Ethernet frames organize data for transfer over computer networks. They consist of addresses, data, and an error-checking field. Ethernet is a set of technologies used for local area networks and uses data packets to transmit information. Each packet contains address fields, actual data, and an error control field. The error control field creates a code […]
Reading frames contain genetic information that encodes amino acids to make proteins. DNA and RNA have reading frames, with six potential reading frames in DNA and three in RNA. Altering reading frames can cause genetic abnormalities. Open reading frames contain complete genes or overlapping genes, and non-coding DNA may have other functions. A reading frame […]
A picture frame clamp holds a frame square while gluing. Metal or aluminum clamps are less prone to glue sticking, while wood clamps can be made strong and non-stick with wax. Strap clamps are suitable for frames with compound angles, while high-end metal clamps with locking devices on both sides are useful for fragile frames. […]
A rigid frame is a strong structural configuration consisting of fixed connections between frame pieces, commonly made of steel. It is used in buildings, bridges, and vehicles for its strength, stability, and efficiency. It provides more usable space than arched construction, but requires inflexible foundations. Bridges benefit from reduced deflection and vibration, and wider spans […]
Timber framing is a historic construction method that uses wooden joints and pegs to create a sturdy frame structure. It requires advanced carpentry skills and can incorporate other natural materials. The exposed beams can add rustic charm, but weatherboarding may be necessary in some climates. Timber framing is a historic method of construction that uses […]
A distribution frame is a passive system used to connect telecommunication and audio-visual cables. It consists of double-sided connection blocks mounted on vertical racks within an enclosure. The blocks allow for incoming and outgoing cables to be connected and modified without disturbing existing connections. The system is used in telecommunications networks to connect available lines […]
A hoist frame supports a hoist and enables it to lift heavy loads throughout a building. It can be made of iron or wood and can be disassembled for storage. Some designs require a roller hoist support for side pulling and lowering. A hoist frame is a series of heavy iron beams that is used […]
Platform framing involves constructing separate floors by placing a platform frame, then wall frames on top. It is commonly used in residential and small commercial structures. The foundation is typically a concrete slab, and the first platform sits on small support beams connected to it. This method has largely replaced balloon framing in North America, […]
Frame analysis studies how people interpret events and interactions, examining how frames are developed and their influence on society. Frames can be modeled by parents, peers, public figures, and teachers, and are used to convince others to agree with a particular point of view. The media is a powerful tool for framing public perception, and […]
A frame story is a literary technique where an initial story is used to set up a second story with more emphasis. The narrator or character introduces the second story, inviting the reader to follow. This technique is popular in literature, film, and television, and has been used for centuries. An example is Washington Irving’s […]
A framing carpenter constructs the skeleton of residential and commercial buildings using wood products, including composite lumber materials. They work on construction sites and must be familiar with building codes, safety regulations, and blueprints. They may also be responsible for other tasks such as hanging drywall and installing ceilings. Carpenters use a variety of power […]
