Leyden jar, device for storing static electricity, discovered accidentally and investigated by the Dutch physicist Pieter van Musschenbroek of the University of Leiden in 1746, and independently by the German inventor Ewald Georg von Kleist in 1745.
Through model analysis---the counterpart of binding-time analysis in the use of partial evaluation for general purpose software, the tool can discover the static parts in the model including data types, buffer sizes, parameter values, model structures and execution schedules, etc. and then exploit the already known information to reach a very efficient implementation.
They picked up of an unexplainable static on a measuring device leading them ultimately to discover the background static of the "big bang," thus revolutionizing our concept of how the world was created.
Some of the models, for extra lift, had blown-up balloons entwined in their hair, much as a child, discovering static electricity for the first time, will rub a party balloon on his head.
What is surprising to discover is how seemingly static standards, such as the wrongness of resting one's creativity on the purloined props of another's imagination, are less absolute than one might imagine.
The proposed protocols exploit topology information and the nature of devices (static or mobile) to reliably and rapidly discover neighbor devices.
At the software level, models have proven useful to support both static and dynamic functional analyses in order to discover systematic faults in the code.
They were not the first to discover that parachutes need personal operation – the static line does not always work – and that Peter Ridsdale and Far Eastern promises are not the answer.
In 1750, he discovered that static electricity could be silently conducted away from a charged metal sphere by a nearby iron needle.
Static is a sitcom all about twenty-something Rob Rob Beckettt) who jacks in a job in London to move back in with his parents in their southeast London family home, only to discover they've just sold the house and moved to a static caravan park in Margate.
