A susceptor is a material used for its ability to absorb electromagnetic energy and convert it to heat (which in some cases is re-emitted as infrared thermal radiation). The electromagnetic energy is typically radiofrequency or microwave radiation used in industrial heating processes.
The adverb sic, meaning 'intentionally so written', first appeared in English c. 1856. [4] It is derived from the Latin adverb sīc , which means 'so', 'thus', 'in this manner'. [ 5 ] According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the verbal form of sic , meaning 'to mark with a sic' , emerged in 1889, E. Belfort Bax 's work in The Ethics of ...
The term was coined by C.P. Steinmetz in a 1894 paper. [1]In some sources Oliver Heaviside is given credit for coining the term, [2] or with introducing the concept under the name permittance. [3]
sic et non: thus and not: More simply, "yes and no". sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc: we gladly feast on those who would subdue us: Mock-Latin motto of The Addams Family. sic infit: so it begins: sic itur ad astra: thus you shall go to the stars: From Virgil, Aeneid book IX, line 641. Possibly the source of the ad astra phrases.
The first limitation surrounds its definition and mistaken classification of employee groups. For example, administrative assistants in the automotive industry support all levels of the business, yet the SIC defines these employees as part of the "Basic Sector" of manufacturing jobs when they should be reported as "Non-Basic." Secondly, SIC ...
Pure silicon carbide can be made by the Lely process, [20] in which SiC powder is sublimed into high-temperature species of silicon, carbon, silicon dicarbide (SiC 2), and disilicon carbide (Si 2 C) in an argon gas ambient at 2,500 °C and redeposited into flake-like single crystals, [21] sized up to 2 × 2 cm, at a slightly colder substrate ...
The XE expansion of SIC adds a 48-bit floating point data type, an additional memory addressing mode, and extra memory (1 megabyte instead of 32,768 bytes) to the original machine. All SIC assembly code is upwards compatible with SIC/XE. SIC machines have several registers, each 24 bits long and having both a numeric and character representation:
It has the chemical formula SiC and is a rare mineral, discovered by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893. Silicon carbide or moissanite is useful for commercial and industrial applications due to its hardness , optical properties and thermal conductivity .
