As for unsightly wires, the Audyssey Wireless Speakers have two: the unavoidable power cord (with a chunky power supply) as well as a thin black-and-red cable that connects the left and right channels. (You may want to replace this with more discreet, clear speaker wire if you can't hide it somehow.) Both make the speakers better suited to a permanent set-up than on-the-go listening.

The batteries could then be used as a power supply for the European Space Agency's (Esa) spacecraft.
Babcock builds smaller nuclear units of 100 megawatts, which can also be aggregated together to supply as much power as a base-load nuclear generator, or 1, 000 megawatts.

Also, since the necessarily erratic nature of wind power necessitates the development of energy-storage technologies to guarantee continuous supply, wind power can also act as a spur to the development of a hydrogen economy in which cars no longer require petroleum fuel.
Power-Over-Ethernet could end up being a universal power supply for much computer hardware as the cables and connectors for it are the same all over the world.
If these USB displays provide as high a viewing experience as HDMI cable displays and supply the display power as well it may be that USB will eventually displace HDMI due to the higher production volumes and consequently lower costs for USB cables.
Before Fukushima, a "nuclear renaissance" -- as it was termed in the press -- seemed well underway, except for this point: Nuclear power, as a total of world energy supply, has been in steady decline for the past decade.
An external power supply is included with the unit, however Forte can also operate as a USB powered interface.

Those high-cost contracts were seen as a way of assuring the state's power supply at reasonable rates, but after the crisis, when prices fell, they appeared much too costly.
And micro-grids are getting a good luck, as they could supply the necessary power to the local gas station, supermarket, emergency shelter, police and fire station until the larger systems are restored.

The M78 also carries a UL Environment Gold rating and, as an option, can use a highly efficient 80 Plus Platinum power supply unit (PSU).

Many in the utility industry worry that the most vulnerable part of the power system is its work force, as a wave of retirements is depleting the supply of linemen and other craftsmen who keep the lights on.
Not that the executive is about to accept Intel's position that ARM isn't meant for performance, as he saw the architecture scaling to high speeds whenever there was a large enough power supply to back it up.

Each unit can also serve as a source of electrical power for the military, or emergency response, something always in short supply in forward operating positions.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: Value of Jake as a ready innovation base
To keep power flowing reliably, grid operators must smooth out supply and demand on a second-to-second basis (known as frequency regulation), an hourly basis (intermittency), and on a daily, weekly, and annual basis (meeting peak demand).
