	Aluminum Foil: How Products are Made
		Aluminum foil is inexpensive, durable, non-toxic, and greaseproof.
		The reduction of the foil is controlled by adjusting the rpm of the rolls and the viscosity (the resistance to flow), quantity, and temperature of the rolling lubricants.
		However, even aluminum foil is being scrutinized in regard to its environmental "friendliness." Hence, manufacturers are increasing their efforts in the recycling area; in fact, all U.S. foil producers have begun recycling programs even though aluminum foil's total tonnage and capture rate is much lower than that of the easy-to-recycle aluminum cans.

	Foil Design
		The last number, 10, describes the maximum thickness of the foil as a percentage of its chord, In this example, the foil thickness is 10 percent of its length; the maximum thickness of a 48 inch long foil is 4.8 inches.
		Reynolds numbers are used to compare the behavior of a foil in a fluid such as air at an altitude of 50,000 feet with that in water near the surface.
		To a greater or lesser degree, depending on the foil's surface roughness, chord length, and speed, this friction causes water moving next to the foil to slow down and "trip" the faster-flowing water a short distance from the foil surface.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
		The word "literature" as a common noun can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; "Literature" as a proper noun refers to a whole body of literary work, world-wide or relating to a specific culture.There is often confusion regarding the actual definition of literature and Literature.
		Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.

	The Strain Gage
		When a load is applied to the surface, the resulting change in surface length is communicated to the resistor and the corresponding strain is measured in terms of the electrical resistance of the foil wire, which varies linearly with strain.
		The foil diaphragm and the adhesive bonding agent must work together in transmitting the strain, while the adhesive must also serve as an electrical insulator between the foil grid and the surface.
		Foil elements are available with unit resistances from 120 to 5,000 ohms.

	Definition of Foil (literature)
		A foil character is either one who is in most ways opposite to the main character or nearly the same as the main character.
		The purpose of the foil character is to emphasize the traits of the main character by comparison or contrast.
		A foil is a secondary character who contrasts with a major character; in Hamlet, Laertes and Fortinbras, whose fathers have been killed, are foils for Hamlet.

	Label and Narrow Web - The Most Targeted Magazine in the Industry
		Foil stamping has traditionally been known as hot stamping, because of the heat and pressure combination that weds the foil to the substrate.
		Hot foil stamping is accomplished in one of two ways: the rotary method, in which the foil is applied in-line; or through the use of an off-line hot stamping press.
		It may come to pass that cold foil is a strong adversary to hot stamping, but Gallagher says that one strong disadvantage is in “the edge effect,” or what happens to very fine edges of foil in the cold transfer process.

		Compliant Foil Bearings, an advanced permanent magnet motor and high efficiency inverter technology to minimize operating, maintenance and repair costs; minimize installation space needs; produce totally oil free compressed air; and operate at unprecedented low noise levels.
		The breakthrough in foil bearing technology has become reality based upon the sustaining interest and support of our allies in government and industry who have seen the promise and potential offered by oil-free compliant foil gas bearings.
		The promise of foil bearings has always been in their design philosophy, namely to have a built-in ability to accommodate changing operating conditions, much like elements of the human anatomy.

		Figure 1 is a micrograph of the foil edge produced by conventional mechanical slitting procedures.
		This foil manufacturing breakthrough melts the foil, instead of tearing it, during the slitting process, resulting in consistently rounded edges.
		The use of this foil significantly increases the Discharge Inception Voltage (DIV) levels of the capacitor and endows the EX-7L with unprecedented performance capabilities.

	alufoil - European Aluminium Foil Association
		Conclusive evidence that aluminium foil packaging can be used safely in microwave ovens has been established by a study from the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV in Freising, Germany.
		The results dispel the myth that aluminium foil containers are unsafe for use in microwave ovens and prove that consumer fears about using alufoil packs in the microwave are unfounded.
		For example the study found that in the case of lasagne heated in a microwave oven its visual appearance was superior as a brown crust was formed on the surface.

	Critical Concepts: "Foil" and "Point of View"
		We are now in a better position to appreciate why a skillful use of foils is a crucial part of the repertoire of so many modern writers of short fiction - and why skillful readers of this fiction are so adept at recognizing foils at work and so aggressive in thinking through their significance.
		Or it is to deprive the reader of the exercise of intelligent empathy.
		Foils therefore offer the writer interested in psychological or social realism a way of maintaining the illusion of reality while at the same time maintaining the crucial distinction between art and life.

	commentary on Foil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The first thing to notice about this response is that the writer has defined the term "foil" using information from several sources.
		There is no parenthetical documentation at the end of the sentence since the source is a reference book which has the terms listed alphabetically, and we can assume that readers will know how to look up the word.
		Another good point about the definition is that the writer gives some examples to help us understand the role of a foil in literature; thus, he says, " a foolish character may place a wise character's wisdom in a stronger light, or a cowardly character may make the hero's actions appear even more courageous.
