  2. Hyfrecator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyfrecator

    The hyfrecator does not require a dispersive return pad, referred-to in the electrosurgery field as a "ground pad," or "patient plate," because the hyfrecator can pass a very low-powered current between forceps tips via bipolar output, or pass an A.C. current between one pointed metal electrode probe and the patient, with the patient's self ...

    Two subsequent Auermetalls were developed: the second also included lanthanum to produce brighter sparks, and the third added other heavy metals. A modern ferrocerium firesteel product is composed of an alloy of rare-earth metals called mischmetal , containing approximately 20.8% iron, 41.8% cerium, about 4.4% each of praseodymium , neodymium ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susceptor

    A "crisping sleeve" is a device made of paperboard and affixed with a susceptor used both as a rigid container to support the food items within and to focus heat on the foodstuff. [2] They are generally intended for a single use. [3] Hot Pockets were an example of a product which used crisping sleeves.

  6. Ladle (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladle_(metallurgy)

    For bottom pour ladles, a stopper rod is inserted into a tapping hole in the bottom of the ladle. To pour metal the stopper is raised vertically to allow the metal to flow out the bottom of the ladle. To stop pouring the stopper rod is inserted back into the drain hole. Large ladles in the steelmaking industry may use slide gates below the taphole.

  7. Electroforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroforming

    The main advantage of electroforming is that it accurately replicates the external shape of the mandrel. Generally, machining a cavity accurately is more challenging than machining a convex shape; however, the opposite holds true for electroforming because the mandrel's exterior can be accurately machined and then used to electroform a precision cavity.

  8. Thermopile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopile

    A thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy. [1] It is composed of several thermocouples connected usually in series or, less commonly, in parallel . Such a device works on the principle of the thermoelectric effect , i.e., generating a voltage when its dissimilar metals (thermocouples) are exposed ...
