	Bolt extracting tool - Patent 4713990
		The biting edges of a toothed bit are forced into a damaged bolt or the like and rotated by operation of an impact wrench coupled to the toothed bit to rotationally disengage and extract the damaged bolt.
		Biting edge 34 includes a peripheral end 38 disposed away from the body axis 20 and an inner portion 40 between the peripheral end 38 and the body axis 20.
		According to this embodiment, biting edge 34 is inclined towards shank end 22 from the peripheral end 38 of edge 34 to the inner portion 40 of edge 34.

	Operation Biting - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		During World War II, Operation Biting was a Combined Operations raid to capture components of a German Wuerzburg radar set at Bruneval, France, on 27/28 February, 1942.
		On 5 December a low level reconnaissance flight by Tony Hill took very clear front and side pictures of the Wuerzburg radar with a person in the frame which allowed the size of the radar dish about 3 meters (10 feet) in diameter to be assesed.
		The success of Operation Biting was splashed across the British press and went some way to improve the publics' morale after a string of failures of which the armed forces attempt to stop the German Channel Dash two weeks earlier was a recent example.

		The Battle of Arnhem was an airborne operation by the Allies, between the 17th and 26th of September 1944 during the Second World War, to secure a bridgehead over the Rhine, thereby opening the way for a thrust towards the Ruhr and a possible early end to the war.
		The Battle of Britain had been intended as a preliminary to the German invasion plan Operation Sea Lion, which Hitler indefinitely postponed on the 17th of September and abandoned on the 10th of October, choosing instead to invade the USSR, and the bombing raids were switched to civilian targets.
		The Battle of Imphal was an Allied operation in 1944 during the Second World War to hold Japanese forces back from an important road junction in the Manipur district of north-east India, 600 km north-west of Calcutta.

		Freya operated in the band from 2.5 to 2.3 meters / 120 to 130 MHz, with a pulse width of 3 microseconds, a peak power output of 15 to 20 kW, and a PRF of 500 Hz.
		The Telefunken radar operated in the range of 54 to 53 cm / 553 to 566 MHz, an extremely short wavelength for the time, with a pulse length of 2 microseconds, a peak power of 7 to 11 kW, and a PRF of 3,750 Hz.
		He told the operators on Malta to go on using the radars as if they were perfectly effective, and local expertise managed to come up with some ways of "looking through" the jamming.

	Operation control system for a shredder - Patent 5207390
		The refuse 20 at the refuse throw-in section 3 is fed to a shredding section (shredder main body) 9 while being crushed by the compression feeder 2, and it is shredded by the hammers 7 and the cutter bar 6.
		Under the condition where the compression feeder 2 is normally biting refuse 20 and crushing it, the current value i.sub.c of the C.F. drive motor 34 for the compression feeder 2 is larger than a predetermined value.
		That is, under the condition where the compression feeder 2 is normally biting refuse 20 and feeding it to the shredding section 9 while crushing it, as the shredding section 9 shreds the refuse 20, the current i.sub.s of the shredder motor 243 becomes larger than a no load current i.sub.s0.

	Aquatint. Beguin.
		The purpose of graining is to protect the plate during the biting process in such a way that the biting forms a series of little hollows.
		For example, biting should not last longer than 5 or 6 minutes with a 33°B mordant (whose action is rapid and superficial) whereas a 46° solution can be left to bite the plate as long as twenty minutes.
		Once the biting has begun, the pan must be rocked back and forth so that the fl liquid produced by the biting washes off the plate and is followed, without interruption, by a wave of fresh mordant.

	REGIMENTAL HISTORY
		During the 1960s The Regiment was involved in operations in Cyprus in 1964 (1 Para), Radfan in 1964 (3 Para), Borneo in 1965 (2 Para) and Aden in 1967 (1 Para).
		The operation was hurriedly mounted and resulted in a scattered drop (the drop zone being selected in the air by the lead aircraft) fortunately unopposed, at Depienne.
		Divisions normally are equipped to operate independently in the field, and thus have a full internal complement of supporting reconnaissance (one or two cavalry regiments in the light role), artillery (in modern times three or four regiments), engineers (about three squadrons), medical, supply and transport, etc.

	"Beyond the Threshold of the Letter" by Renato Barilli
		Lora Totino, that is, repeats the operation of biting off phonemes also in sound: "he records on tape the result of cancellations brought about by electronic means, thereby obtaining sharp caesurae.
		This was a legitimate and pioneering operation not so much on the side of the "concrete" poets, who already then were working in this way, but for those like Spatola, "men of letters" who until that point had been living in the shadow of the Novissimi.
		When the artist wished to pay homage to public stereotypes, and even if the legitimacy of dealing the "material of expression' was recognized, he or she would catch it as a fragment or particle derived from exact and impersonal forms of typography.

	My Nail Biting Message Board!
		When I was much younger, I was on a boat once, and I saw this older man biting and biting and biting away, and I really have to say it was not a pretty sight.
		There are many reasons that people bite their nails but nail-biting is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
		My 2 year old, when I first saw her bite, I made another commitment to stop, and she stopped, and I try to avoid it when she's around, because if she sees me--she thinks it's cute or something and starts putting her hands in her mouth--like it's cute.
