Recycling centres use magnetic separation often to separate components from recycling, isolate metals, and purify ores. [1] Overhead magnets, magnetic pulleys, and the magnetic drums were the methods used in the recycling industry. [1] Magnetic separation is also useful in mining iron as it is attracted to a magnet. [3]
Ion separation is another application of magnetic separation. The separation is driven by the magnetic field that induces a separating force. The force differentiate then between heavy and lighter ions causing the separation. This phenomenon has been demonstrated on test bench and pilot scale. [1]
Drum memory was a magnetic data storage device invented by Gustav Tauschek in 1932 in Austria. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Drums were widely used in the 1950s and into the 1960s as computer memory . Many early computers, called drum computers or drum machines, used drum memory as the main working memory of the computer. [ 3 ]
FASTRAND was a magnetic drum mass storage system built by Sperry Rand Corporation (later Sperry Univac) for their UNIVAC 1100 series and 418/490/494 series computers. A FASTRAND subsystem consisted of one or two Control Units and up to eight FASTRAND units.
An eddy current separator (ECS) is a machine that uses a powerful magnetic field to separate non-ferrous metals from an input waste or ore stream. The device makes use of eddy currents to effect the separation. Non-ferrous metals typically separated by an ECS include aluminum, copper and die-cast metals. [1]
Dr. Lazorwitz sits on the scientific advisory board of a company called 3Daughters that is working on a new frameless, magnetic, nonhormonal IUD resembling three little beans, which self-assemble ...
Ohio State fans don’t want to hear this, because losing four in row to Michigan cuts deep, but it could be worse. You could do worse than Ryan Day.
The Mark III used nine magnetic drums (one of the first computers to do so). One drum could contain 4,000 instructions and has an access time of 4,400 microseconds; thus it was a stored-program computer. The arithmetic unit could access two other drums – one contained 150 words of constants and the other contained 200 words of variables.
