Electric Plugs

Reaction vessels, spark plugs, electrical resistors, electron tubes, corrosion-resistant equipment, ball mills and grinders, food-processing equipment, piping, valves, pumps, and laboratory ware. 

The three polymorphs of Al2C>3 Si02, sillimanite, kyanite, and andalu-site are found as ores in metamorphic rocks. Sillimanite is formed at high temperatures, above the stability range of andalusite or kyanite. At lower temperature andalusite forms at lower pressures than kyanite. All three forms are used in high-temperature porcelain products such as spark plugs, electrical insulators, refractory, tile, and acid-resistant containers such as crucibles.

Among the many other ceramic applications in which wollastonite can be used are glazed porous ceramics of nearly every kind, dinnerware, ovenware, artware, structural clay products, terra cotta, sanitaryware, chemical stoneware, ceramic-bonded abrasives, refractories, high alumina bodies, spark plugs, electrical porcelains, frits and investment castings.

Serviceability. ServiceabiUty is defined as the degree of ease (or difficulty) with which a system can be repaired. This measure specifically considers fault detection, isolation, and repair. RepairabiUty considers only the actual repair time, and is defined as the probabiUty that a failed system is restored to operation in a specified interval of active repair time. Access covers, plug-in modules, or other features to allow easy removal and replacement of failed components improve the repairabihty and serviceabihty (see also Electrical connectors). 

Arrhythmias. The first solution to cardiovascular problems arising from arrhythmias came about as a result of a complication caused by open-heart surgery. During procedures to correct congenital defects in children s hearts, the electrical conduction system often became impaired, and until it healed, the heart could not contract sufficiently without outside electrical stimulation. A system that plugged into a wall outlet was considered adequate until an electrical storm knocked out power, lea ding to the development of the first battery-powered external pacemaker.
