  2. Hyfrecator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyfrecator

    The hyfrecator does not require a dispersive return pad, referred-to in the electrosurgery field as a "ground pad," or "patient plate," because the hyfrecator can pass a very low-powered current between forceps tips via bipolar output, or pass an A.C. current between one pointed metal electrode probe and the patient, with the patient's self ...

  3. Electrosurgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosurgery

    One example of such a machine is called a hyfrecator. This term began in 1940 as a Birtcher Corporation brand name Hyfrecator for "High Frequency Eradicator", but now serves generically to describe a general class of single-electrode, non-isolated (earth-referenced) low-powered electrosurgical machines intended mainly for office use. An ...

  4. Cast saw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_saw

    Elektrische Gipssäge, by Ortopedia, Kiel, Germany. A cast saw is an oscillating saw used to remove orthopedic casts.Instead of a rotating blade, cast saws use a sharp, small-toothed blade rapidly oscillating or vibrating back and forth over a minimal angle to cut material and are therefore not circular saws. [1]

  5. List of piezoelectric materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_piezoelectric_materials

    Relative permittivity (ε r) is the ratio between the absolute permittivity of the piezoelectric material, ε, and the vacuum permittivity, ε 0. The electromechanical coupling factor k is an indicator of the effectiveness with which a piezoelectric material converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, or converts mechanical energy into ...

  6. Glossary of firefighting equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_firefighting...

    A device made of rigid, heavy gauge wire and designed to fit through the space between double-swinging equipped with panic hardware. [9] Jet-Axe A Jet-Axe was a shaped charge of two to six ounces of RDX, and was used for forcible entry [10] and ventilation in the 1960s and 1970s. Jet siphon

  7. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    A definition of "matter" based on its physical and chemical structure is: matter is made up of atoms. [17] Such atomic matter is also sometimes termed ordinary matter. As an example, deoxyribonucleic acid molecules (DNA) are matter under this definition because they are made of atoms.

  8. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.

  9. Agitator (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agitator_(device)

    This is a device formed by a metallic bar (called the agitation bar) which is normally covered by a plastic layer, and a sheet that has underneath it a rotatory magnet or a series of electromagnets arranged in a circular form to create a magnetic rotatory field. Commonly, the sheet has an arrangement of electric resistances that can heat some ...
