What is a sternum compression site in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
It is where the center of the load is applied in compressions. It is in the middle of the sternum.
How do compression load cells work?
Compression load cells work by measuring the force or load applied to them through compression. They contain a strain gauge sensor that detects changes in electrical resistance caused by the slight deformation of the load cell when subjected to pressure. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal that can be calibrated and used to determine the applied load.

Why some bulk message sending software encountering spamming and sending failed problems?
Basically, mobile communication use compression techniques. Two types of compression techniques are there. they are: 1. lossy compression 2. lossless compression. While the user send an SMS, copmression technique is applied at the transmitter section and decompression technique is applied at the receiver. These compression techniques were takes place automatically. 1. In lossy compression, some data may lost at the receiver while performing decompression. 2. In lossless compression, the transmitted data is received without any loss at the receiver. Due to lossy compression only, u may have some problems at the receiver side such as "some text missing". etc.
What is the difference between compression and contraction?
Don't know if you are talking medical, mechanical or data compression. Contraction is when pressure is applied from outside, around an object. Muscles can contract to force a baby to be born or can cause a spasm. A strap can be tightened around something. Compression is pressure applied usually DICK in one direction, can be from all around like deep water compression. A vice can apply compression by tightening the jaws. A hydraulic press compresses items. Your spine can be damaged by compression, by too much pressure on your back which causes a compression fracture of the vertabra.
Why do all concrete slabs need rebar?
When the slab is loaded and force applied to it, the top of the slab directly under the load will be put in compression. However at the bottom of the slab. the concrete will pull itself in tension. Put the ends of your fingers together than flex your wrist up. You will feel the pressure at the top of your fingertips and you will see a gap open at the bottom. That is what is happening in a slab. Concrete is strong in compression, poor in tension. Rebar, or steel, is the opposite. By combining the two, you develop a product that is superior and complimentary to the strengths and weaknesses of the individual materials.
