Manufactured goods Manufactured goods A living hinge is a hinge with no moving parts. It is generally a thin section of the material that bends to allow movement. The lack of any friction or wear in such a hinge makes it essential in the design of MEMS, and the ease of manufacturing and assembly from the reduced part count makes them quite common in disposable packaging. Large-scale living hinges are most often made from polypropylene due to its excellent fatigue resistance. ...more on Wikipedia about "Living hinge"
Stranded wire is composed of a bundle of small- gauge wires wrapped in a single piece of insulation to make a larger conductor. Stranded wire is more flexible than a single, thick strand of the same gage. It is commonly used for electrical applications carrying audio, video, or computer data signals and for power cables between an appliance and the wall outlet. Usually house wiring is done with single strand wire because there is normally no movement of wires inside walls, and thus no danger of those wires breaking owing to fatigue. If wires/cables are subject to frequent movement, then often a complete breakage can be prevented for some time by frequent inspection, which is required to see if any of the strands have been broken. If so, then the wire/cable should be replaced as soon as possible. ...more on Wikipedia about "Stranded wire"
Unotchit (pronounced "You-No-Touch-It") is the name of a "gizmo" invented by Margaret Atwood which allows someone to remotely sign a book as well as interact via video and audio. It is also the name of the company founded by Atwood which is developing the information appliance. ...more on Wikipedia about "Unotchit"
A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator. ...more on Wikipedia about "Wind turbine"
A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, elongated strand of drawn metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads and to carry electricity and telecommunications signals. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges. The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in 'multistranded wire'. ...more on Wikipedia about "Wire"
