	Patent 4351510: Flow regulator assembly
		This invention is a flow regulator which is adapted to be installed in a pipeline, incorporating a modified means of aligning and clamping the regulator between flanges.
		The flange plate 13 is constructed and arranged to capture the flow regulator 10 adjacent to it and against the flange plate 12.
		The modified flow regulator of this disclosure, in comparison with the flow regulator shown in the copending patent application, utilizes the pipeline as the surrounding sleeve to define the flow space where regulation occurs.

	IFM Review
		Political capture of the regulator is a permanent possibility since the general public and the political constituencies believe that they are parties to the contract and the government acts as their representative in its fulfillment.
		Commercial capture is also a possibility since the concessionaire is interested in a smooth development of the contract, needs to guarantee the return on the investments made, and must preserve the stability of the business.
		A clear separation of roles between the regulator and the public authorities is necessary to preserve the stability of the contract and to avoid political capture.

	Free-market environmentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Research at Amoco concluded that were the money that is currently spent on meeting regulations instead spent on reducing pollution, in ways that the company itself was already able to identify, the net benefits to the environment would be greater.
		Furthermore, the demands of regulation seldom appeal to the social conscience of industries or individuals and violation is often seen as legitimate business practice.
		Many free market environmentalists argue that the problem of regulator capture whereby large companies play a large role in setting regulations has created a system where things are far too biased in favor of large companies.

		The voltage/current regulator can be used to adjust the voltage and current discharged to the water and usually includes a timing circuit to keep track of the amount of time the current has been applied to the water.
		Both the power supply and regulator are mounted to a backpack frame to be carried by the operator, and should be weather resistant.
		In most situations pulsed DC current is used with the shocker set to a higher pulse frequency and higher voltage for small fish such as juvenile salmonids and a lower pulse frequency and lower voltage for larger fish however, the conductivity of the water is a significant factor in determining the voltage required.

		One of the most unfortunate effects of this erosion of regulator capacity, was the fact that the new community radio sector, having duly and at considerable expense applied for 4 year licences at the expiry of their first short term licenses, were asked instead to apply annually for temporary licences.
		The justification for the regulation of broadcasting (as opposed to the print media, where regulation would constitute the infringement of media freedom) is that the electromagnetic spectrum is a finite public resource.
		Convergence should be recognised by separating the regulation of the transmission of electronic signals and the infrastructure over which the signals are transported from the regulation of content such as information society services or broadcasting, each of which should be regulated according to its own nature, not the means of transport.

	5.Ireland
		Regulation in Ireland is used to regulate monopolies (to ensure competitive behaviour for allocative efficiency), to ensure equality (a primary policy objective), to correct externalities, to provide information and to stop ôexcessiveõ competition.
		Regulator capture expresses the idea that, if companies are publicly owned, politicians are also responsible for the performance of the firm and may therefore be more concerned with keeping down costs rather than increasing them to maintain environmental standards.
		Regulation, however, is particularly relevant in Ireland because of the constraints placed on government spending because of the national debt.

		Regulators can want to lie with labels, however, either due to regulatory capture or to correct for market imperfections.
		Thus even ideal regulators want to ban products which are bad enough, rather than live with the choices of ignorant consumers.
		When regulators and parents are forbidden from banning, however, consumers and children take regulator labels and parental warnings more seriously.

	The Manager - Updated Weekly
		New regulation must be subjected to consultation with affected groups and with some sort of cost-benefit analysis performed, a process known as "reg-neg".
		It is suggested that this can sometimes lead to "regulatory capture" where the regulator gets too close to the businesses and agrees to guidelines which established businesses can meet but which pose competitive hurdles to new entrants.
		The regulator used to have a check list covering every line item, including the type faces and sizes to be used.

		If you put the later voltage regulator on the earlier generator, it will regulate at 30 amps, and the life of the generator can be expected to be reduced.
		I decided that the after market regulator that came with the car when purchased was the most probable problem followed by a bad generator.
		The mounting of the regulator is on the left wall of the engine compartment rather than on the sub-frame where the after market one had been installed.

		In all cases, the regulator must operate as efficiently as possible, not just to avoid taxing the battery but also to avoid dissipating heat into the cluttered but minuscule space inside a cell phone.
		Linear regulator types-now called LDOs (for their "low-dropout" capability)-were preferred because they would put a minimum of noise on the output voltage rail, and cell phone designers would count on the LDO's minimal ripple to keep the noise from creeping into the RF carrier generated by the cell phone's miniature transmitter.
		Some switching regulator manufacturers, such as Linear Technology Corp. (Milpitas, Calif.), developed resonant-frequency devices, which would produce a minimum of ripple on the output (or, certainly, a ripple that was easily filterable).

		The bias towards civil servants was best demonstrated in the appointment of the power sector regulator, where the job was kept vacant for a year to enable the former power secretary AK Basu to superannuate and take charge.
		Regulation calls for a thorough understanding of increasingly complicated issues and for many skills, not one of which has anything to do with administration.

	TELECOMMUNICATIONS WITHOUT ECONOMIC REGULATION (Part One)
		The idea of telecommunications without any form of economic regulation, not even a marketing tribunal, would likely be met with trepidation by regulated telecommunications companies.
		Without a regulator to "capture" so as to protect their commercial interests, they would likely initiate some kind of action that would result in the re-introduction of regulations.
		In this day and age, economic regulation is the policy of a government that may already have been hijacked by politically-favoured, regulated industries which have successfully "captured" regulators, related government officials and even an elected member of the government, for the purpose of protecting their own commercial interest.

	Furman - AR-Pro AC Line Voltage Regulator - [Sam Ash] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The AR-PRO AC Line Voltage Regulator is intended to protect computer, audio, video and other electronic equipment from problems caused by AC line voltage irregularities - sags, brownouts, or overvoltages that can cause sensitive digital equipment to malfunction, or, in extreme cases, to sustain damage.
		And unlike voltage regulators that employ ferro-resonant transformers, the AR-PRO is not sensitive to small errors in line frequency, making it ideal for use with generators.
		All outlets are regulated, spike-suppressed, and filtered against RFI with a 3-pole filter.

		But already there were stirrings of change that foresighted regulators could see were creating opportunities for a competitive communications industry--if not smashed in the cradle by regulatory over-zeal (new word meaning overkill).
		Furthermore, he noted that regulation begets itself: TELRIC pricing, if low enough, precludes facilities-based entrants from the markets, which is in turn used as evidence that no facilities-based entry is possible, thus justifying the initial move to impose resale "competition" through unbundling.
		Finally, he noted that the consumer harms from mis-begotten regulation are much higher in an arena of rapid technological change as opposed to a stable one.
