Rambaldi was a pioneer of animatronics (puppets operated mechanically by rods or cables) and mechatronics, which combined mechanical, electronic and system design engineering, all in the days before digital special effects became ubiquitous.
This crimp may be introduced mechanically by passing the filament between gearlike rolls.
Most of the rock borers are mollusks; they bore either mechanically by scraping or chemically by the secretion of acid.
Both new and young ice are often thickened mechanically by rafting and ridging, when they are compressed between thicker floes.
His poached eggs don't call for vinegar, which provides a chemical solution to a problem that he solves mechanically, by straining the whites and stirring constantly during cooking.
To complicate matters further, scramjets move too fast for their internal temperature and air pressure to be controlled mechanically by adjusting the air intake.
Since all valid sentences, and only these, are theorems, each sentence can be tested mechanically by putting true and false for each letter in the sentence.
The diaphragm may be actuated mechanically by a piston directly attached to the diaphragm or by a fluid such as compressed air or oil.
As they grow from a few centimetres to a few metres across, they solidify and thicken mechanically by rafting on top of each other.
But the result is a tremendous event that seizes the viewer, involving us in a spectacle of passion, conviction, suffering and belief driven both literally and mechanically by violence.
Pipes of all sizes leap toward the rafters, but virtually all the moving parts — stop throttles, key action, air valves and trackers — are made of wood and driven mechanically by the power of human hands and feet.
