41. NTSB investigators found that wiring damage led to excessive electrical current when power was applied to the cargo-loading unit. 42. Or, by running low electrical current through the structure, the sensors can analyze the minuscule vibrations to detect potential weaknesses and predict where a structure might fail. 43. Once the errant tissue is pinpointed, the physician sends electrical currents through the catheter to burn the tissue away. 44. Plastic-covered pliers handles are for comfort only, not protection from electrical current. 45. Peterson started by measuring the moisture on the surface of the building using a battery-powered prod that measures the change in electrical currents from moisture. 46. Rinaldo and Rodriguez-Iturbe took as a hint the way that electrical current flows through a complicated set of wires and resistors. 47. Some companies, for example, are using electrical currents to drive the drugs into the skin. 48. Since then, Dr. Joseph Paradiso, a researcher at the Media Lab, and his students have developed various shoe inserts that convert walking energy into electrical current. 49. Some of the needles are then attached to a device that sends out an electrical current. 50. So far, no evidence of electrical currents jumping from one wire to another has been found. |
