Special Connectors

There are several special connectors that provide demountable connections between glass to glass, glass to metal, or metal to metal. These connectors provide many advantages over standard connections. 

The advantages of glass-threaded connections are that they allow easy connections to be made and, disassembled, require no grease. Additionally, there is little, if any, chance of two pieces seizing. The disadvantages are that they may not

Great care is needed in the design of autoclaves and sterilization cycles because of the requirement for the presence of moisture. The autoclave must be loaded to allow complete steam penetration to occur in all parts of the load before timing of the sterilization cycle commences. The time required for complete penetration, the so-called heat-up time, varies with different autoclave constmction and different types of loads and packaging materials. The time may not exceed specific limits in order to guarantee reproducibility and, for porous loads, saturated steam. The volume of each container has a considerable effect on the heatup time whenever fluids are sterilized. Thermocouples led into the chamber through a special connector are often employed to determine heatup times and peak temperatures. The pressure is refleved at the end of each sterilization cycle. Either vented containers must be used or... 

An important, exclusive feature of the plate heat exchanger is that by the use of special connector plates it is possible to provide connections for alternate fluids so that a number of duties can be done in the same frame. 

Normal liquid chromatographs use small bore one-sixteenth-in. tubing (<0.25 mm i.d.), special connectors, minimum tube lengths, and detectors with volumes around 8 to 12 p.L. For the low flow situations described earlier, the i.d. of the tubing is more critical and special detectors may be required in the paper mentioned above,50 the column was connected directly to the injection valve and the detector, thus eliminating all extracolumn tubing. 

In addition to these sockets and slots on the motherboard, there is a special connector (shown in Figure 2.9) that allows the motherboard to be connected to the power supply to receive power. Typically, there are either one or two plugs that connect into this motherboard connector. If there are two connectors, they are usually labeled P8 and P9 (as shown in Figure 2.10). 

In some other commercial models, instead of INT and DIFF positions, the instrument has special connectors for the desired output. 

The STM used in this work was constructed in our laboratory [13]. Mechanically, it consists of two main modules a scanner and a coarse positioner. The scanner part is constructed with a PZT tube (EBL 3 PZT-5H, Staveley Sensors, CT) glued to an aluminium body. Electrical connection of PZT is through a special connector. The tip holder is also glued to the interior of the PZT tube but isolated electrically. The coarse positioner is a magnetically driven slider, which is fastened to the scanner and the whole system is mounted on a vibration isolation stage. 

The computational system from the pants-and-jacket ensemble with a sewn network was placed on an off-the-shelf medium-sized jumpsuit, shown in Fig. 27.10. The bus concept was changed to thin USB cords, which were housed within fabric tubing to help mask the sensation of the USB cords. Specialized connectors were not... 

A MAU is IBM s name for a token ring hub. A MAU would be manufactured with a fixed number of ports and connections for unshielded or shielded twisted pair. IBM uses special connectors for token ring over shielded twisted pair (STP) connections to a MAU. MAUs offer varying degrees of management capability. 

As is apparent from (Lane, 2007), the virtual contact point on the rail is connected to a point on the wheel surface through a special connector. The stiffness of the spring k was chosen based on a linearisation of equation (1) around a force corresponding to equidistribution of normal forces. We found that it was advantageous with a damping value close to critical damping in order to maintain numerical stability. The values for a wheel mass of = 1830 kg (Table 1) are = 1.7321 10 N/m and c = 9.S-10 Ns/m. 

Utility stations in a nitrogen distribution system must be clearly identified. Special connectors and hoses which are not common to any other system should be used.
