	Wire entanglement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The entanglement could in some places be scores of metres thick and several metres deep, with the entire space filled with a random, tangled mass of barbed wire.
		Entanglements were often not created deliberately, but by pushing together the mess of wire formed when conventional barbed wire fences had been damaged by artillery shells.
		Wire entaglements, together with machine guns, were responsible for many casualties in the trench warfare of World War I.

	Wire obstacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Depending on the requirements and available resources, wire obstacles may range from a simple barbed wire fence in front of a defensive position, to elaborate patterns of fences, concertinas, "dragon's teeth" and minefields hundreds of metres thick.
		One example is the "low wire entanglement", which consists of irregularly placed stakes that have been driven into the ground with only some 15 cm (six inches) showing; the barbed wire is then wrapped and tightened on to these.
		The "knife rest" or "Spanish rider" is a modern wire obstacle functionally similar to the cheval de frise, and sometimes called that.

	Lone Sentry: Barbed-Wire Obstacles, German (WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, September 1943)
		On beaches, barbed wire is usually erected in straight lines, parallel to the shore and in front of fortified areas.
		In conjunction with road blocks, a wire fence or entanglement is often erected on each side of the road, and the gap between is closed by movable gates of various types.
		Wire obstacles in depth are usually installed in places where they will be screened as far as possible against observation by opposing forces.

	Process for producing an anisotropically electroconductive sheet - Patent 4209481
		The length of conductive wires 3 is essentially the same as the thickness of elastomeric sheet 2, and typically both ends of the wires are exposed on the surface of the sheet 2.
		While the wire groupings 6 of the present invention have been shown having a cross-sectional pattern in the plane of the elastomer sheet 2 which is substantially circular in shape, it is anticipated by the present invention that the wire groupings 6 may be of patterns other than a circular pattern.
		Some of the wires become attached to the surface of the containing plates or film sheets during the pouring of the starting mixture into the mold, and it is these wires which are not affected by a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the sheet.

		Four gaps were blown in the wire with bangalores and the men went across the beach flat at the double, then slowed to a crawl on the steep hillside.

		Their ordinary field-gun shell did not damage the wire or us in our good trenches, but a round plum pudding mortar bomb, which had no point and made no crater, swept a large area of the entanglement.
		It was easy to blow holes in the wire, but with our time fuses, the main results were deep craters which filled with water and mud in a night and made a worse obstruction than the wire which they replaced.
		In front was a twenty-foot-wide ditch filled with the latest type of barbed wire entanglement, and on a rise near the guns was a prepared control post for me to control the guns by megaphone.

	MINE-BLASTER: The APOBS Breaching Weapon
		And while the torpedo is effective against single impulse anti-personnel mines, it's only marginally successful against high-tensile strength wire obstacles, which would necessitate the need for multiple torpedoes to breech wire.
		One of the limits of the APOBS is that it is a standoff weapon, and cannot be employed effectively in situations where there isn't 25-35 meters of distance (not necessarily open space) between the launcher and the obstacle.
		In addition, the APOBS is a no-more, no-less system; with the Bangalore if all you need to breech is a 10-foot wide wire entanglement, you need only use two 5 foot sections, whereas with the APOBS you use all 150 feet of line charge when it is fired.

	Quantum Entanglement and Information
		He found this conclusion sufficiently unsettling to suggest that the entanglement between two separating systems would persist only for distances small enough that the time taken by light to travel from one system to the other could be neglected, compared with the characteristic time periods associated with other changes in the composite system.
		This was unfortunate, because the study of entanglement was ignored for thirty years until John Bell's reconsideration and extension of the EPR argument.
		The input control wire is a probe for the presence of absence of a property, represented by a 1 or a 0.

		Other types of wire displayed are freak wires, modern wires, vicious wires, ornamental wire, wire splices, net wires, wire tighteners, planter wires, modified wires, handmade wires and more.
		Most of the barbed wires are made from metal although there is the odd one made from other materials such as rope.

		To the west, and out of contact, the two sections from the 116th had cut the wire and dashed across the flat, but mines stopped them near the start of the hillside and they took shelter in a ditch.

		A wire transfer from Vienna City Hall via a cable running through the sewer system to a bank a few blocks away has marked the first real-world use of cryptography that takes advantage of the weird quantum phenomenon of entanglement.
		And although the first laboratory demonstration of entanglement-based quantum cryptography occurred in 1998, the Vienna wire transfer is the first public demonstration that entangled particles can survive the rigors of practical application.
		On April 21, 2004, researchers from the University of Vienna in Austria, ARC Seibersdorf Research GmbH in Austria, the University of Munich in Germany, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences transferred a secret encryption key using the perfectly secure entangled-state quantum cryptography demonstration system connecting Vienna City Hall and Bank Austria Creditanstalt.
