  2. Trap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(plumbing)

    In the United States, traps are commonly referred to as P-traps. It is the addition of a 90 degree fitting on the outlet side of a U-bend, thereby creating a P-like shape (oriented horizontally). It is also referred to as a sink trap because it is installed under most sinks. Because of its shape, the trap retains some water after the fixture's use.

  3. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    In the near-infrared range liquid water has absorption bands around 1950 nm (5128 cm −1), 1450 nm (6896 cm −1), 1200 nm (8333 cm −1) and 970 nm, (10300 cm −1). [ 19 ] [ 20 ] [ 15 ] The regions between these bands can be used in near-infrared spectroscopy to measure the spectra of aqueous solutions, with the advantage that glass is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    Periods of extreme rainfall – walls that are normally thick enough to prevent rainfall from reaching the inner face can be overwhelmed during periods of heavy, persistent rainfall Modifications to a building involving impermeable materials can also exacerbate the symptoms of rain penetration by trapping moisture.

  5. Buchan trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchan_trap

    A Buchan trap (alternative names: Bristol interceptor, [1] interceptor trap and disconnecting trap) is a device fitted in a domestic sewer pipe to prevent odours entering the pipe from the public sewer [2] and permeating the house, a common problem before individual plumbing fittings were separately trapped.

  8. Optical stretcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_stretcher

    Laser power used for trapping the cell is 100 mW, for stretching 1200 mW per fibre. Phase contrast images, 63× objective; scale bar is 10 μm. The trapping of micrometre-sized particles by two laser beams was first demonstrated by Arthur Ashkin in 1970, [1] before he developed the single-beam trap now known as optical tweezers. An advantage of ...

  9. Hydrodynamic trapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_trapping

    Hydrodynamic traps are able to confine small nanoparticles. This is because the hydrodynamic trapping force is closely related to radius of a particle, whereas alternate trapping methods are more closely related to volume of a particle. These traps are stable and they allow for precise control of environmental factors.
