They were using vacuum tubes, very narrow, sloppy techniques to get actually binary behavior out of these radio vacuum tubes.

And on one particular day, the campers were jumping through inner tubes, They were diving through inner tubes. And I thought this would be great fun.

They were shrinking vacuum tubes, making them smaller and smaller.

The core comes up as these cylindrical tubes of limestone.

TS Yes, they're servos with cams that pinch these rubber tubes.

So you get 250 of these in the mail in little tubes.

Home cooking remained the norm, but its quality was down the tubes.

There were a dozen tubes coming in and out of my body.

And I took out a centrifuge and dry ice and needles and tubes.

These are the distances of the tubes which make it walk that way.

So, there's 40 of these tubes, like a V 40 engine running the memory.

His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.

His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.

So, the proportion of the tubes in this animal is very important for the walking.

So the valves at the bottom of those tubes there are like radio controlled airplane valves.

Some mad scientist is going to jab your arm with a needle and take four tubes of blood.

You're basically opening up the tubes that drain fluid from the middle ears, which have had them reliably full.

They actually used 6J6, the common radio tube, because they found they were more reliable than the more expensive tubes.

And indeed, this is just one of the examples of the junk that flows across the tubes in these Internets here.

It's a joint of tubes. You start by teaching angles an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, a straight angle.

And that was the end of the shrinking of vacuum tubes, but it was not the end of the exponential growth of computing.

The memory was in cathode ray tubes a whole bunch of spots on the face of the tube very, very sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances.

I had hoped my voice would be saved, but my doctors knew that the breathing tubes going down my throat might have already destroyed it.

What in the design that made the difference is the boarding tubes the boarding tube gives to the bus the same performance as a subway.

On the left you can see a lava tube forming at a recent eruption Mount Etna in Sicily and this is the way these tubes form.

So my doctor got the ENT, the top guy at the clinic, to come down and give me surgery to move the tubes around my voice box.

It is provided with its own powerhouse containing large diesel driven generators, air conditioning equipment, and cooling towers required to cool the thousands of vacuum tubes in the computer.

And we sat down, we did the physics of eggbeaters and self aligning tubes and all the rest of that kind of thing, sent it off to a journal.

In 1950s they were shrinking vacuum tubes, making them smaller and smaller. They finally hit a wall they couldn't shrink the vacuum tube any more and keep the vacuum.

Artist Theo Jansen demonstrates the amazingly lifelike kinetic sculptures he builds from plastic tubes and lemonade bottles. His creatures are designed to move and even survive on their own.

They took a DNA origami, organized some carbon nano tubes, made a little switch, you see here, wired it up, tested it and showed that it is indeed a switch.

About 20 percent of all the nation's programmers were wrapped up in this thing, and it led to an awful lot of what we have today. It also used vacuum tubes.

I know Bill Joy was talking to you about the wonders of carbon nanotubes, so I'm going to talk to you about the wonders of carbon macro tubes, which is charcoal.

In late 2004, the Mexican company CCL Container S.A. de C.V. de México, from which Cuba had ordered lithographed aluminium tubes for packaging cigars, was bought by a United States company.

Those guys drinking all the tea with sugar in it were writing in their logbooks, trying to get this thing to work, with all these 2,600 vacuum tubes that failed half the time.

The Elvie Pump however, is completely silent, has no wires or tubes and fits discreetly inside a nursing bra, giving women the freedom to move, hold their babies, and even go out while pumping.

An experienced scaffolder deals with about 120 steel tubes every day, each of which weighs 8 kg. In other words, each scaffolder does with steel pipes weighing as much as 1000 kg a day.

The company ECIMETAL had to redistribute the 4 million tubes it had ordered from this company among other suppliers, thereby losing a market that is near Cuba and had the potential to step up supplies.

But the problem was that the gamma detectors were these huge, bulky tubes, and they were filled with these scintillating crystals, and you just couldn't get them close enough around the breast to find small tumors.

So, we have just finished a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts Phase II study, looking at the irreducible set of technologies that you would need in order to actually allow people to inhabit lava tubes on the Moon or Mars.

Following this, the company's foreign branch increased its prices to uncompetitive levels, toughened financial conditions for negotiation, failed to honour a signed contract for 1.1 million tubes and, lastly, announced its decision to break off relations with its Cuban counterpart.

Well to start to do this, we took a 3D printer and we started to print our beakers and our test tubes on one side and then print the molecule at the same time on the other side and combine them together in what we call reactionware.

Suddenly, I had a body, a body that was pricked and poked and punctured, a body that was cut wide open, a body that had organs removed and transported and rearranged and reconstructed, a body that was scanned and had tubes shoved down it, a body that was burning from chemicals.

Apart from noise problems, research animals are often housed in small cages with no source of enrichment, such as wheels, shelves, or tubes. Such devices enable animals to exert some control over their environment, such as escaping an attack from a cage mate by moving to another level in the cage or hiding.

Moore's Law was just the last part of that, where we were shrinking transistors on an integrated circuit, but we had electro mechanical calculators, relay based computers that cracked the German Enigma Code, vacuum tubes in the 1950s predicted the election of Eisenhower, discreet transistors used in the first space flights and then Moore's Law.
