The position of the magnet in the float is precisely determined by the interaction with signal pulses in the wire.

Because the O₂ sensor must be pre-heated to function, many newer units contain a little 12 volt heater that brings it up to temperature sooner, offering better fuel economy and driveability earlier. These sensors can be identified by the number of wires coming out of the unit. Just one wire means you don’t have a heater. Those that have three wires use one for the signal, and two for the heater circuit. Those that have four wires use one for the signal, one for the signal' s ground, and two for the heater. In this case usually the signal wire is shielded against interference, much like common television coaxial cable.  4, record 13, English, - heated%20exhaust%20gas%20oxygen%20sensor

Most engines with a turbo use sensors with heaters because the turbo steals so much of the superheat energy as it uses it to pump additional air in the intake. Without the heater, the sensor should not get hot enough to give good readings, especially when the turbo is being used.

Pour compléter la sonde, on peut ajouter un élément chauffant central en céramique PTC de manière à assurer une mise à température de fonctionnement plus rapide (20 à 30 secondes). Sur une sonde non chauffée, ce temps est quasiment le triple car on compte uniquement sur la température des gaz d'échappement pour porter la sonde à la température correcte. Dans ce cas, la position de la sonde sur la ligne d'échappement est encore plus délicate à déterminer. [...] La différence entre une sonde chauffée et une non chauffée se situe bien entendu dans la rapidité de mise en activité mais aussi dans la durée de vie. Ainsi les fabricants estiment la durée de vie à 80000 km pour une sonde non chauffée et à 160 000 km pour une sonde chauffée. Par ailleurs, la conception actuelle des moteurs donnant en finale de faibles débits de gaz au ralenti avec des températures basses, l'utilisation de sondes chauffées est préférable.  3, record 13, French, - sonde%20d%27oxyg%C3%A8ne%20chauffante

Radio Fence is an underground electrical barrier which works with a receiver on your dog's collar. It beeps your dog when he nears the boundary and gives him a small electrical correction if he tries to cross it. It keeps your dog safe... Radio Fence acts as a hidden barrier that gives your dog access to the whole yard but inhibits his movements into unwanted areas.... A crystal-tuned transmitter plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal that travels along an underground wire [which is] buried an inch or two [below the surface. ] The four-ounce receiver, worn on your pet's existing collar, picks up the radio signal and alerts him as he nears the hidden boundary that you have customized for your yard. If he crosses the boundary, he will receive a small electrical correction.  1, record 15, English, - radio%20fence

La clôture futée «ANTI-FUGUE» est un système de clôture radio, donc invisible, qui permet de maintenir l'animal dans une limite que le maître a établie. [...] Un émetteur envoie un signal radio basse fréquence le long d'un fil qui sert d'antenne. Ce fil enterré juste sous la surface du sol (3 cm) ou posé sur une clôture existante détermine le périmètre dans lequel on souhaite limiter l'animal. Un bouton sur l'émetteur permet de régler la zone de correction de 1 à 10 m de part et d'autre du fil. Des fanions permettent de visualiser le périmètre choisi pendant l'apprentissage. Lorsque l'animal muni d'un collier récepteur s'approche de la limite fixée, il perçoit un signal d'avertissement sonore. S'il s'avance plus, il reçoit une correction similaire à une décharge d'électricité statique. Bien qu'inoffensive, cette correction le dissuade d'aller plus loin.  1, record 15, French, - cl%C3%B4ture%20radio

In this form of transport detector for h. p. l. c. [high-performance liquid chromatography], the eluate is deposited upon a fine stainless steel wire that has been cleaned by being heated at 850°C. The volatile solvent is evaporated and the solute oxidized at 700-800°C in air to a mixture of carbon dioxide and water. The oxidation products are mixed with hydrogen and passed over a nickel catalyst at 330°C to give methane which is burnt in a flame ionization detector to give an electrical signal that can be amplified and recorded. The detector gives a linear response over a wide concentration range [...] The sensitivity has been improved and the noise level reduced by using either a ceramic(kaolin) or ceramic-metal(kaolin and copper) coating to the wire.  1, record 18, English, - wire%20transport%20detector
