    P. R. Mallory and Co Inc was a US producer of dry cell batteries (Mercury; alkaline Duracell), electronic components including electrolytic capacitors, and audible warning devices ("Sonalert"). It also was the parent firm of Mallory Batteries Ltd. , an Irish producer of Ever Ready batteries.

  3. Magneto-optical drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive

    A Magneto-optical disc surface has sector partition rectangles. A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. 130 mm (5.25 in) and 90 mm (3.5 in) discs are the most common sizes.

  4. Philip Mallory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Mallory

    Philip Rogers Mallory (November 11, 1885 - November 16, 1975) was an American businessman and the founder of the company that is now known as Duracell International. Rather than making a career in his family's shipping business, he founded his own manufacturing company, the P. R. Mallory Company. Starting as a manufacturer of tungsten filament ...

  5. Distribution management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_management_system

    A distribution management system (DMS) is a collection of applications designed to monitor and control the electric power distribution networks efficiently and reliably. It acts as a decision support system to assist the control room and field operating personnel with the monitoring and control of the electric distribution system.

  6. Inductive discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_discharge_ignition

    The inductive-discharge ignition system operates according to the rules of electromagnetism described by Faraday's Law of Induction which states that the induction of electromotive force (emf) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.

  7. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

    The first car to use magneto ignition was the 1901 German Mercedes 35 hp racing car, followed by various cars produced by Benz, Mors, Turcat-Mery, and Nesseldorf. [8] Ignition magnetos were soon used on most cars, for both low voltage systems (which used secondary coils to fire the spark plugs) and high voltage magnetos (which fired the spark ...

  8. Magnetoresistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoresistance

    When a magnetic field along the axis is turned on (B points directly out of the screen), the Lorentz force drives a circular component of current, and the resistance between the inner and outer rims goes up. This increase in resistance due to the magnetic field is called magnetoresistance.

  9. Magnetic coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_coupling

    Some diver propulsion vehicles and remotely operated underwater vehicles use magnetic couplings to transfer torque from the electric motor to the prop. Magnetic gearing is also being explored for use in utility-scale wind turbines as a means of enhancing reliability. [1] The magnetic coupling has several advantages over a traditional stuffing ...
