The Canadarm (technically called the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System) is used to lift and manipulate satellites, parts, and other equipment from the payload bay of the shuttles to their correct position. It is also sometimes used to move an astronaut to another part of the outside of the space station or shuttle.
A bobbin is a device which holds the thread that is below the needle in a sewing machine. The shuttle is a (usually) removable housing the bobbin is inserted into. The design of shuttles (and bobbins) has changed over the years, so there are many styles of shuttles. Visit the links below for some pictures of shuttles.
He discovered the female pleasure device, when one day he slipped with his candle stick and it penetrated his butt.
A downplayer is a rhetorical device that works by attempting to make someone or something less significant or important.
Mendeleev. Many others contributed ideas before bu Mendeleev's contribution is considered the most important.
A space probe is an unmanned device that is sent into space for purposes of exploration. The space shuttle is a manned vehicle meant for research and delivering supplies, equipment, and people into low-Earth orbit.
Plugging a 110V device into a 220V socket can cause significant damage to the device. The device may experience a power surge that can damage internal components such as the power supply. Repairing the device may be possible, but the extent of the damage would need to be assessed by a professional technician.
Rube Goldberg was not a scientist, he was a humorist. He devised insanely impractical devices to amuse the public. To this day, any device that does something relatively simple (cracking an egg, for example) in a ridiculously complicated way, can be called a Rube Goldberg device.

Patricia Bath was a pioneering ophthalmologist and the first African American woman to receive a medical patent. Her most significant contribution was the invention of the Laserphaco Probe, a device that revolutionized cataract surgery by allowing for less invasive procedures and improved patient outcomes. Bath's work not only advanced medical technology but also highlighted the importance of diversity in medicine, inspiring future generations of underrepresented individuals in healthcare. Her legacy continues to impact vision care and advocates for health equity.
A spacecraft is a vehicle or device designed for travel or operation in outer space. It includes satellites, rockets, space shuttles, probes, and other vehicles used for exploring space, conducting research, or transporting cargo and personnel.
An internal explosive device refers to a bomb or explosive device that is planted and intended to be detonated inside a facility, vehicle, or other enclosed space. These devices are designed to cause significant damage and harm to individuals in close proximity to the explosion.
Digits shown on the measuring device plus one estimated digit are considered significant figures. Significant figures reflect the precision of a measurement, indicating the certainty of the values. This concept is crucial in scientific calculations to ensure that results are reported with an appropriate level of accuracy.
