  2. Fluorescence intermittency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_intermittency

    Fluorescence intermittency, or blinking, is the phenomenon of random switching between ON (bright) and OFF (dark) states of the emitter under its continuous excitation.It is a common property of the nanoscale emitters (molecular fluorophores, colloidal quantum dots) related to the competition between the radiative and non-radiative relaxation pathways.

  3. Pilot light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

    An alternative to the pilot light is a system to create a high voltage electrical arc or spark between two electrodes, in order to light the gas flowing to the burner. Fail-safe design for such a system requires the burner flame to be detected by passing an electric current through the flame, which is received by the flame rectification circuit ...

    The hoses are color-coded for visual identification. The color of the hoses varies between countries. In the United States, the oxygen hose is green and the fuel hose is red. [6] In the UK and other countries, the oxygen hose is blue (black hoses may still be found on old equipment), and the acetylene (fuel) hose is red. [7]

  5. Centennial Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Light

    Its continuous operation has largely eliminated the stresses associated with turning a light bulb on and off, the act of which causes the temperature of the bulb to increase and decrease. The bulb was made by hand, using a carbon filament (of greater thickness and strength than the tungsten filaments used in most modern lightbulbs) along with ...

    Furnace Green is one of 14 neighbourhoods in Crawley in West Sussex, England, and a local government ward.Furnace Green is located to the east of the town centre. It is bordered by Tilgate to the south west, Three Bridges to the north and Maidenbower to the east (on the other side of the London-Brighton railway line and linked by two pedestrian tunnels).

  7. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which provides heats of reaction.

  8. Automatic Warning System - Wikipedia

    A colour light signal displaying a double yellow (steady or flashing), single yellow or red aspect; A reduction in permissible speed; A temporary or emergency speed restriction; An automatic barrier crossing locally monitored (ABCL), an automatic open crossing locally monitored (AOCL), or an open crossing (OC).

  9. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the capture of latent heat from the exhaust gases in the secondary heat exchanger.
