  2. Push-button telephone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-button_telephone

    A push-button telephone is a telephone that has buttons or keys for dialing a telephone number, in contrast to a rotary dial used in earlier telephones.. Western Electric experimented as early as 1941 with methods of using mechanically activated reeds to produce two tones for each of the ten digits and by the late 1940s such technology was field-tested in a No. 5 Crossbar switching system in ...

  3. Flex Ltd. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_Ltd.

    [10] In 2014, Flextronics was named as the manufacturer of the Fitbit Force by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission in the context of a complete recall of the product due to rashes developing on the wrists of its users. [11] In July 2015 the company announced it changed the company name from Flextronics to Flex. [12]

  4. Aluminium-26 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-26

    Clear evidence of the presence of 26 Al at an abundance ratio of 5×10 −5 was shown by Lee et al. [18] [19] The value (26 Al/ 27 Al ~ 5 × 10 −5) has now been generally established as the high value in early Solar System samples and has been generally used as a refined time scale chronometer for the early Solar System. Lower values imply a ...

  5. Even and odd atomic nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_atomic_nuclei

    Only five stable nuclides contain both an odd number of protons and an odd number of neutrons. The first four "odd–odd" nuclides occur in low mass nuclides, for which changing a proton to a neutron or vice versa would lead to a very lopsided proton–neutron ratio (2 1 H, 6 3 Li, 10 5 B, and 14 7 N; spins 1, 1, 3, 1).

  6. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The stable nuclide 206 Pb has Z = 82 and N = 124, for example. For this reason, the valley of stability does not follow the line Z = N for A larger than 40 (Z = 20 is the element calcium). [3] Neutron number increases along the line of beta stability at a faster rate than atomic number.

  7. Mass number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_number

    For example, uranium-238 usually decays by alpha decay, where the nucleus loses two neutrons and two protons in the form of an alpha particle. Thus the atomic number and the number of neutrons each decrease by 2 ( Z : 92 → 90, N : 146 → 144), so that the mass number decreases by 4 ( A = 238 → 234); the result is an atom of thorium-234 and ...

  8. Nickel-62 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel-62

    Nickel-62 is an isotope of nickel having 28 protons and 34 neutrons.. It is a stable isotope, with the highest binding energy per nucleon of any known nuclide (8.7945 MeV). [1] [2] It is often stated that 56 Fe is the "most stable nucleus", but only because 56 Fe has the lowest mass per nucleon (not binding energy per nucleon) of all nuclides.

  9. T9 (predictive text) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T9_(predictive_text)

    Keypad used by T9. T9's objective is to make it easier to enter text messages.It allows words to be formed by a single keypress for each letter, which is an improvement over the multi-tap approach used in conventional mobile phone text entry at the time, in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses.
