2 unusual facts about Transformer


Point-to-point construction

Transformers, large capacitors, tube sockets and other large components were mounted to the top of the chassis.

Virginia Transformer Corporation

Low profile construction, tough environmental conditions, and other non-standard specifications required for both Dry-type and Liquid-filled Power Transformers in this application started VTC down the road of custom transformer designs and manufacturing.


Continuation

(In continuation-passing style, call/cc becomes a simple function that can be written with lambda.) This is a particularly common strategy in Haskell, where it is easy to construct a "continuation-passing monad" (for example, the Cont monad and ContT monad transformer in the mtl library).

Cybertron

In the live-action film trilogy directed by Michael Bay, Cybertron is depicted much in the same way as in the source material: the homeplanet of the Transformer race.

Danny Matt

On the night of 31 October/1 November, Matt's troops, ferried by Super Frelon helicopters over some 300 km of Egyptian airspace, attacked and destroyed two bridges over the Nile as well as an electrical transformer near the town of Nag Hamadi.

Doctrine of the General Talking Pictures Case

AT&T owned patents on vacuum tubes (which the majority opinion termed “amplifiers”) and licensed the patents to Transformer Company to manufacture tubes for use in the field of home radios, or small, so-called noncommercial amplifiers.

Electric power system

One of Westinghouse's engineers, William Stanley, recognised the problem with connecting transformers in series as opposed to parallel and also realised that making the iron core of a transformer a fully enclosed loop would improve the voltage regulation of the secondary winding.

Godech

Another major employer is AQ Magnit AD, a subsidiary of Swedish company AQ Group, with a 7,000-m2 plant manufacturing transformers, inductive components, and cabling for clients such as Bombardier Inc. and Ericsson.

Hyosung

Contracted with Goodyear for the long-term supply of Tire Cords and Contracted to take over four Factories around the World; acquired an Agfa photo production facility in Germany; acquired the Nantong Hyosung Transformer Co., Ltd. in China; acquired Dongguk Trade's spandex factory in China

Iris printer

He also wrote software to print works created on desktop computers such as Sally Larsen 1989 Transformer series, and a 1990 photo exhibition for Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Java XML

XalanXSLT/XPath implementation, included in JDK 1.4 and above as the default transformer (XSLT 1.0).

JHK

Hikarian, a discontinued robot transformer playset by Tomy

Lansdale/Doylestown Line

The ex-Reading's electrification system, however, relies on a transformer at Wayne Junction, and separate high-voltage pylons for longer-distance trains, similar to those found on European high-speed rail systems and on the Northeast Corridor between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston.

Lucien Gaulard

In 1885, William Stanley, Jr. built the first practical transformer based on Gaulard and Gibbs's idea, the precursor of the modern transformer.

Magnetic core

When the core is subjected to a changing magnetic field, as it is in devices that use AC current such as transformers, inductors, and AC motors and alternators, some of the power that would ideally be transferred through the device is lost in the core, dissipated as heat and sometimes noise.

Middletown and Hummelstown Railroad

On Friday, January 24, Norfolk Southern delivered a transformer, using the M&H line, to the PPL sub station on Fiddlers Elbow Road.

Mikey Jukebox

Of the song, James remarked, “I consider myself by all means a glam rock-er at heart (T.Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Sweet, Kiss, New York Dolls, Transformer, Mott the Hoople), and the song really lent itself to it in ways. In the end I was trying for an epic “Station to Station” thing production wise".

Mobile Studio

The hardware connects to a PC via USB, and is powered by the user's PC, eliminating the need for a bulky AC transformer.

Móricz Zsigmond körtér

This building, constructed in 1942 in the middle of the roundabout, featured shops as well as the electrical transformer distributing current to the significant tramway network.

RAF Attlebridge

The 466th flew last combat mission on 25 April 1945, striking a transformer station at Traunstein.

SBB-CFF-FFS Ce 6/8 I

The stepping switch transmitted the traction current to the motors which were connected in series circuit.

Stanisław Jaros

To "honor" Joseph Stalin's death, in 1953, Jaros planted a bomb under a transformer at the Joseph Stalin Coal Mine (formerly known as Renard Coal Mine) in Sosnowiec.

Technological applications of superconductivity

Promising future industrial and commercial HTS applications include Induction heaters, transformers, fault current limiters, power storage, motors and generators, fusion reactors (see ITER) and magnetic levitation devices.

Traffolyte

The material dates back to 1927, when it was first produced by Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Ltd. at their Trafford Park factory in Manchester, UK for transformer labels.

Transmetal

Transmetals, a type of Transformer technology in the fictional Transformers universe

TrikeBuggy Delta

The TrikeBuggy Delta, Bullet and Transformer are a family of American ultralight trikes and powered parachutes, designed and produced by TrikeBuggy of Santa Barbara, California.

Valve audio amplifier

the Ultra-Linear output stage (a tapped push-pull output transformer providing power intermediate between triodes and pentodes, at lower distortion than either) was originated by Alan Blumlein in 1937 in the UK, but popularised following publication of a paper by David Hafler and Keroes in the USA in 1951, and became the dominant topology during the post war recovery of consumer products

Vector group

In electrical engineering, a vector group is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method of categorizing the high voltage (HV) windings and low voltage (LV) winding configurations of three-phase transformers.

Wellston, Missouri

During the early 1900s, the Wagner Electric Company, a manufacturer of small motors for appliances and transformers, began development along Plymouth Avenue in Wellston, growing to occupy the entire block and providing 4,500 jobs during World War I.
