Hydrodynamic separator. In civil engineering (specifically hydraulic engineering ), a hydrodynamic separator ( HDS) is a stormwater management device that uses cyclonic separation to control water pollution. They are designed as flow-through structures with a settling or separation unit to remove sediment and other pollutants. [1]
Magnetic water treatment (also known as anti-scale magnetic treatment or AMT) is a method of supposedly reducing the effects of hard water by passing it through a magnetic field as a non-chemical alternative to water softening. Magnetic water treatment is regarded as unproven and unscientific. A 1996 study by Lawrence Livermore National ...
Use of technology in treatment of mental disorders. The use of electronic and communication technologies as a therapeutic aid to healthcare practices is commonly referred to as telemedicine [1] or eHealth. [2] [3] [4] The use of such technologies as a supplement to mainstream therapies for mental disorders is an emerging mental health treatment ...
Dichroic prism. A dichroic prism is a prism that splits light into two beams of differing wavelengths (colour). A trichroic prism assembly combines two dichroic prisms to split an image into 3 colours, typically as red, green and blue of the RGB colour model. They are usually constructed of one or more glass prisms with dichroic optical ...
Bioelectromagnetics refers to the ability to study live cells, tissues, and organisms that produce electromagnetic fields. Bioelectromagnetism is mostly studied via electrophysiological techniques. [2] [3] Some of the electrophysiological monitoring methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) measure the ...
Taylor Spatial Frame. The Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is an external fixator used by podiatric and orthopaedic surgeons to treat complex fractures [1] and bone deformities. The medical device shares a number of components and features of the Ilizarov apparatus. The Taylor Spatial Frame is a hexapod device based on a Stewart platform, and was ...
Pitch correction. Pitch correction is an electronic effects unit or audio software that changes the intonation (highness or lowness in pitch) of an audio signal so that all pitches will be notes from the equally tempered system (i.e., like the pitches on a piano ). Pitch correction devices do this without affecting other aspects of its sound.
The S-PRISM represents GEH's Generation IV reactor solution to closing the nuclear fuel cycle and is also part of its Advanced Recycling Center (ARC) proposition [1] to U.S. Congress to deal with nuclear waste. [2] S-PRISM is a commercial implementation of the Integral Fast Reactor developed by Argonne National Laboratory between 1984 and 1994.
