DIN (or Deutsche Industrial Normale) is a series of uniformity standards developed in Germany, which apply to commonly manufactured items.

ASTM is an independent, not-for-profit standards-writing organization. They promulgate standards in many diverse technical disciplines. ASTM is the forum for a majority of standards in the USA, especially those related to plastic materials and products testing. ASTM writes standards and conducts educational training seminars (specifications, test methods and guides). ASTM does not conduct testing, listing, certifying, or enforcement of its standards.

DiffusiMAX does not have a Drug Identification Number. In many provinces, government insurance plans may cover the cost of DiffusiMAX if the drug compounded into it is part of the provincial formulary. Other provinces may have a schedule of covered compounding bases. For information on reimbursement with private insurers, please contact the insurer to determine eligibility for coverage.

QKB15S Keyboard Controllers are powered by +12 VDC usually from a wall transformer. The Q101, Q103, and Q137 Power modules provide DC power via a 6 pin female connector. The voltages available are +15VDC, -15VDC, and +5VDC - all well regulated. The keyboard controller has it's own internal regulator and only needs about 9VDC - 18VDC at less than 50ma. So you can provide power to the keyboard by a short cable from one of the modules. When you turn your system off, the keyboard will also go off. See similar questions...

DIN 43650 is the standard for a series of electrical connectors, which are commonly used with solenoid valves (especially those used on valves in hydraulics and pneumatics). Other applications include the connection special sensors, such as pressure switches, filter switches, optical, proximity and limit switches. See similar questions...

ASTM E679 is an ASTM International standard method for determination of odor thresholds. This standard was first published in 1979 as E679-79, when it replaced the static threshold "Syringe Method", ASTM D1391. In 1991, minor revisions were made and the standard was renumbered E679 -91. Most recently, in 2004, additional examples were added to the standard and the newest revision is published as E679-04. See similar questions...

Approximately 75% of ASTM’s income is derived from the sale of publications, primarily from standards. Other income is derived from annual administrative fees, and standards-related programs. ASTM does not verify that products are tested according to a standard. Many manufacturers, however, choose to indicate that a product has been tested according to an ASTM standard by providing such information on product labels or packaging. See similar questions...

Membership in ASTM is unrestricted and limited only by the boundaries of your interest in a particular area of standardization. See similar questions...

Synonyms: any single item on the Diseases Database can have many 'names'. Thus you will find chronic obstructive pulmonary disease if you search for it as COAD, COPD or chronic obstructive airways disease. Equivalents: e.g. hyperbilirubinaemia and jaundice. One is a physical sign , the other a biochemical abnormality. The threshold for clinically observable jaundice is higher than the upper limit of normal for serum bilirubin. See similar questions...

The idea of wish is that you read from <STDIN> and evaluate each statement. The standard way to do this in Perl/Tk is to use the tkpsh script that comes in your Perl/Tk build directory. Another elegant way to get wish like behavior in Perl/Tk is to use rmt which you can find in perl5/Tk/demos in your Perl/Tk distribution. When you run rmt you already have Tk.pm set up for you so you can start typing things like $mmm = new MainWindow; etc. at the rmt: prompt. See similar questions...

Every lens has a focal length which is a physical property of the lens. Once the lens is made, this cannot be changed. The field of view associated with a lens will be a function of the area projected by the lens that is captured by the camera. For 35mm film photography, this area is 36mm by 24mm. Note that if you change the area captured, the field of view also changes. See similar questions...

The Access Board’s standards provide that agencies may accept EIT offered by vendors which uses designs or technologies that do not meet the applicable technical provisions in Subpart B but provide substantially equivalent or greater access to and use of a product for people with disabilities. (See 36 CFR 1194.5.) This is referred to as "equivalent facilitation." Equivalent facilitation is not an exception or variance from the requirement to provide comparable access. See similar questions...

The easiest way to meet a prerequisite is to take the prerequisite at LBCC. For example, a student would normally take CHEM 1A at LBCC prior to enrolling in CHEM 1B. If the student took a course at another college which was equivalent to LBCC's CHEM 1A, it can be used to meet the prerequisite requirement for CHEM 1B. See similar questions...

For reference types, the equivalent of VB's Nothing is C#'s null. For value types, it's the default value - 0, false, etc. See similar questions...

For several months now, I've attempted to create a history or a background of information concerning current events within the world today. This was done so that I can link from this blog to the bulletin board when referencing a story or information concerning a topic posted here. In addition, I will be able to post Flash files and stuff like that by linking to the Pair-Annoyed site. See similar questions...

The Living Waters is a ministry of several central Minnesota churches that is unrelated to Spirit of the Heartland and Total Ministry. Two of the Spirit of the Heartland congregations and our Pastoral Mentor are involved in this ministry with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and other marginalized people. The primary program currently is St. Thecla's Guild. There will be no pressure on the other congregations to share this ministry, although they are always welcome to participate.

Although their "official" names are listed on top, we generally refer to them as 18mm, 11mm, 10mm, 8mm or 9.4mm, which is the actual spacing between pin #1 and pin #2. See similar questions...
