Community esprit de corps has been the protective shell which has made the achievement possible.

Scholars made numbered sets of as many things as possible in Nature, or assigned arbitrary numbers to individual things, in a fashion that seems to the modern scientific mind as downright nonsensical, and philosophical ideas based upon all this tended to stifle speculative thought in China for many centuries.

The passage of the Homestead Act and the Pacific Railway Acts was made possible by the absence of Southern congressmen and senators who had opposed the measures in the 1850s.

Aristotle not only studied almost every subject possible at the time, but made significant contributions to most of them.

Such units were made with ratings up to hundreds of kilowatts, and were important in the development of HVDC power transmission.

Where a distinction is made, usually outside of the United States, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with systems such as power transmission and electrical machines, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.

Nikola Tesla made long-distance electrical transmission networks possible.

Insulators used for high-voltage power transmission are made from glass, porcelain or composite polymer materials.

FireWire's high data bandwidth made it not only a suitable transmission medium for MIDI data, but also a replacement for the SCSI and IDE hard drive buses and ADAT Optical Interface audio transmission.

MIDI interfaces intended for use as the centerpiece of a studio, such as the Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Time Piece, were made possible by a " fast " transmission mode that could take advantage of these serial ports ' ability to operate at 20 times the standard MIDI speed.

Having the engine, transmission, catalytic converter ( s ) and exhaust all cramped into a small rear engine bay made emission and noise control more difficult, something Porsche was already facing problems with on the 911 and wanted to avoid.

In 1900, Reginald Fessenden made a weak transmission of voice over the airwaves.

It has the disadvantage of losing the more compact, byte-stream-based encoding, but by this point larger storage and transmission capacities made file size less of a concern than in the early days of computing.

Some important developments in television satellite transmission were made at Goonhilly station.

Double-clutching allows the driver to control the engine and transmission revolutions to synchronize, so that a smooth shift can be made ; for example, when upshifting, the accelerator pedal is released and the clutch pedal is depressed while the gear lever is moved into neutral, the clutch pedal is then released and quickly pushed down again while the gear lever is moved to the next higher gear.

Its high capacity ( transmitting 240 telephone calls simultaneously ) also made it ideal for long-distance television transmission, where it could handle a frequency band of 1 megahertz.
