  2. Halbach array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbach_array

    If the two-dimensional magnetic distribution patterns of the Halbach cylinder are extended to three dimensions, the result is the Halbach sphere. These designs have an extremely uniform field within the interior of the design, as they are not affected by the "end effects" prevalent in the finite-length cylinder design.

  3. Fusible link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_link

    A mechanical fusible link is a device consisting of two strips of metal soldered together with a fusible alloy that is designed to melt at a specific temperature, thus allowing the two pieces to separate. Mechanical fusible links are utilized as the triggering device in fire sprinkler systems and mechanical automatic door release mechanisms ...

  4. Drilling stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_stabilizer

    Integral drilling stabilizer with tungsten carbide bricks (TCB) hardfacing. A drilling stabilizer is a piece of downhole equipment used in the bottom hole assembly (BHA) of a drill string. It mechanically stabilizes the BHA in the borehole in order to avoid unintentional sidetracking, vibrations, and ensure the quality of the hole being drilled.

  5. Distribution board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

    A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.

  6. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    A thermal fuse is a cutoff which uses a one-time fusible link. Unlike a thermal switch which may automatically reset itself when the temperature drops, the thermal fuse is more like an electrical fuse : a single-use device that cannot be reset and must be replaced when it fails or is triggered.

  7. Rope-burning puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-burning_puzzle

    A common and simple version of this problem asks to measure a time of 45 seconds using only two fuses that each burn for a minute. The assumptions of the problem are usually specified in a way that prevents measuring out 3/4 of the length of one fuse and burning it end-to-end, for instance by stating that the fuses burn unevenly along their length.

    these two powers possessing the lion’s share of the world’s nuclear weapons would also work together to bring all the nuclear weapons countries to the negotiating table for the first in history multilateral negotiations to limit nuclear arms. These illustrative next steps are possible and desirable for five basic reasons. First, mutual

  9. Ring main unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_main_unit

    It includes in one unit two switches that can connect the load to either or both main conductors, and a fusible switch or circuit breaker and switch that feed a distribution transformer. [1] The metal enclosed unit connects to the transformer either through a bus throat of standardized dimensions, or else through cables and is usually installed ...
