Door knobs

In outdoor type switchgear or controlgear assemblies the normal practice is to provide a double door in the front to house the front panel and protect the door knobs, meters, lights, pushbuttons, reset knobs or other accessories mounted on the door and thus prevent water or dust leaking through joints, knockouts and fitments etc. It is also recommended to have a canopy on the top of the enclosure to protect the panel from direct rain. Figures 13.6 and 13.28 illustrate this type of construction. 

A whole science, called metallography, is devoted to this. The oldest method is to cut the alloy in half, polish the cut faces, etch them in acid to colour the phases differently, and look at them in the light microscope. But you don t even need a microscope to see some grains. Look at any galvanised steel fire-escape or cast brass door knob and you will see the grains, etched by acid rain or the salts from people s hands. 

The ether is also used in paint, varnish and lacquer formulations. A recent development is the use of ethyl cellulose gel lacquers. These are permanent coatings applied in a similar way to the strippable coatings. They have been used in the United States for coating tool handles, door knobs and bowling pins. 

Although all art is inherently public—created in order to convey an idea or emotion to others— public art, as opposed to art that is (20) sequestered in museums and galleries, is art specifically designed for a public arena where the art will be encountered by people in their normal day-to-day activities. Public art can be purely ornamental or highly functional it can be as subtle as a decorative door knob or as conspicuous as the Chicago Picasso. It is also an essential element of (25) effective urban design.

Bob trips over what looks like a giant spider and sprawls on to his carpet. What next He gets up and runs for the door to his living quarters. As he puts his hand on the door knob he turns around to look at the brown thing on the floor and realizes that it is just the large pillow from his couch. 

In order to produce harder, tougher materials, inventors combined plant resins with other plant and animal fluids, and inorganic materials such as diatomaceous earth, and pulverized glass, porcelain, or stone. The resultant compositions could take much more abuse than earlier molded resin compounds, and were made into everything from door knobs to billiard balls.

Dermal Poison Dermal poisons, also known as Contact Poisons, are oils or resins that are rapidly absorbed by the skin. These poisons are usually spread directly, or mixed with other substances and spread on objects that are commonly grasped by the hand, such as door knobs, envelopes or weapon handles. This poison also works as an Ingested Poison and a Subdermal Poison. It is incredibly difficult to detect this type of poison, unless precaution is taken to always wear protective gloves or always examine a surface before touching. The creature may make an Intellegence check with a -8 penalty, using the DC of the poison in question. This may be modified by the GM and... 

The sum is taken over the Z protons in the nuleus and the matrix element is evaluated for a nuclear state described by a spin quantum number I and projection quantum number mi = I. Q is positive for a cigar-shaped distribution and negative for one in the shape of a door-knob. The quantity eq is defined by... 

Hardware- All of the "metal" fittings that go into the home when it is near completion. For example, door knobs, towel bars, handrail brackets, closet rods, house numbers, door closers, etc. The Interior Trim Carpenter installs the "hardware". 

Radon levels indoors can be measured by a safe and a rather simple method by use of detectors [58]. Detectors are usually in the living room and in another occupied bedroom. In one application (in UK), the detectors used were just a piece of spectacle lens plastic put in a protective shell, about the size and shape of a small door knob (obtainable through mail order in some countries [29] and were retnrned after three months of testing in a reply paid envelope provided). The plastic in this system records radon, which was measured by accredited laboratories after its return. There are also much shorter (i.e., fortnightly) measurements available, that can be nsed for screening purposes as they are less accurate [29]. 

A wheel and axle is a rotating lever (the wheel) that moves around the fulcrum (the axle). The wheel and axle utilizes the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever. The larger the wheel diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage that is gained (Figure 10-9). Examples of this second-class lever (wheel and axle) include a door knob and the pedal spindle on your bicycle. 

The flow of electrons can be found in nature in the form of static electricity. The discharge of static electricity can result when you walk across a carpeted floor and reach out for a metal door knob (Figure 13-8). The... 

Other unnecessary obstacles should be avoided as well, such as low-hanging signs, water fountains, desks, chairs, tables, etc., and similar devices which may protrude into a corridor, or even safety devices such as deluge showers with low hanging chains which could strike a person in the face in a partially dimmed or darkened corridor. The corridors must have a minimum of 80 inches of headroom. Door closers and stops caimot reduce this to less than 78 inches. Between the heights of 27 inches and 80 inches, objects cannot protrude into the corridor by more than 4 inches, approximately the length of a door knob. 

Avoid touching any item unnecessarily with contaminated gloves, including documents, pens, door knobs, telephones, etc. Any such items should be decontaminated after such contact. 

Additionally, workers can be physically separated firom electrostatically charged materiab such as metal handrails or door knobs. Nonmetallic shields or guards will prevent direct contact of workers with metal parts.

Do not touch common surfaces or objects, such as door knobs, refrigerator handles, telephone receivers, or light switches, with gloved hands that have been used to handle radioisotopes. Either remove the gloves and wash first, or use a paper towel interposed between the hand and the object to guard against the spread of contamination. 

Danger from the laser beam. Direct viewing of the laser beam must be avoided. This includes sighting down the beam since objects in the beam s path may be efficient reflectors. All lasers can produce eye damage— at any power level. Be especially aware of the hazard from specular reflections from objects in the beam s path, such as mirrors, walls, door knobs, laboratory furniture. Mis-aimed beams can produce a fire or explosion if the beam contacts flammable material. The laboratory should be checked for such hazards before operating the laser.
