  Brake band for bringing the saw chain of a motor-driven chain saw to standstill - Patent 4949818
The brake band of claim 4, wherein the spray powder for said thermally-applied friction layer is applied in the form of a spray powder having a grain size lying in the range of 30 to 40.mu.m.
Materials which were previously not used because of their low coefficients of friction can now likewise be used in the manufacture of brake bands.
In the embodiment shown, the one end 10 of the brake band 1 is held on a bolt 11 fixed to the housing with the brake band 1 leading away from bolt 11 in the direction of rotation 12 of the brake drum 2.

  PSRD: Bands on Europa
Lineations within the band (main dark blue map unit) are generally parallel to this trough and are broadly similar in width and style on either side of the trough.
Axial troughs, present in Bands A, B, and D correspond to the center of symmetry in each band and are interpreted as the place where band material welled up and spread out.
Based on their geological mapping and observations of the high-standing topography of the bands, Prockter and colleagues conclude that the material that formed the Europan bands was compositionally or thermally buoyant ice, rather than liquid water.

 Material soaks up the sun TRN 121102
When they made their surprising discovery, the researchers were investigating the mysterious lack of emissions from the material at the conventionally understood band gap of two electron volts.
The efficiency of a material has to do with microscopic measurements: the band gap, or spacing between the levels electrons occupy in a material, and the wavelengths of solar radiation.
Indium nitride is important because its band gap sits squarely in the middle of the light spectrum; this makes it possible to produce gallium-indium-nitride semiconductors that have any gap within the solar spectrum range, and makes it possible to put more semiconductors in tandem, said Walukiewicz.

 Band Theory for Solids
In insulators the electrons in the valence band are separated by a large gap from the conduction band, in conductors like metals the valence band overlaps the conduction band, and in semiconductors there is a small enough gap between the valence and conduction bands that thermal or other excitations can bridge the gap.
Most solid substances are insulators, and in terms of the band theory of solids this implies that there is a large forbidden gap between the energies of the valence electrons and the energy at which the electrons can move freely through the material (the conduction band).
In the band theory, this is depicted as an overlap of the valence band and the conduction band so that at least a fraction of the valence electrons can move through the material.

 Material grabs more sun TRN 042104
A bandgap is the energy required to push an electron from a material's valence band to the conduction band where electrons are free to flow.
The difference between the material's valence band and first conduction band, or the amount of energy needed to push an electron from one to the other, provided a bandgap that absorbs photons that contain 1.8 electron volt.
A junction between the two types of materials creates a place where, when photons are absorbed, electrons move to the p-type material and holes toward the n-type to create an electrical current.

 A Step Closer to the Optimum Solar Cell
In their latest discovery—what Yu calls "a totally new material concept"—the researchers treat the alloy zinc manganese tellurium (ZnMnTe) in such a way that a single junction of the material may be able to respond to virtually the entire solar spectrum.
The band gap is the amount of energy, expressed in electron volts (eV), required to kick an electron from a semiconductor's valence band, which is chock full of electrons bound to atoms, into its empty conduction band, where electrons are free to move.
The advantage of indium gallium nitride, the first material the Berkeley Lab researchers proposed for a full-spectrum solar cell, is that the crystal lattice of all the different layers is the same.

The band ratio is sensitive to the relative absorption in a spectrum at two wavelengths.
The band depth images from Clark et al., 1988 were quite noisy, mostly due to the noisy AVIRIS data during the 1987 flight season.

 FAQ Speargun Bands   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Bands must be strong (have a high modulus), store energy efficiently for hours at a time (have little soak off), and be durable enough to resists cuts and rotting.
This is not the strength of the material, but is instead a ratio of the strength to the elongation.
As your bands age, you should begin to see cracks in the rubber, especially around the fat part of your wishbone (where the bands bulge out).

 Striking Effects of Nitrogen in Semiconductor Alloy Explained
This discovery by the Berkeley Lab-NREL collaboration, which is sponsored by the Photovoltaic Materials Project of the Department of Energy's Center for Excellence in Synthesis and Processing, is of fundamental significance to the understanding of semiconductor alloys and may suggest new approaches to the fabrication of highly efficient solar cells.
The band gap is the difference in energy between a semiconductor's valence band, which is filled with electrons, and its conduction band, which is empty.
By depositing thin layers of gallium indium phosphide with a band gap of 1.8 electron volts (eV) on layers of gallium arsenide with a band gap of 1.4 eV, NREL investigators created a tandem solar cell with proven 30-percent efficiency— compared to efficiencies of 10 to 16 percent typical of silicon.

 Who Owns a Band's Master Recordings? by Alan Korn
But absent any written agreement between the band members concerning copyright ownership (which is sometimes included in a written band partnership agreement), the sound recordings probably belong equally to all three members as joint authors.
However, the band is quite popular locally and a recording studio offers the band free recording time, with the understanding that the studio will be reimbursed if the band later becomes successful.
Unless there was a bidding war, or the band later achieves superstar status and acquires added leverage, most record companies will insist on owning the copyrights to master recordings made during the contract period.

 The Frogs (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With pseudo-racially-charged songs, their label was unwilling to release it (although it was distributed freely by fans, and was finally released on CD in 2000).
Jay Tiller left the band in 1992, to be replaced by Damian Strigens, although there were several substitutes in the meantime, including such notables as Eddie Roeser from Urge Overkill and Kelley Deal from The Breeders.
In the meantime, another LP of old improvised material called Bananimals was released in 1999 on the Four Alarm label, and the unreleased Racially Yours album soon followed in 2000.

 The Band: A Musical History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The band returned to a folksier basis for their music, largely abandoning the blues that had so heavily informed the sound of The Hawks.
The Band's aborted attempt at "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" could position them alongside the Carter Family, but they continually resist that background by overlapping their vocal lines with just a bit of premeditated imprecision.
Although The Band had suitable commercial success, its inheritors in terms of place tend to be figures in the margins, both in the music world and in culture.

Their post Band careers bore out that it was the synthesis of the 5 of them that created this history.
Although all this seminal band's recordings have been remastered with bonus tracks on individual CDs this set is a pretty good place to gather their essential songs along with about 2 CD's worth of previously unreleased material.
Since The Band's catalog has been remastered before (and sounds great) this might be a great gift for a fan who hasn't upgrade their CD collection yet or who simply won't buy this for themeselves because they have much of the material.

 Sonic's Rendezvous Band
He decided the direction of the band, which songs the group would perform and what material would best represent the creative focus of the band; I was responsible for putting those decisions into practice and making them happen.
And don't kid yourself: beyond the Mack Aborn material, much of the rest is garbage, deleted from the Sonic's Rendezvous repertoire long ago, music which Fred Smith did not ever intend to release or care to continue being associated with and that includes the silly "Electrophonic Tonic".
Dumbing down and rewriting Fred’s lyrics, re-recording a mortifying amount of the band's material, several songs more than once, is just weird; particularly when it's the same material he once complained about and despised playing when the band was a actual functioning unit.
