  2. Rope splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_splicing

    A cut splice is a join between two ropes, made by side splicing the ends slightly apart, to make an eye in the joined rope which lies shut when the rope is taut. Its original name was bowdlerised to "cut splice". A line eye-spliced to a snap shackle. Eye splice – A splice where the working end is spliced into the working part forming a loop.

  3. Western Union splice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_union_splice

    Figure parts A–D show steps in forming a "short tie" Western Union splice. Figure parts E and F show two possible "long tie" variations. [2]The Western Union splice or Lineman splice is a method of joining electrical cable, developed in the nineteenth century during the introduction of the telegraph and named for the Western Union telegraph company.

  4. Eye splice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_splice

    Eye splice. The eye splice is a method of creating a permanent loop (an "eye") in the end of a rope by means of rope splicing. The Flemish eye is a type of circular loop at the end of a thread. There are several techniques of creating the eye with its knot tied back to the line, rope or wire. [3][4]

  5. RNA splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing

    The major spliceosome splices introns containing GU at the 5' splice site and AG at the 3' splice site. It is composed of the U1 , U2 , U4 , U5 , and U6 snRNPs and is active in the nucleus. In addition, a number of proteins including U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF35), U2AF2 (U2AF65) [ 10 ] and SF1 are required for the assembly of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fid

    Typically, all splice directions measurements use fid-length as the unit of measurement. Below is a chart that shows exact measurements of full fid lengths, short fid lengths, and long fid lengths, using 21 times the diameter of the rope.

  7. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

    Splice or butt connectors (primarily insulation displacement connectors) that permanently join two lengths of wire or cable. In computing, electrical connectors are considered a physical interface and constitute part of the physical layer in the OSI model of networking.

  8. Splice the mainbrace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_the_mainbrace

    "Splice the mainbrace" is an order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with an alcoholic drink. Originally an order for one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs aboard a sailing ship , it became a euphemism for authorized celebratory drinking afterward, and then the name of an order to grant the crew an extra ration of rum or grog .

  9. Fusion splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_splicing

    Fusion splicing. Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the intact fiber.
