 Vening Meinesz Pendulum Apparatus
They are pendulums that have periods of 24 to 25 seconds and remain substantially level while the apparatus may swing a little bit in the wave period which tends to be in the period range of 4 to 6 seconds.
Because of the motions of the submarine the apparatus is hung in the Gimbal Frame which is #18 (a second similar Gimbal Frame Disassembled is #17.) The Gimbal Frames were unclamped.
When unclamped with the counter weights positioned properly would approximately level the apparatus in the Gimbals and then the rolling and pitching of the submarine, due to the operation of it and due to the wave motion would not appreciably effect the level of the apparatus.

 Critical Apparatus
Tags for the apparatus entry and readings, and for the documentation of the witnesses whose readings are included in the apparatus, are described in section 19.1 The Apparatus Entry, Readings, and Witnesses.
In some cases, the apparatus in the source may commence recording the readings for a particular witness without its being clear whether the previous absence of readings for this witness is due to a lacuna, or to some other reason.
Where it is intended that the apparatus be complete enough to allow the reconstruction of the witnesses (or at least of their non-orthographic variations), the location-reference method should be avoided in favor of one of the other two methods, which allow the unambiguous reconstruction of the lemma from the encoding.

 Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules synthesized by the cell, primarily proteins and lipids.
The transport mechanism which proteins use to progress through the Golgi apparatus is not yet clear; however a number of hypotheses currently exist.
Cisternal maturation model: the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus move by being built at the cis face and destroyed at the trans face.

 Will apparatus leasing work for you?
The leasing agent, usually the apparatus manufacturer, guarantees the turn-in value at the end of the lease, provided that certain terms and conditions are met.
Most apparatus becomes functionally obsolete before it wears out, and the trade in or walk-away lease usually allows a department to obtain new apparatus every five or seven years.
Under typical "normal" usage, apparatus can be expected to have a value of about 60-70% if sold or traded in after five years of use.

 Sir William Hamilton's Vesuvian apparatus Apollo - Find Articles
In 1767 the great collector and vulcanologist Sir William Hamilton designed an 'apparatus' to depict an eruption of Vesuvius, This remarkable combination of moving pictures with light and sound effects was perhaps the closest the eighteenth century came to the cinema.
By contrast, Hamilton's Vesuvian apparatus was a work of art, reinforced with machinery, purposely designed to convey the tremendous force, the rapidly changing aspect, and the terrific noise of a volcanic eruption in a manner far more realistic then would have been possible with a conventional painting.
His choice of an apparatus may, although it is difficult to pin down any antecedents, have been influenced by a prevailing enthusiasm for scientific instruments, shared, for example, by his childhood friend George III.

 Evaluation of USP Apparatus 3 for Dissolution Testing of Immediate-Release Products
It was found that USP apparatus 3 at the extreme low end of the possible agitation range, such as 5 dpm, gave hydrodynamic conditions equivalent to USP apparatus 2 at 50 rpm.
The development of USP apparatus 3 was based on the recognition of the need to establish in vitro and in vivo correlation and the fact that the dissolution results obtained with USP apparatuses 1 and 2 may be significantly affected by shaft wobble, location, centering, and coning
Table 1 shows that USP apparatus 3 at an appropriate agitation rate is able to generate formulation-specific dissolution profiles similar to those of USP apparatus 2.

 The British Society for Cell Biology - Golgi Apparatus
Golgi apparatus (or complex, or body, or 'the 'Golgi') is found in all plant and animal cells and is the term given to groups of flattened disc-like structures located close to the endoplasmic reticulum.
A new Golgi apparatus can only grow from a fragment of Golgi apparatus from the previous cell, so there is therefore the potential for a new Golgi apparatus to grow from each small fragment.
The Golgi apparatus is a critical member of the biochemical manufacturing and supply chain inside a cell.
