An (orange-epoxy) encapsulated hybrid circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB).. A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC), hybrid microcircuit, hybrid circuit or simply hybrid is a miniaturized electronic circuit constructed of individual devices, such as semiconductor devices (e.g. transistors, diodes or monolithic ICs) and passive components (e.g. resistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors ...
A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating .
Monolithic microwave integrated circuit, or MMIC (sometimes pronounced "mimic"), is a type of integrated circuit (IC) device that operates at microwave frequencies (300 MHz to 300 GHz). These devices typically perform functions such as microwave mixing , power amplification, low-noise amplification , and high-frequency switching.
Microwaves are used in spacecraft communication, and much of the world's data, TV, and telephone communications are transmitted long distances by microwaves between ground stations and communications satellites. Microwaves are also employed in microwave ovens and in radar technology.
Microwave volumetric heating (MVH) overcomes the uneven absorption by applying an intense, uniform microwave field. Different compounds convert microwave radiation to heat by different amounts. This selectivity allows some parts of the object being heated to heat more quickly or more slowly than others (particularly the reaction vessel).
The market of hybrid electric vehicles in the United States is the second largest in the world after Japan [5] with cumulative sales of 5.4 million units through December 2019. [21] American sales of hybrid electric vehicles represented about 36% of the stock of hybrids sold worldwide through April 2016. [5]
In hybrid operation (charge-sustaining mode), the Energi has a combined fuel economy of 38 mpg ‑US (6.2 L/100 km; 46 mpg ‑imp). [6] The Fusion Hybrid won the 2010 North American Car of the Year Award, [7] and the entire 2013 Ford Fusion line-up, including the Fusion hybrid and plug-in variants, won the 2013 Green Car of the Year.

Introduced in 1978, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a stainless steel version of the Model 29. The 629 model designation derives from Smith & Wesson's practice of denoting a stainless steel version of one of their already existing designs by placing a 6 in front of the model number of the original weapon. The 629 Classic variant features a full ...
