"Skorpions," for example, involves a padded garment threaded with nitinol wires; when a performer wears the garment, electrical currents pulse through the wires to make them contract, making the dress writhe like a sentient creature.
Reading it all these years later, you may have to work a little to pick up the electrical currents pulsing beneath its dry, self-contained surface — Beattie's style wasn't called "minimalist" for nothing — but if you do, you will see some of what Angell must have seen.
The electrical current will pulse through the target's body for however long the officer chooses to hold the trigger.
Alternating electrical current, which pulses through most of the nation's grid, has been likened by energy experts to a river that will follow the path of least resistance.
Using a unifying charge measure to compare energy needed for electrical and optical stimulation, we reveal that direct electrical current injection (rectangular pulse) is more efficient at short pulses, whereas voltage-mediated negative feedback leads to self-termination of ChR2 current and renders optical stimulation more efficient for long low-intensity pulses.
The experimental parameters include rotational speed of workpiece, electrical current rating and pulse period, electrode geometry, and electrode feed rate.
ECT parameters, such as electrical current type (brief pulse or sine wave), placement of electrodes (UL, BL, bitemporal, and bifrontal) and device manufacture type used was noted in most studies of later date but otherwise very sparsely.
For T cell reconstitution experiments, a 10 µl formulation of 30 µg of pCMV-ZAP-70-IRES-EGFP DNA was injected in each thymic lobe and then an electrical current of 5 pulses of 20 ms at 300 V was immediately applied.
This forms a non-uniform temperature field in the sample, which also rapidly changes in time as the parameters of the electrical current change during the pulse.
