The difference in composition between the two liquid metals gives rise to a voltage.
Instead, the coil is pulled through the external magnetic field, which induces a voltage across it.
Applying a voltage to the gate determines whether or not current can flow through the channel.
When a voltage is applied, the electrostatic force that results either attracts the two mirrors together, or pushes them apart.
When a voltage was applied at the ends of the yarns, these ions moved into the fibres, causing them to expand.
When a voltage is applied across the coating, the window darkens, allowing less light to enter but still permitting a view.
At one million volts, one of the guns had a voltage 20 times that of the 50, 000 volt weapons carried by police.
On Monday the BBC had revealed how stun guns with a voltage 20 times stronger than police Taser weapons can be easily bought online.
He enters an electronics store and picks up a voltage stabilizer.
Operating with a voltage of 1.35V, according to Samsung tests it provides an average 70% power savings (per unit density) over a 50nm class equivalent, 1.5V DDR3-based RDIMM.

Each glass sheet has rows of conducting wires running across it, and the two sets of wires are at right angles, so that a voltage can be applied across the liquid crystal at any chosen intersection.
Although the exact mechanism is still not entirely understood, it turns out that illuminating the liquid crystal, applying a voltage across a small region of it, and then turning off the light source causes a small amount of charge to be stored in that region.
The resin within the carbon layers is laced with lithium ions, so that each layer acts like an electrode, causing the positively charged lithium ions to collect in one layer when a voltage is applied, and a current to flow when the sandwich is placed in a circuit.
Local controllers (X-NET) gather this information and deliver to a web-controller via GPRS. The overhead sensors are line powered, and the X-NET Controller can be powered by a low voltage supply or a solar panel.
Like scoreboards, they also rely on modules, consisting of rows of LEDs illuminated at a lower voltage than most scoreboards and controlled over a secured Internet connection.
As eardrum vibrations naturally create a usable voltage from brain signals, the prototype can build enough charge in a capacitor to drive a very low-power wireless transmitter that relays the electrochemical properties of the ear and potentially diagnoses balance or hearing problems.

Severinsky's bright idea was to run the electric motor on a high voltage--say, 40 times the 14 volts that is standard for the electrical system in a gasoline car with a 12-volt battery.
The company is working on a 900-voltage design using a federal grant.
FORBES: Google-backed Transphorm Raises $25M For Power Conversion Tech
Gourmet or premium power refers to highly-reliable electric power supplies that deliver service within a narrow voltage range and without harmonic distortions.
To send power miles away without huge line losses demanded that electricity be stepped up to a high voltage, then stepped down again at the receiving end.
Matt Pauker is a co-founder of Voltage Security, a provider of enterprise software and encryption services.
FORBES: The Epsilon Hack Attack: Time For "SOX For Consumers"?
New focus Sharyland Utilities built a high-voltage line to connect Texas with Mexico's power grid.
The repeater is a like a high-voltage machine gun, for example, but with different upgrades and ammo.
In a 2004 corporate report Toyota said the key to the improvements was its decision to switch to a high-voltage system.
With a big enough voltage between cathode and anode, they will leap at great speed from the one to the other.
Wiens, 27, was injured in 2008 when he was volunteering at his church and his head got too close to a high-voltage power line.
Substations and transformer boxes eventually reduce the power to the 110 volts that toast your muffin in the morning, but the electrical noise on a high-voltage line can destroy data signals immediately.
