3 unusual facts about Residual-current device


Electric shock

Residual-current device, a device used to protect against electric shocks

ESB Group

Where a TT network connection is used, the entire supply must be protected by an RCD

30 mA RCD protection is required for all socket outlets since 1981, however it may also be present on older installations.


1582 Cagayan battles

Pirate activity was residual and the commercial activity focused on Lingayen Bay, in Pangasinan, on the port of Agoo and consisted principally on the deerskin trade.

Aftermath: The Remnants of War

The program features interviews with individuals involved with the reparation of the residual devastation - people who destroy unexploded munitions at Verdun and in Sarajevo, recover and identify skeletons of battlefield casualties at Stalingrad, and help victims of Agent Orange in the Aluoi Valley, Vietnam.

Alleghany Corporation

The company's residual railroad investments led to president and CEO John J. Burns serving on the board of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation from 1995 to 2004.

Basilica di Santa Giulia

Notable are the sculpted capitals, with geometrical, animal or human figures, while the residual exterior decoration include small columns and Lombard bands.

Bergen Marine

Manufactured under licence from SEMT Pielstick (owned by MAN Diesel), these engines are designed and developed specifically to burn heavy residual fuels.

Blackberry Hill Hospital

Patients of Glenside were assessed for capability, with many placed within the Care in the Community programme, while the residual were moved into new buildings constructed on the former Manor Park site for their long term care.

Brown sugar

It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content, or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar (so-called Molasses Sugar).

CCAI

Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index, an index to calculate the ignition quality of residual fuel oil

Chemetco

Under Denis L. Feron, Chemetco had been a major producer of high-purity copper derived from secondary sources – recycled and residual materials.

COSMO-RS

In analogy to activity coefficient models used in chemical engineering, such as NRTL, UNIQUAC or UNIFAC, the final chemical potential can be split into a combinatorial and a residual (non ideal) contribution.

Erase

Data remanence, the residual representation of data that has been in some way nominally erased or removed

Garki Project

The project concluded that indoor spraying with Propoxur had a very limited impact on malaria and the mass administration of sulfalene-pyrimethamine (in combination with the residual spraying) failed to interrupt the transmission of malaria for any length of time.

Heat pipe

For example, in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System residual ground heat remaining in the oil as well as heat produced by friction and turbulence in the moving oil could conduct down the pipe's support legs and melt the permafrost on which the supports are anchored.

Heavy oil

Fuel oil that contains residual oil left over from distillation.

Hodge v. The Queen

In his ruling, Lord Fitzgerald held that the province had the authority to delegate any of its residual powers under section 92(16).

Irene Cortes

These views on "residual powers", similar to those expressed by U.S. Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson in his concurring opinion in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952), remain the subject of academic debate.

It's On Bitch

Brody's girlfriend Jayde Nicole is concerned that he still has residual feelings for Kristin, though he dismisses their relationship as being too young and maintains that they are still friendly.

Magnetic memory

Remanence, or residual magnetization, the magnetization left behind in a ferromagnet after an external magnetic field is removed

Majoritarian representation

Residual usage in several multi-member constituencies is reduced to the election of the Electoral college of the President of the United States.

Medical genetics

Examples include the use of high doses of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in some patients with homocystinuria to boost the activity of the residual cystathione synthase enzyme, administration of biotin to restore activity of several enzymes affected by deficiency of biotinidase, treatment with NTBC in Tyrosinemia to inhibit the production of succinylacetone which causes liver toxicity, and the use of sodium benzoate to decrease ammonia build-up in urea cycle disorders.

Mortgage Industry Advisory Corporation

In October 2006, MIAC was named the leading provider of Secondary and Residual Pricing in the Securitized and Structured Finance markets by The Bond Market Association and The American Securitization Forum (now the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association).

Nippon Sheet Glass

Following an agreed acquisition of 20% of Pilkington of the United Kingdom in 2001, in 2006 NSG purchased the residual 80% of shares, a company then double its size.

Peening

In the early 1970s peening experienced a major innovation when researchers such as Allan Clauer at Battelle labs in Columbus, Ohio applied high intensity laser beams onto metal components to achieve deep compressive residual stresses, which they patented as Laser Shock Peening, and became known as laser peening in the late 1990s, when it was first applied to gas fired turbine engine fan blades for the U.S. Air Force.

Photo CD

Thirdly and finally, the Photo CD system employs a form of quantization and Huffman coding to further compress this residual data.

Residual entropy

One of the first examples of residual entropy was pointed out by Pauling to describe water ice.

Residual media

The term itself stems from Raymond Williams' study of culture’s dominant, emergent, and residual forms.

Siwucha vodka

The name derives from the siwy (ash grey) color of the liquid due to Tyndall effect of the colloid emulsion of residual fusel oil.

Steven Laureys

It aims at characterizing the brain structure and the residual cerebral function in patients who survive a severe brain injury: patients in coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state and locked in syndrome.

Trout Valley, Illinois

The land was once a farm owned by the John D. Hertz and still contains residual structures from that period of time.

X-Men: The End

Marvel Girl summons her residual Phoenix Force energies and engages Cassandra in psychic battle.
