  4. WokFi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WokFi

    The WokFi antenna is considered simpler and cheaper than other home-built antenna projects (such as the popular cantenna), but is a very effective method to boost the Wi-Fi connection quality, audit access point coverage, and even quickly establish WLAN viability – perhaps if a more professional setup is eventually intended.

  5. Wi-Fi over Coax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_over_Coax

    Wi-Fi over Coax is a technology for extending and distributing Wi-Fi signals via coaxial cables. As an in-building wireless solution, Wi-Fi over Coax can make use of existing or new cabling with native impedance of 50 Ω shared by a Wi-Fi access point , cabling run, and antenna.

  6. Barnacle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnacle

    Barnacle adults are sessile; most are suspension feeders with hard calcareous shells, but the Rhizocephala are specialized parasites of other crustaceans, with reduced bodies. Barnacles have existed since at least the mid-Carboniferous, some 325 million years ago. In folklore, barnacle geese were once held to emerge fully formed from goose ...

  7. Amphibalanus improvisus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibalanus_improvisus

    The anti-settling effect against the barnacle has been shown in vitro: [9] When the barnacle cyprid larva encounters a surface containing medetomidine the molecule interacts with the octopamine receptor in the larva. This causes the settling larva to increase its kicking to more than 100 kicks per minute, which makes becoming sessile nearly ...

  8. Dosima fascicularis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosima_fascicularis

    Group of buoy barnacles attached to a float they constructed themselves. The buoy barnacle (Dosima fascicularis) is a species of goose barnacle known for its unique characteristic of hanging downwards from a floating appendage which drifts at the water surface and is carried along by ocean currents.

  9. Platylepas ophiophila - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platylepas_ophiophila

    The barnacle adheres to the snake's skin, and has ribs that penetrate the snake's skin to make the attachment more secure. Nevertheless, the barnacle usually becomes detached when the snake sheds its skin. Barnacles breed by internal fertilisation, so individuals of this species have to be located adjacent to another individual in order to ...
