	Gray (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gray (symbol: Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed dose.
		One gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter.
		The gray was defined in 1975 in honor of Louis Harold Gray (1905-1965), who used a similar concept, “that amount of neutron radiation which produces an increment of energy in unit volume of tissue equal to the increment of energy produced in unit volume of water by one röntgen of radiation,” in 1940.

		Gray was one of the Yankees who "pillaged" a house, pulling out furniture and breaking it up on the sidewalk.
		Gray said some guys took note of how hard it was to break the chairs' frames and will keep that in mind the next time they're in the market for furniture.
		Gray's unit is able to keep that to a minimum by reenacting a prewar militia unit.

	Louis Harold Gray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		In a 1940 paper, Gray and Read employed their energy unit, "that amount of neutron radiation which produces an increment of energy in unit volume of tissue equal to the increment of energy produced in unit volume of water by one röntgen of radiation".
		The unit became known as a centre for radiation chemistry, and studies were carried on the irradiation of bacteria, and of tumours.
		Gray was Vice Chairman of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) from 1956 to 1962, and assisted in the formation of the IARR.

	Diary of William Fairfax Gray, Virginia to Texas, 1835-1837 (wg_r014.htm)
		Gray engaged in a variety of activities suitable to a man of his social and professional standing.
		In 1819 Gray received a promotion to the rank of major, and the next year Governor Thomas M. Randolph commissioned him a lieutenant colonel, giving him the rank that served as a common prefix to his name for the rest of his life.
		Gray was an officer in that organization for the next eight years and in December 1831 became district deputy grand master.

	SA unit leads in Aids research - SouthAfrica.info
		The trendy offices of the Perinatal HIV Research Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto are a far cry from the poky broom closet its directors James McIntyre and Glenda Gray started out in when they embarked on their mission 10 years ago to find ways of preventing mother-to-child infection of HIV.
		Now the unit, which occupies several floors of the hospital's New Nurses Home, a large square building west of the hospital, employs 200 staff members, conducts myriad research programmes and is an international player in the field of HIV/Aids research.
		The unit was pivotal in changing the mindset of the World Health Organisation, which prescribed that HIV-positive women in developed countries should formula feed while those in developing countries should breastfeed, in the belief that the health risks for formula feeding in Third World countries outweighed the risk of HIV transmission.

		It is one of the standard units for radiation dosimitry, but is not applicable to alpha, beta, or other particle emission and does not accurately predict the tissue effects of gamma rays of extremely high energies.
		The rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in terms of the energy actually deposited in the tissue.
		The more recent SI unit is the gray, which is defined as 1joule of deposited energy per kilogram of tissue.

		Gray, who attended the school as a child, has been called into active duty along with the rest of her Black River Falls National Guard unit.
		Gray has tried to be positive about the assignment, jokingly referring to it as "a year long vacation with a lot of sand." Nevertheless, it's hard to be cheerful when she thinks leaving her children Ryan, eight, and Savannah, six, with her parents in Eau Claire.
		Gray was appointed to head the mess section about two months ago, so she faces a quick transition.

	Output circuit for gray scale control, testing apparatus thereof, and method for testing output circuit for gray scale ...
		A gray scale control circuit for outputting gray scale signals is separated into the high side and the low side, thereby enabling the output-current characteristics to be controlled to be close to the γ characteristics of a light emitting device.
		Herein, in the conventional gray scale control unit 1101a, electrical characteristics of the second MISFET 1102a and the third MISFET 1103a are homogenized mutually, and the gate electrodes thereof are both connected to the gate bias supply line 1115, thereby together constituting the current mirror circuit.
		From the D/A converters, currents having magnitudes corresponding gray scale data are supplied to the TFTs and the pixels, thereby enabling a gray scale display with the organic EL panel.
