To make textiles, yarn had to be spun; the earliest apparatus for this work consisted of a spindle and a distaff (a forked stick holding the unspun fibres).
Because of the lack of evidence for harmful effects via inhalation from harvesting cyanobacterial biomass from marine or fresh waters, we do not currently recommend the use of protective respiratory apparatus for such work.
After two days of staying mum, the state Republican Party chairman in Delaware said Thursday afternoon that the state party apparatus would work for the election in November of the party's candidates -- including, apparently, Christine O'Donnell, the party's nominee for the Senate seat formerly held by Vice President Joseph R.

Oculus is also opening doors for Control VR, a Los Angeles company that is developing a gesture-controlled glove and upper-body apparatus that work with the Rift.
In this work, an apparatus for triboelectric charging characterization of display glass during the roller transfer process was designed and fabricated.
In the present work, HydRA, an apparatus for performing experiments under geothermally relevant conditions, was developed, built, and put into operation.
Divers aren't just used for work in water; we're brought into anywhere breathing apparatus might be necessary – drains, sewers, even the tube train after the 7/7 bombs.
The present paper deals with design and trial-fabrication works for developing a dismantling apparatus for the irradiation capsules.
In this work, we demonstrate a compact optical apparatus for imaging acoustic vibrations that could be incorporated into a commercially available digital otoscope.
This apparatus works well for small delicate organisms, such as nudibranchs, flatworms, small arthropods, polychaetes etc.
To demonstrate that the apparatus was working correctly and for calibration, we measured thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity in both bulk and anisotropic measurement modes for a pair of fused isotropic silica standards.
