High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Cap gun or cap pistol is a toy gun that creates a loud sound akin to a gunshot and a puff of smoke when the trigger is pulled. Cap guns were originally made of cast iron, but after World War II were made of zinc alloy, and most newer models are made of plastic. Cap guns get their name from the small discs of explosive compounds that provide the noise and smoke, effectively the same as the separate percussion cap used to replace the flintlock in real firearms, although invariably smaller and made from cheap plastic or paper rather than soft metal. Some are arranged in plastic rings of eight or twelve. There are also single caps, roll caps, and disk caps, all of which were actually extremely...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Capacitive sensing is a technology for detecting proximity, position, etc., based on capacitive coupling effects. Capacitive sensing as a human interface device (HID) technology, for example to replace the computer mouse, is becoming increasingly popular. Capacitive sensors can be recognized in many popular consumer products such as laptop trackpads, MP3 players, computer monitors and cell phones, but it is certainly not limited to these applications. More and more engineers choose capacitive sensors for their flexibility, unique human-device interface and cost reduction over mechanical switches. Capacitive touch sensors have become a predominant feature in a large number of mobile devices and...

Self-monitoring of blood glucose has become an important and critical tool for effective management of patients with diabetes. This book describes multiple MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) sensor architectures that can continuously measure, in real time, the concentration of glucose in a solution. The devices incorporate a glucose- sensitive hydrogel membrane, which swells reversibly in the presence of a glucose containing solution. The MEMS architecture transforms the resultant swelling of the hydrogel membrane into the displacement of a capacitor plate. Signal transduction arises directly from motion of one capacitor plate with respect to the other fixed plate, resulting in a change in capacitance. Hence the presence or variation...

Digital communication using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless links has recently emerged as one of the most significant technical breakthroughs in modern communications. This work presents an overview of some important theoretical concepts of MIMO systems. After describing the basic ideas of MIMO transmissions, information theoretical concepts like the system capacity and the mutual information for finite symbol alphabets of some prominent MIMO space-time designs are investigated. An evaluation of the error performance of these designs then leads to a more complete understanding of MIMO system parameters. Finally, the derived system capacity and the error performance is related to the framework of the diversity-multiplexing...

Seismic design procedures in current building provisions are based on linear and nonlinear static approaches that use capacity-demand index relationships such as the relationship between the lateral strength and the maximum lateral displacement. Previous research on the development of these relationships is based on linear-elastic ground motion acceleration response spectra, whereas the current design procedures are based on “smooth” design response spectra. For the design procedures to be consistent, new capacity-demand index relationships are proposed based on smooth design response spectra from existing design provisions. This book provides procedures that utilize these capacity-demand index relationships for the purpose of...

A car bomb is an improvised explosive device placed in a car or other vehicle and then detonated. It is commonly used as a weapon of assassination, terrorism, or guerrilla warfare, to kill the occupants of the vehicle, people near the blast site, or to damage buildings or other property. Car bombs act as their own delivery mechanisms and can carry a relatively large amount of explosives without attracting suspicion; in larger vehicles, weights of up to 1000 pounds (450 kg) have been seen. Car bombs are activated in a large variety of ways; including opening the vehicle's doors, starting the engine, or depressing the accelerator or brake pedals. The U.S. military and law enforcement agencies often call a car bomb a "VBIED", an acronym...

A car shuttle train, or car-carrying train, is a train used to transport accompanied cars, or automobiles, and usually also other types of road vehicles, for a relatively short distance. Car shuttle trains usually operate on lines passing through a rail tunnel and connecting two places not easily accessible to each other by road. On car shuttle train services, the occupants of the road vehicles being carried on the train usually stay with their vehicle throughout the rail journey. As such, car shuttle train services are to be contrasted with Auto Train or Motorail services. Unlike a car shuttle train, an Auto Train or Motorail train is a passenger train on which, except in France, passengers...

The Colt Automatic Rifle-15 Military Weapons System or CAR-15 was a family of AR-15 and M16 rifle–based firearms marketed by Colt in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Due to their compact size, the short-barreled Colt Commando and XM177 versions of this family continued to be issued to the U.S. military after the Vietnam War. The CAR-15 name was an attempt to re-associate the AR-15 name with Colt, since the AR initially stood for ArmaLite Rifle, the original manufacturer. Colt later abandoned the CAR-15 concept, but continued to make variations, using the M16 brand for military-oriented models and the Colt AR-15 brand for law enforcement and civilian models. However, in present usage, CAR-15 is used as a generic name for carbine-length...

Carbide lamps, also known as acetylene gas lamps, are simple lamps that produce and burn acetylene which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide with water. These lamps were used in mines after the re-invention of the medium in 1892. Carbide lamps were also used to illuminate buildings, as lighthouse beacons, and as headlights on cars and bicycles. They are still employed by cavers, hunters, and cataphiles. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения...

A carbine is a firearm similar to a rifle or musket. Many carbines, especially modern designs, were developed from rifles, being essentially shortened versions of full rifles firing the same ammunition, although often at a lower velocity. There have also been many cases where the carbine and rifle adopted by a particular nation were not technically related, such as using completely different ammunition or internal operating systems (though the carbine still being weaker, or of smaller size). Either may be more common, depending on the time period. There are also a limited number of pistol-caliber carbines, designed by integrating the action of a handgun such as a revolver or autoloader into a longer weapon with a rifle barrel and stock....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Carbonless copy paper, non-carbon copy paper, or NCR paper is an alternative to carbon paper, used to make a copy of an original, handwritten (or mechanically typed) document without the use of any electronics. The process was invented by chemists Lowell Schleicher and Barry Green, working for the NCR Corporation, as a biodegradable, stain-free alternative to carbon paper. Early product literature piggybacked on NCR's corporate name by calling the paper No Carbon Required paper. Carbonless copy paper works in a fairly simple way. It consists of sheets of paper that are coated with micro-encapsulated dye or ink and/or a reactive clay. The back of the first sheet is coated with micro-encapsulated...

A fully integrated field emission diode (FED) using carbon nanotubes as electron field emitter was constructed. The device was designed and fabricated on a glass substrate by screen-printing thick film technique. The FED was operated at 100 V for giving a forward current density of 180 mA/cm2. A leakage current of 1 pA was measured then a 1000 V reverse voltage was applied, indicating that a high voltage blocking capability was obtained from such a device. From theoretical calculation and experimental results, the FED can be operated in megahertz due to very high speed of electrons traveling through them vacuum gap on forward operation and a small residue capacitance as well as minimum the reverse recovery time on reverse operation. The...
