1. Adrian Crisan, a Compaq software engineer, came up with a conversion mechanism that uses tiny magnets that are attached to the shaft of each key. 2. Ferromagnetic materials owe their properties to an enormous number of embedded tiny magnets, called domains. 3. In a device dubbed a magnetic resonance force microscope, a tiny magnet affixed to the cantilever would allow it sense the location and identity of the individual atoms. 4. Instead of electrical charge, hard disks store data in what is essentially a vast array of tiny magnets. 5. Many molecules act as tiny magnets, but molecules tend to line up in an alternating up-and-down pattern that cancels out the magnetic field. 6. New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu uses dozens of tiny magnets taped to his body. 7. Preprogrammed electronic impulses from the computer set up a sequence of magnetic fields around the head to guide the tiny magnet on course to the tumor. 8. Particles of solution are polarized, taking on the characteristics of tiny magnets. 9. The factory produces tiny magnets for computers, anti-lock brakes, ignition switches and the like. 10. Usually, tiny magnets have been glued around the back of the picture tube to correct image quality faults. |
