While the spinner is making new yarn, the bobbin and the flyer turn in unison, but when the spinner wants to wind the yarn onto the bobbin, the bobbin or the flyer slows down and thus the yarn winds on.

While most thunderstorms move with the mean wind flow through the layer of the troposphere that they occupy, vertical wind shear causes a deviation in their course at a right angle to the wind shear direction.

While the wind is a summer condition ( hot inland, cool oceanside ), winter weather is right in line with the rest of sea level Northern California ( mild with occasional rain ).

While brigs could not sail into the wind as easily as fore and aft rigged vessels such as schooners, a trait that is common to all square-rigged ships, a skilled brig captain could " manoeuvre it with ease and elegance ; a brig could for instance turn around almost on the spot ".

While windsurfing is possible under a wide range of wind conditions, most recreational windsurfers prefer to sail in conditions that allow for consistent planing with multi-purpose, not overly specialized, free-ride equipment.

While working at Borgward Focke set up a wind tunnel in a disused hangar in central Bremen ; this wind tunnel was rediscovered in 1997 and is today the centerpiece of a museum devoted to him.

While not all severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes, they can produce serious straight line wind damage as severe as a tornado ( and can actually cover a much wider area than a tornado ).

While " reading the wind " -- anticipating shot deflection caused by varying wind speed and direction -- is the same problem faced by competitors using conventional benchrest rifles, return-to-battery rifles do, in fact, generally place higher than the " bag guns " ( rifles shot off sandbags, which have to be consciously aimed for each shot ).

While waiting to board their plane, they watch as the suitcase falls off a cart, breaks open and the loose banknotes are swept away by the wind.

While the stellar wind from a red supergiant is dense and slow, the wind from a blue supergiant is fast but sparse.

While accounts of the progress of the tsunami came in from various points in the Pacific ( Midway reported it was covered with nine feet of water ), the Hawaiian station made its calculations and notified the military services and the police that the first big wave would arrive at Honolulu at 23:30 Greenwich time.

While they are travelling, the distance between successive wave fronts is reduced ; so the waves " bunch together ".

The EPR paper ends by saying: While we have thus shown that the wave function does not provide a complete description of the physical reality, we left open the question of whether or not such a description exists.

While Interpol distracts Titanosaurus with the supersonic wave oscillator, Godzilla is able to focus on attacking Mechagodzilla.

While there, the Maquis ship and Voyager were transported against their will into the Delta Quadrant, 70, 000 light-years away, by a massive displacement wave.

While this wave of skateboarding was sparked by commercialized vert ramp skating, a majority of people who skateboarded during this period didn't ride vert ramps.

While the 19th century had seen the success of the wave theory at describing light, it had also witnessed the rise of the atomic theory at describing matter.

While the results were not surprising since gravity was known to act on everything, including light ( see tests of general relativity and the Pound-Rebka falling photon experiment ), the self-interference of the quantum mechanical wave of a massive fermion in a gravitational field had never been experimentally confirmed before.

While the complex form has an imaginary component, after the necessary calculations are performed in the complex plane, its real value can be extracted giving a real valued equation representing an actual plane wave.

While not purely a hardware synth, the DS-XG sound cards based on the Yamaha YMF-7 # 4 family of audio chipsets ( including 724, 744, 754, and 764 ), including the Yamaha WaveForce 192 ( SW192XG ) as well as many from other manufacturers and even some PC motherboards with such an audio chipset, included hardware-assisted software VL physical modelling ( like a VL70m or PLG-VL, and compatible with same ) along with the Yamaha XG, wave audio, and 3D gaming sound capabilities of the chipset.

While these result in some contradictions and lack completeness in a mathematical sense ( being based on axioms that are " merely " self-evident, but not robust under the stresses of radical scepticism ), the paradoxes can nonetheless be analysed rationally using the subatomic applications of quantum cosmology-particularly through the employment of the Schrödinger wave equations.

While capable of inflicting severe to catastrophic burns and causing secondary fires, thermal wave effects are considered very limited in range compared to shock and fragmentation.

Vice President Gerald Ford said, " While it may be easy to delete characterization from the printed page, we cannot delete characterization from people's minds with a wave of the hand.

While the Comanche managed to maintain their independence and increase their territory, by the mid-19th century they faced annihilation because of a wave of epidemics due to Eurasian diseases to which they had no immunity, such as smallpox and measles.

While normal modes are wave-like phenomena in classical mechanics, they have particle-like properties due to the wave – particle duality of quantum mechanics.

While there is general disagreement about precise origin of the wave, most stories of the phenomenon's origin, suggest that the wave first started appearing at North American sporting events during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

While the exact origins of the wave may be in dispute, Seattle was the first place to routinely perform it.

While there, Gold attracted some controversy by suggesting that the interaction between charged particles from the Sun with the Earth's magnetic field in creating magnetic storms in the upper atmosphere was an example of a collisionless shock wave.

" While just paddling out in a Waikiki tide pool, a little four-inch wave broke the nose off.

While this action may have been intended to counter views such as the above by demonstrating a corrective ability, it resulted in a wave of unfavorable publicity.

While the surf only breaks big several times a year, Waimea was the most prestigious big wave surf break in the world for decades.

While earlier Jewish elements from Germany were business oriented and voted as conservative Republicans, the wave of Eastern European Jews starting in the 1880s, were more liberal or left wing and became the political majority.
