(In 1943 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned patent No. 7777, indicating that Lodge, Nikola Tesla, and John Stone appeared to have priority in the development of radio-tuning apparatus.) Marconi's great triumph was, however, yet to come.
When Hata tuned his apparatus to add about 100 parts per million of water to hydrocarbons--the source of the carbon for the growing tubes--and other inert carrier gases, the water reacted with the amorphous carbon from the catalyst particles but didn't damage the growing nanotubes.
To make efficient use of the constrained space inside the vertical bore, a modular probe design was implemented with a bottom-adjustable tuning and matching apparatus.
The system is modeled by the researcher, who learns from the data and designs experiments by tuning the measurement apparatus.
Potassium atoms presented their own set of technical challenges, so this run focused on fine-tuning the 750kg apparatus for taking their measure.
The present study provides novel information about the functional tuning of the feeding apparatus that may constrain organ evolution in an evolutionary arms race between plants and visiting nectar feeding insects.
Dr Cho's apparatus is tuned to the modifications induced by haemoglobin, the red blood pigment that carries oxygen.
In each of the assays the analyzing apparatus is tuned for one or more specific chemical classes and stable isotope labeled standards are used to facilitate concentration determination.
In November, GoldieBlox also released a video showing three playful young girls setting up an elaborate Mouse Trap-style apparatus to the tune of the Beastie Boys' classic hit, Girls.
Interestingly, Daniel et al. (1989) stated that: (1) to achieve the highest intake rates, the geometry of the entire feeding apparatus must be tuned, and (2) that isometric size increase of the feeding apparatus increases the energy intake rate at all nectar concentrations.
Intuitively, it seems likely that all of the flight apparatus (muscle and wing morphology) would be tuned to the flight requirements of the species, with the result manifesting as the power generated by the wings.
