This process is not dissimilar to piston engine ignition systems. A step up transformer or "ignition coil" provides a high voltage spark. A DC current is applied to the transformer primary and is interrupted by contacts in a trembler mechanism. The trembler mechanism is operated by the magnetic field from the transformer windings. This arrangement is similar to an ordinary electric bell and vibrates many times per second, this produces a stream of sparks at an igniter plug which is connected to the

concern in most American households. Being obese carries with it the predisposition to get diabetes, heart disease, and many other serious illnesses (2). Our bodies have biological mechanisms that tell us when we are hungry and when we are full. Do obese people have a defect in their biological mechanisms that control their weight or are other issues, such as lifestyle and psychology, affecting their weight? From a biological prospective, our body must have a way of telling us when we need to eat

single-industry firms in order to achieve a competitive advantage and superior performance. First, the main elements of strategy implementation—structure, control systems, and culture—are analyzed in detail, focusing on the way they work together to create an organizing framework. Then the chapter turns to the topic of using structure, control, and culture at the functional level to build distinctive competencies. After that, the chapter addresses the challenges of implementing the generic business

growing importance for the studies of frequency stability and control of power system with increasing levels of wind power penetration, especially in United States with a goal of 20% or more by 2030. The increasing penetration of wind in to existing synchronous based generation capacity requires the modifications in the procedures of grid frequency control as wind turbine units fail to provide inertial support and primary control reserves during the initial and later stages of frequency events

body’s internal control mechanism. It maintains (looks after) the body’s temperature, water balance, blood urea level and glucose levels. Homeostasis is “maintained by control systems that detect and respond to changes in the internal environment” (Ross and Wilson, 2010). Homeostasis control mechanisms have three basic components: receptors, control center and effector. The receptors react to change in the environment and send a message to the control center within the brain. The control center, which
