Illustration of the Atwood machine, 1905. The Atwood machine (or Atwood's machine) was invented in 1784 by the English mathematician George Atwood as a laboratory experiment to verify the mechanical laws of motion with constant acceleration. Atwood's machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of classical mechanics.
A pedestal sump pump with a float switch. A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float. Another common type is a float that ...
In 1924, the company moved to a new $2 million plant at 4745 Wissahickon Avenue in North Philadelphia. This plant, constructed in sections, would eventually cover 32 acres (13 ha). In 1925, the Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company became the largest maker of radios in the United States.
Eight switches offer 256 (2 8) combinations, which is equivalent to one byte. A tri-state type DIP switch can be in one of three positions (+, 0, −) which allows more codes than a binary DIP switch. For example, 8 pole tri-state DIP switches offer 6,561 (3 8) combinations/codes compared to 8 pole binary switches' 256 (2 8) combinations/codes ...
Atwood number is an important parameter in the study of Rayleigh–Taylor instability and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability. In Rayleigh–Taylor instability, the penetration distance of heavy fluid bubbles into the light fluid is a function of acceleration time scale A g t 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {A} gt^{2}} where g {\displaystyle g} is the ...
A cross-section of a floating-gate transistor. An FGMOS can be fabricated by electrically isolating the gate of a standard MOS transistor [clarification needed], so that there are no resistive connections to its gate.
