  Closed-End Air Columns
In the case of stringed instruments (discussed earlier), standing wave patterns were drawn to depict the amount of movement of the string at various locations along its length.
In the case of air columns, a closed end in a column of air is analogous to the fixed end on a vibrating string.
That is, at the closed end of an air column, air is not free to undergo movement and thus is forced into assuming the nodal positions of the standing wave pattern.

  Surgical instrument positioning system - Patent 5728047
A surgical instrument is provided comprising an attachment portion and/or attachment means for adjustable attachment to the adjustment positions provided by the positioning means of the belt assembly to allow the instrument to be maintained in a desired position during a surgical procedure.
Instrument hook 60, in a preferred embodiment, is attachable to surgical instrument 50 and includes a self-locking ring member 62 and a tongue member 66 which fits within a slot 68 which is formed within end portion 69 of ring member 62.
Instrument hook 60 is preferably provided in two sizes, one with an inner diameter d.sub.3 of 3 to 5 mm and the other with an inner diameter of 10-12 mm, which allows the hook 60 to fit around typically used surgical instruments having distal handle diameters of corresponding sizes.

 The Physics Classroom
A closed-end instrument is an instrument in which one of the ends of the metal tube containing the air column is covered.
The end of the tube represents a boundary between the enclosed air in the tube and the expanse of air outside of the tube.
Since the closed end acts as a fixed end which prevents the oscillation of air, the closed end remains at normal pressure; the close ends are always pressure nodes.

 Credit Risk
It enables the end user to either take a longer term view on recovery, while still allowing the sale of the debt at settlement if there is a belief that the situation will worsen over time.
The risk to the end user is the ability of the broker/dealer or commercial bank to repurchase the assets at maturity, rather than the market risk of the assets purchased.
End users, on the other hand, can more profitably employ their capital by selling protection rather than physically buying the assets or joining a lending syndicate.

 Concertina FAQ: The Ideas of Göran Rahm
These disadvantages could be cured in some extent by a sunken keyboard (11) or sloping ends, raised at the lower end of the instrument (12) but the contact between the palm/wrist and the endplate still is unsatisfactory.
Instead of making the instrument slightly larger or elongated as I suggested, an extra internal reed-pan with a complicated mechanism and even an increase to 62 buttons was introduced which made the whole concept obviously unpractical and understandingly abortive.
I first tried to elongate and broaden the end a little like figure 1, but found that the wrist support favoured a position of the hand closer to the buttons, and with a slight rotation like figure 7 the elongation was unnecessary (figure 9).

 Blood extraction instrument
The end of the double-ended hollow needle which extends into the instrument pierces a membrane on the end of a blood sample tube which is retained thereon by means of a screw-on cap.
The instrument is also provided with a retaining tongue formed by a slot in the cylindrical wall of the instrument for providing a retaining means against the back side of the screw-on cap to retain the blood sample tube in the instrument.
One end, the end inside of the instrument, pierces the membrane of the blood sample tube when the blood sample tube is inserted into the hollow, cylindrical body.

 Insulated laparoscopic grasper with removable shaft - Patent 5578052
The surgical instrument as recited in claim 1 wherein said means attached to said proximal handle for releasably securing said anchor means at said proximal end of said shaft includes a socket with a quick-release button.
This retraction or pulling is accomplished by the socket grasping the proximal end of the inner shaft in response to the handles being squeezes together by the surgeon during the operation.
Because the instrument does not move during the cutting process, the field of view on the screen keeps the graspers in view so that the image transmitter does not have to be realigned for the image receiver.

 NSO/GONG: The GONG Instrument
The instrument consists of two mirrors tracking the Sun in elevation and cross- elevation axes that feed light horizontally into a cargo container housing the rest of the equipment.
When the program determines that the sun has risen, the instrument front end is unstowed and pointed to the sun closely enough so that a guider sensor can provide precise pointing information.
The instrument operates automatically for one week and the only user intervention need is to change the data tapes or to perform maintenance.

 Silicon Valley Instruments
A robot was designed with an end effector that would pick up and transport 12 wafers at a time.
We worked closely with a major supplier of modulated accelerators to insure the instrument interface was within tolerance and was recognized as an integrated tool on the accelerator.
The end result was a system where throughput increased from 6,500 to 14,000 units per hour, material cost of the unit was cut in half, assembly measured in hours, not days, and service calls are now dealt with by modular replacements instead of complete system reworks.

 Developing LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Drivers- Developer Zone - National Instruments
Instrument drivers help users get started using their instrument from their computer and saves them development time and cost because users do not need to learn the programming protocol for each instrument.
For example, instrument drivers often call the Default Setup VI during initialization to set the instrument in a state that allows for robust instrument control by the rest of the instrument driver VIs.
In your instrument driver, use this queue to detect and report instrument errors by querying the instrument after commands are sent.
