstacles ; these were metal rods with eyelets for holding strands of wire, and a corkscrew-like end that could literally be screwed into the ground rather than hammered, so that wiring parties could work at night near enemy soldiers and not reveal their position by the sound of hammers.

Coastal troop deployments, comprising five companies of infantry, were concentrated mostly at 15 strongpoints called Widerstandsnester (" resistance nests "), numbered WN-60 in the east to WN-74 near Vierville in the west, located primarily around the entrances to the draws and protected by minefields and wire.

The wire goes in the one near the edge, and the post is inserted into the hole in the center

The wire and of insulated wire are placed in a hole near the edge of the tool.

Numerous individuals of the snail Cernuella virgata aestivating on a wire fence near Glanum, in the south of France.

Shortly past 1 a. m. on February 6, 1951, Argonne guards discovered reporter Paul Harvey near the perimeter fence, his coat tangled in the barbed wire.

The system was transported over many media other than underground cable, including microwave, open wire and, near the end of the system's life, fiber optic.

A hole is drilled near the base to enable glass beads and other ornaments to be attached by a loop of wire.

Police officers guarding a barbed wire perimeter around Eden Park near Kingsland Train Station.

On modern yachts, standing rigging is often stainless steel wire, stainless steel rod or synthetic fiber. Semi rigid stainless steel wire is by far the most common as it combines extreme strength, relative ease of assembling and rigging with reliability. Unlike rigid stainless steel rod, it is comparatively easy to recognise wear and stress as individual strains ( normally 18 ) break often near a swage fitting, and can be inspected while standing.
