  2. List of radioactive nuclides by half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radioactive...

    This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods include jumping up and down make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_(fastener)

    A heavy duty office staple might be designated as F1667 STFCC-04: ST indicates staple, FC indicates flat top crown, C indicates cohered (joined into a strip), and 04 is the dash number for a staple with a length of 0.250 inch (6 mm), a leg thickness of 0.020 inch (500 μm), a leg width of 0.030 inch (800 μm), and a crown width of 0.500 inch ...

  4. List of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides

    At least 3,300 nuclides have been experimentally characterized [1] (see List of radioactive nuclides by half-life for the nuclides with decay half-lives less than one hour). A nuclide is defined conventionally as an experimentally examined bound collection of protons and neutrons that either is stable or has an observed decay mode .

    A manual staple gun An electric stapler. A staple gun or powered stapler is a hand-held machine used to drive heavy metal staples into wood, plastic, or masonry.Staple guns are used for many different applications and to affix a variety of materials, including insulation, house wrap, roofing, wiring, carpeting, upholstery, and hobby and craft materials.

    Absorption half-life 1 h, elimination half-life 12 h. Biological half-life ( elimination half-life , pharmacological half-life ) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication ) to decrease from its maximum concentration ( C max ) to half of C max in the blood plasma .

Still popular for school science class use as a variable voltage supply as the current version has several taps at 1.5 volt intervals. 791: Eveready 791 Eveready 791-A: 2R14 ...

  8. Nickel–hydrogen battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–hydrogen_battery

    The open-circuit voltage is 1.55 V, the average voltage during discharge is 1.25 V. [9] While the energy density is only around one third as that of a lithium battery, the distinctive virtue of the nickel–hydrogen battery is its long life: the cells handle more than 20,000 charge cycles [4] with 85% energy efficiency and 100% faradaic efficiency.

  9. Nickel–iron battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–iron_battery

    For example, a battery discharged one-half, allows a 3.5 hour normal rate charge. Overcharging wastes current and causes rapid evaporation of the water in the electrolyte. For tapering rates of charge, an average of 1.67 volts should be maintained across the cell terminals throughout the charge.
