A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action. Machines are usually powered by mechanical, chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and are often motorized. Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a machine. However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without moving parts that are considered machines.
The word machine derives from the Latin word machina, which in turn derives from the Greek (Doricμαχανά makhana, Ionicμηχανή mekhane "contrivance, machine, engine", a derivation from μῆχος mekhos "means, expedient, remedy").
A wider meaning of "fabric, structure" is found in classical Latin, but not in Greek usage.
This meaning is found in late medieval French, and is adopted from the French into English in the mid-16th century.
It was sometime in '92/'93, when Vitalij Kuprij, who was studying classical music in Switzerland at that time, met Roger Staffelbach, a Swiss guitarist who was also studying at the Jazz School in Lucerne.
They soon founded their band "Atlantis Rising", which played several instrumental gigs in Switzerland. After having recorded some demos, they got in touch with Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records, who showed great interest in the band but suggested to add some vocal lines to their songs.
Vitalij had already known stunning drummer Mike Terrana from one of Yngwie Malmsteen's tours. His friend, bassist Kevin Chown, also joined the band and enriched their sound with solid experience and great musicianship, and Artension was born.
Mike Varney introduced Vitalij and Roger to several musicians, one of them being John West, whose soaring vocals, along with Vitalij's and Roger's lightning-fast solos, became the trademark for Artension's neo-classical and aggressive music.
In United States patent law, a machine is one of the four principal categories of things that may be patented. The other three are a process (also termed a method), an article of manufacture (also termed a manufacture), and a composition of matter. In United States patent law, that same terminology has been in use since the first patent act in 1790 (with the exception that processes were formerly termed "arts").
To this it might be added that the parts must interact (usually dynamically) with one another, for otherwise they might be parts of an article of manufacture. It has been considered grounds for rejecting or invalidating a machine claim as being directed to a "mere aggregation" if the parts were merely associated with one another without interacting functionally. An illustration of a mere aggregation would be the "combination" of a bathtub and a pencil sharpener. More recently, the "mere aggregation" ground of invalidity for a machine claim has been subsumed under obviousness.
With "Fallen", Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) rejoins the cast, and Corin Nemec (Jonas Quinn) gets billed as a "Guest Star" (besides "Fallen"/"Homecoming", he would have his only other guest appearance later in "Fallout"). George Touliatos previously played Pyrus, Shyla's father, in "Need." The scenes with the Goa'uld motherships flying in hyperspace are actually stock footage from the Season 2 episode "The Serpent's Lair." Director Martin Wood has a cameo in "Fallen" as the man in the elevator with Jonas at the beginning of the episode. Peter DeLuise, who directed "Fragile Balance", provided the voice of Loki in the same episode. Christopher Heyerdahl, who played Pallan in "Revisions", would later play the recurring characters of Halling and the Wraith 'Todd' on Stargate Atlantis. Peter LaCroix previously played the Ashrak in "In the Line of Duty".
Fallout is an album by Vancouverindustrial band Front Line Assembly, released in 2007. Initially announced as an EP, it is a collection of nine remixes and three previously unreleased tracks. by both the band themselves and other acts including Combichrist, as well as a few additional new tracks.
Background
According to Jeremy Inkel, "Electric Dreams" and "Unconscious" are songs that were originally meant for the Artificial Soldier album, but left unfinished until after. Band leader Bill Leeb later expressed his dissatisfaction with the release, saying, "We weren't that happy with Fallout even though it was more of a friendship remix CD."
Touring
After having postponed the tour because of the later than planned release of the album the band toured North America and Europe in support of Fallout. The North American leg comprised dates in April and May 2007. The band were accompanied by American industrial rock band Acumen Nation as supporting act until May 8, American new wave band and Metropolis label mates TheStart joined on 2 May 2007 for the remainder of the tour. Front Line Assembly continued their tour in Europe in June and July 2007 where Britishindustrial band Portion Control acted as support.
"Fallout" is the eleventh episode of the NBC supernatural drama series Heroes.
Plot
The episode begins with Mr. Bennet bringing Claire home amidst a discussion regarding her powers. Mr. Bennet admits to Claire that he knew about her powers even before she did. He tells her he was trying to protect her. He warns her that there are other bad men who will try to hurt her if they find out she’s special. He asks her who else knows about her powers. Claire tells him that Zach knows all about her ability and what she is capable of, and that Lyle found out after stealing one of the films of Claire jumping from an oil rig and being hit by a car.
Sylar is captured and held in a cell at Mr. Bennet's workplace. Mr. Bennet tells Sylar that his powers won't work in this place. Mr. Bennet talks to him about his various powers versus the other heroes who only have one each. Sylar replies that he got those extra powers because he figured out how things "tick", making him more special than the others. Mr. Bennet tells Sylar that he is insane, as too much foreign DNA and power has corrupted his mind. Mr. Bennet refers to Sylar by his real name, Gabriel, which clearly upsets him - he launches himself at the glass and screams, "My name is Sylar!" Mr. Bennet informs him that he'll be taken apart and studied, comparing the act to the watches Sylar once repaired, and find out what makes him "tick."
"Iron" is the debut single by Woodkid (real name Yoann Lemoine) taken from his album The Golden Age that was prepared in 2011 but released in 2013. It was written by Yoann Lemoine himself and arrangements by Gustave Rudman. The single was released on March 28, 2011. This song gained immense popularity after being used in a trailer for Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Iron (EP)
A remix EP was also released called Iron (EP) in 2011 charting in its own right.

Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas With Only A Big Iron On Your Hip? (in text form)
The title is kinda clickbait, kinda not. The general idea here is that I can only use the .357 Magnum and I can’t look down the sights, I can only fire from the hip. My only method of attack is the big iron on my hip. The “not looking down the sights” thing might be a bit much, but a little extra pain never hurt anyone so I’m doing it anyway.
Because I’m not using Speech as a crutch, the build for this challenge is pretty average for a gun-heavy character. I drained Charisma because it’s worthless and the 357 Magnum only requires a Strength of 3 to use, so I dropped it to 4 and raised all other stats to 7 to have a somewhat well-rounded character. My skills were probably obvious: Guns, Lockpick, and Repair. I went with Trigger Discipline as my first trait. It gives a 20% boost to accuracy which will be useful since I can only fire from the hip, and Skilled to again boost all skills a bit. I stole everything I could carry from Doc Mitchell’s house and left to head to Chet’s shop to buy my gun. He didn’t have one, because why would he. So I sold my trash, bought some stimpaks and ammo, and left. Luckily, there is a Magnum in the Prospector Saloon behind the counter.
It didn’t belong to me, technically I shouldn’t have taken it, but the “did not” and “should not” in this sentence cancel each other out which makes taking it okay. I shot the bottles behind the bar to get a new gun and some ammo to sell later on, and decided to see how bad this situation is by picking a target and annihilating them. Ignoring the shots I missed, it took an unfathomable amount of shots to end Joe Cobb, because I failed in the process. I tried again and noticed something really annoying. Revolvers must be reloaded manually, New Vegas doesn’t have the $4.99 per month “auto-reload” DLC yet. Sometimes taking damage will interrupt what you’re doing. Bullets have to be loaded in one at a time, which means you’ve got 6 opportunities to be interrupted every time you reload. It’s a real problem that occurs frequently throughout this run.
It took something like 16 shots to end Cobb, leaving town with 2 bullets, one for an enemy and one for me when I miss, is a recipe for disaster. So I did a time jump and went back to when Cobb didn’t have a dozen bullets in him, spoke to him about taking over the town, and realized that because I spoke to him, I didn’t have the option of helping Ringo take out the Powder Gangers. Ringo forfeited his life when he dared to speak to me in such a way.
Cobb told me to shake down the citizens of townsville for everything they had. I started with Chet, failed, and I slowly walked into town while wishing that my mustache was bigger. I helped with the fight the same way a kid who tastes the cookie batter helps with baking cookies. I was there, I did stuff, but nothing would’ve turned out differently if I was a puddle of failure body in the bone orchard.
