EQUILIBRIUM TRANSMISSION DEVICE, ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO TRANSMITTING DATA BY USING ONE PAIR OF OR PLURAL PAIRS OF CONDUCTORSPURPOSE: An equilibrium transmission device is provided to enable a transmitter to monitor voltages or currents or both voltages and currents injected into pairs of conductors,...
You cannot say “one trouser,” as “trousers” refers to a pair of pants. Similarly, “jeans,”“shorts,” and “pajamas” are always plural.There are also some nouns that are always plural because they refer to a part of the body that is typically found in pairs. For example, “...
in some sense, they should not. Thus Englishbinocularshas no singular, which is worth noting (that is, it is not predictable). True, there are other nouns denoting items consisting of two significant parts which behave similarly (spectacles,trousers…); indeed ...
for a constraint-based version of this intuition), this doesn’t account for the fact that the constant templatic shape of plurals is achieved by different affixation patterns, which are not completely predictable by phonological shape and/or gender, as shown by the quasi-minimal pairs in (2)...
Differences in duration that are significant in two-tailed pairwise t tests, as well as in two-tailed paired Wilcoxon tests ( p Ͻ .0001), are marked with asterisks. Figure 5 shows that there is no reliable difference in duration between the onset of the singular form and the word ...
(plural-dominant pairs).’Footnote15An illustration of such distributions is given in (17). In the CELEX database (Baayen et al.1995), the lexemesneckandlipare approximately matched: each occurs around 80 times per million words. Yet their distribution with respect to number is dramatically ...
a structure having a drain extraction electrode which extends between a pair of units and is commonly connected to drain finger electrodes of respective unit cells, and two gate extraction electrodes each of which extends to a position where the gate extraction electrode faces the drain extraction ...
(d) placing a mixture of a liquid crystal compound and a polymerizable compound within respective predetermined spacings in each of the first, the second, and the third pair of substrates; (e) polymerizing the polymerizable compound together with the liquid crystal compound under the influence of...
Three pairs of programming points are assigned for keyboard routing, which are: AG AH=KB1 output, AI AJ=KB2 output, and AK AL=KB3 output. The following list of codes are assigned to the respective programming points, any pair may be linked to AG AH, AI AJ, AK AL, AM AN, for ...
the plurality of sub circuits of the second circuit including at least a second sub circuit; a control line extending in the second direction between the first and second ports and transmitting a timing signal to control the first and second sub circuits in common; a first branch line branched...
