[15] Beverly Cleary Hall, completed in 1992, [2] is located across Channing Way and is part of the unit. The unit's main dining facility, Cafe ...
The first use of corona discharge to remove particles from an aerosol was by Hohlfeld in 1824. [2] However, it was not commercialized until almost a century later. In 1907 Frederick Gardner Cottrell, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, applied for a patent on a device for charging particles and then collecting them through electrostatic attraction—the first ...
Ultimately, Units 1, 2, and 3 were completed in the 1960s, providing housing for up to 3,100 undergraduates; the architect was John Carl Warnecke with landscape design by Lawrence Halprin. Each unit as completed had four nine-story concrete towers surrounding a two-story building with a dining hall and common facilities.

Conversion of per-unit quantities to volts, ohms, or amperes requires a knowledge of the base that the per-unit quantities were referenced to. The per-unit system is used in power flow, short circuit evaluation, motor starting studies etc. The main idea of a per unit system is to absorb large differences in absolute values into base relationships.
