    Perhaps you are one of the fortunate few who have a washer and dryer in your own apartment. You no longer find yourself shlepping pounds of dirty clothes down flights of stairs to the nearest ...

  3. Power-line flicker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_flicker

    Power-line flicker is a visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply. The voltage drop is generated over the source impedance of the grid by the changing load current of an equipment or facility. These fluctuations in time generate flicker.

  4. Flicker (screen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    The flicker of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as eye strain, headaches [9] in migraine sufferers, and seizures in epileptics. [10]As the flicker is most clearly seen at the edge of our vision there is no obvious risk in using a CRT, but prolonged use can cause a sort of retinal shock where the flickering is seen even when looking away from the monitor.

  5. Washing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washing_machine

    Since the agitator and the drum are separate and distinct in a top-loading washing machine, the mechanism of a top-loader is inherently more complicated than a front-loading machine. Manufacturers have devised several ways to control the motion of the agitator during the wash and rinse separately from the high-speed rotation of the drum ...

  6. Flicker (light) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(light)

    In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.

  7. Stack light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_light

    Stack light in automated production for in-line quality inspection. Stack lights (also known as signal tower lights, indicator lights, andon lights, warning lights, industrial signal lights, or tower lights) are commonly used on equipment in industrial manufacturing and process control environments to provide visual and audible indicators of a machine's status to machine operators, technicians ...

  8. Wig wag (washing machines) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wig_wag_(washing_machines)

    A vertical-axis washing machine has two mechanisms: a central agitator for washing and a drum for spinning, both driven by the same motor and controlled independently by clutches to the belt drive. The wig-wag is mounted atop the washing machine's transmission, where it oscillates back and forth like a railroad signaling wigwag (hence the name ...

  9. Washer-dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washer-dryer

    Stackable machines, on the other hand, are defined by two separate machines: a washer and a dryer, stacked on top of one another. These stackable machines are often a good choice for large families that still need the full capacity and functionality of a washer and dryer without having to compromise too much regarding space.
