The slight roughness of the lines, softening the plane edges without lessening the impact of the image, saves the painting from mechanical precision.

This became a symbol of the mechanical precision.

Unlike most instruments of mechanical precision, surface plates do not derive their precision from more-precise standards.

Does our increasing dependence upon technology make us believe that we, too, and the world about us, are merely part of some enormous mechanical process?

The problem was that to meet demand, the process had to be industrialized, and wood engraving 'ceased to be an art and became a mechanical process of facsimile reproduction'.

You find yourself locked into what quickly becomes a purely mechanical process of consumption as you try to avoid being singled out for not drinking enough.

The airways are exposed to high concentrations of organic dust created by some form of disturbance or mechanical process.

Although precise hand placement would qualify, precision seeding usually refers to a mechanical process.

But now boffins have constructed something from skin grafts and a mechanical pump.

The machine had interchangeable valves, total loss oil system with mechanical pump and an emergency hand one.

A later method uses a mechanical pump worked from one of the crossheads.

Like other mechanical pumps developed during the same period, hearts were susceptible to deterioration, failure and breakdown.

On one level a glass elevator lifts up the harvested grapes so that gravity, rather than mechanical pumps, can gently usher them into the twinkling stainless-steel vats.

Bad weather, dust storms and mechanical repair reduce availability.

They cover mechanical repairs for up to five years, but the cost of a repair may be considerably less than the cost of the warranty.

Aftermarket warranties are sold as insurance policies to cover most mechanical repairs once the manufacturer's guarantee runs out.

Together with his son, he owned a shop where they sold wheels, automobiles, motor bikes and even lawn mowers, as well as perform mechanical repairs.

Mechanical repairs took about two weeks.

The age of mechanical reproduction created monstrous sculptures, in vast quantity and size, wherever there was a tyrant to be feared.

Mechanical reproduction allows art to be used for political ends.

Image and cognition in the first age of mechanical reproduction 184pp.

In the midst of mechanical reproduction beyond his wildest dreams, we are more obsessed with aura than ever.

They are unique artefacts that can only be seen in a given place at a given time; they are not subject to mechanical reproduction.

Solder seals bond the glass to the electrode with a solder for a very strong mechanical seal, but are limited to low temperature operation.

In addition, due to the high pressure conditions, premature failure of the pump's mechanical seal and bearings can be expected.

Seal types can vary from pusher-type end face mechanical seal, non-pusher type end face mechanical seal, lip seals, and o-ring seals.

It provides enough space to remove the pump mechanical seal when doing maintenance, without moving either the pump body or the driver.

In 1939, the company invented the first automotive mechanical seal.

They settled in the sofas at the far end and began to play with some sort of mechanical toy.

The play retains its sparkle; here, though, it's like a shiny mechanical toy, buzzing and whirring, mildly diverting and inconsequential.

This exhibition presented a series of mechanical toy sculptures made of tin and wood.

His most common toys are mechanical toy chattering teeth of various sizes.

This applies most to niche categories, such as mechanical toys.

On engines with mechanical valve adjustment, excessive clearance causes noise from the valve train.

The high pressure combustion gases are released into the barrel at a rate which generates greater velocities than a mechanical valve could allow.

The way the blood flows through it should also reduce the risk of blood clots compared with mechanical valves.

Although mechanical valves last for decades, they require the lifelong use of blood thinners and, of course, carry the physical toll exacted by invasive surgery.

Many use mechanical valves made from smooth carbon.

But if they had to be placed on a mechanical ventilator the odds fell to a survival rate of just one in three.

A tracheotomy may be considered where a person will need to be on a mechanical ventilator for a long time.

They may have manual backup mechanisms to enable hand-driven respiration in the absence of power (such as the mechanical ventilator integrated into an anaesthetic machine).

Patients on mechanical ventilators are unable to speak, but emit a moaning sound, especially when disturbed.

Today even the very sickest of patients in induced comas and on mechanical ventilators have a much greater chance of survival than just a few weeks ago.
