Charles Garrett, the founder of Garrett Metal Detectors, was another key figure in the creation of today's metal detectors. Garrett, an electrical engineer by profession, began metal detecting as a pastime in the early 1960s. He tried a number of machines on the market but couldn't find one that could do what he needed.

The suffix after the G indicates the pin spread; the G dates to the use of Glass for the original bulbs. GU usually also indicates that the lamp provides a mechanism for physical support by the luminaire: in some cases, each pin has a short section of larger diameter at the end (sometimes described as a "peg" rather than a "pin" [2]); the socket allows the bulb to lock into place by twisting ...

A beam of light reflected from the mirror falls on a graduated scale across the room, acting as a long mass-less pointer. The mirror galvanometer was used as the receiver in the first trans-Atlantic submarine telegraph cables in the 1850s, to detect the extremely faint pulses of current after their thousand-mile journey under the Atlantic.
The concept of a blinking cursor can be attributed to Charles Kiesling Sr. via US Patent 3531796, [6] [7] filed in August 1967. [ 8 ] Some interfaces use an underscore or thin vertical bar to indicate that the user is in insert mode , a mode where text will be inserted in the middle of the existing text, and a larger block to indicate that the ...
This separation of charge is microscopic, but since there are so many atoms, the tiny forces add up to a large enough force to move a light pith ball. The pith ball can be charged by touching it to a charged object, so some of the charges on the surface of the charged object move to the surface of the ball.
Schuko sockets can accept two-pin unearthed Europlug (CEE 7/16) and CEE 7/17. Less safely, Schuko plugs can be inserted into many two-pin unearthed CEE 7/1 sockets and into some sockets with a different form of earth connection that will not mate with the earth contacts on the Schuko plug (e.g., some variants of the Danish socket).
