That is the direction of the superlattice, divided into components, together functioning as a device.
In these hybrid structures, the graphene (or graphite) could function as a device electrode owing to its excellent optical transparency, electrical conductivity and flexibility [1].
The latter functions partly as a device to enable the controlled release of information about a past trauma concerning his role in his sister's death, and partly - more interestingly - to analyse and amplify the book's governing idea, which is the narrator's abiding fantasy that he is half cockroach.
It also functions as a cheat device à la GameShark.
In Estlund's epistemic proceduralism, a procedure-independent standard functions as a selection device.
A CNOT gate functions as a copying device for the control bit if the target bit is set to 0, because the output of the target bit is then a copy of the control bit: the input 00 produces output 00, and the input 10 produces output 11 (here the first bit is the control and the second bit is the target).
However, it must be recognized that voting is not an infallible litmus test for democracy; rather, it functions as a procedural device that is normally regarded as the best instrument for securing the ideal of self-governance.
In addition to being the primary energy source for plants, light functions as a signalling device, providing information to the plant, such as how much sunlight the plant receives each day.
One thermistor functions as a heating device while the other measures the temperature of the copper tip: if the stone being tested is a diamond, it will conduct the tip's thermal energy rapidly enough to produce a measurable temperature drop.
