In the past, our group developed a pencil-type sealer-dissector electrosurgical device intended to minimize blood loss during surgical resection [2], based on an internally cooled radiofrequency (RF) electrode with a built-in blade for easy dissection of the coagulated tissue to avoid using an additional device.
Tungsten carbide is a very useful ceramic in blades for knives, drills and circular saws used in all sorts of metalworking, woodworking, mining, petroleum and construction tools.
The analysis of the vortex core velocity and the blade loading diagram revealed the need for modifications in blade profile for improved turbine performance.
The drastic change in blade shape for w = 0.5 is typical of these optimizations and indicates excessive emphasis on starting; for the reasons given in Wood (2011), the fastest starting blade has an infinitely small chord.

(B ) Average final cell elongation as a function of the final cell area in the blade, for WT, dumpy ov1 and cdc2 E1-E24 wings, as well as WT wings in which the extracellular matrix was ablated.
She could have passed for Daryl Hannah in "Blade Runner" were it not for the fluffy white Bichon-Maltese poodle at her feet.
A scarifier or ripper with teeth can be mounted in front of the blade for use in quarries.
The number of genes with diurnal expression pattern was much less in leaf sheath, and rare in root and stem, reflecting the importance of diurnal regulation of gene expression in the leaf blade for its biological functions such as photosynthesis.
From the flying one in Blade Runner to his designs for U.S. Steel and his work for Mattel's toy line Hot Wheels, no one has designed unbuilt cars with such beauty and flair.
A finite element model of a free-standing LP blade is developed using the principle of sub-structuring which enables the vibration characteristics and transient stress response of the blade to be determined for variations in blade damping.
