Some foods work on a mechanical action (large biscuits with specific fibres to scrape away at the tartar).
The wiping test was performed following CEN quantitative carrier test method with mechanical action (4-field test) where one field was contaminated with the biofilm and the other three fields left clean.
These combined mechanochemical processing methods can achieve high-precision and low-damage machining, simply by using mechanical action to promote reactions with atmospheric gas and surface adsorption layers.
Lipogems® is a disposable device that progressively reduces the size of the adipose tissue clusters with a mild mechanical action while eliminating oily substances and blood residues with pro-inflammatory properties.
Washing requires the use of mild reagents at temperatures below 20° C (68° F), with minimum mechanical action.
Other versions of ECM include electrolytic grinding, which includes about 90 percent ECM with 10 percent mechanical action; electrochemical arc machining (ECAM), in which controlled arcs in an aqueous electrolyte remove material at a fast rate; and capillary drilling, in which acid electrolytes are used to machine very fine holes.
However, to impair dangerous microbial growth [6, 7], a complete removal of the gel is required and such a procedure often requires abrasive mechanical action (i.e., removal with scraper) or solvents, often unsafe for the artwork.
Former pinball service engineer and industry veteran Jack Guarnieri – known to pinheads as Jersey Jack – has formed a company called Jersey Jack Pinball, which will shortly release a machine called Wizard Of Oz. "Our game is still based on mechanical action, but it is loaded with new technology," Guarnieri says.
This important finding implies a toggle effect with the mechanical action itself causing damage to the taper surface and opening the junction to the potential corrosive effects of physiological fluids.
