What is meant by Holmes signal?
The spontaneous combustion of phosphine is technically used in Holme's
signals. Containers containing calcium carbide and calcium phosphide are
pierced and thrown in the sea when the gases evolved burn and serve as a
signal. It is also used in smoke screens.
Containers which have a perforated bottom and a hole at the top are filed with calcium phosphide and calcium carbide. These are thrown into the sea. Waterebters the containersthrough the bottom and and reacts to give acetylene and phosphine. Phosphine gets ignited spontaneously as it comes in contact with air and also ignites acetylene. Thus a bright red flame is produced which is accompanied by huge smoke due to the burning of phosphine. This serves as a signal to the approaching ships.
What are step up transformers?
A transformer is a device that changes (transforms) and alternating potential difference (voltage) from one value to another value be it smaller or greater using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
<a class="h2heading h2" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" name="Step-up Transformer:">Step-up Transformer:</a> On a step-up transformer there are more turns on the secondary coil than the primary coil. The induced voltage across the secondary coil is greater than the applied voltage across the primary coil or in other words the voltage has been "stepped-up."

How do you reset the code on a samsonite briefcase?
Look behind the lock on the inside of the case there is a tiny part (like a stick shift) sticking out of a square about 1 cm across move it to the diagonally opposite side (some move sideways toward the numbers and then up to hold it in place) reset code
return shift to old position.
For those without the little stick shift part, try this:
- With the case open, and the current combo in place, hold down the shackle (the little grey or black button beside the combination numbers).
- While holding this shackle down, rotate the numbers to the number YOU WILL REMEMBER. (Holding the shackle down allows the numbers to tumble without moving the divots.)
- Let go of the shackle -these numbers are now associated with the divots.
- Now your combination should be set to the number you wish.
For those with combination locks on a zipper hardshell, try this:
On the bottom edge of the casing surrounding the lock there is a small button. With the combination set to the current "open" numbers, depress the button with the end of a pen or something similar. It should "click" and stay depressed. Now turn the combination settings to a new number YOU WILL REMEMBER. Next, pull on the release button. The button will snap back out and the numbers you have set the combination to will now be the ones that open the lock.
For those with neither one of the above options:
Try pushing the latch that usually opens the case towards the center (where the handle is) and set the new code while keeping the latch pushed towards the middle.The latch usually opens the suitcase with the right combination when pushing it away from the middle (towards left and right) for setting the code you need to push the latch in the opposite direction (towards the handle).
Once you have the new lock code set, release the handle and you are good to go.
What are the parts of a knife?
There are many different parts of a knife. The main ones are here:
Back spacer-the material that holds the two sections of the handle together in a folder.
Belly-edge curve or arc. The greater the belly, the better you can make sweeping cuts necessary for skinning. In a combat knife, it changes the angle of attack from a chopping cut to a slashing movement.
Choil-the unsharpened part of the blade where it meets the handle; many knives have a choil designed to accept the index finger so you can choke down on the blade and have better control. Some makers assert that choils are to avoid ragged indentations at the grind termination when resharpening. Either way, it's for your benefit.
Fuller-more commonly known as a blood groove, this hollowed out strip reduces weight without removing strength from the blade.
Jimping-notched sections on any part of the knife used for enhancing grip.
Quillon-pronounced "key own" (it's French), these are the extensions from the handle that protect your hands from moving down on the blade.
Recurve-a sweeping blade edge in an S shape, used for extending the length of the cutting edge, improve slicing, or just for visual effect. This is more difficult to sharpen in the field since you need rods.
Scales-the handle sections attached to the tang of a full-tang knife or to the back spacer of a folder.
Skeletonized-some pieces of the handle material are taken out to make the knife lighter.
Spine-the back of the blade.
Swage/swedge-often called a false edge, this taper or bevel on the spine near the blade tip reduces weight and thickness of the blade and if sharpened, produces an extra cutting edge for enhanced penetration. Often seen on fighting knives.
Tang-how far the knife blade extends into the handle; the two types are partial or full. Full tang is generally stronger.
Thumb rise-also called a ramp or rest, this area at the place where the handle and blade meet allows the user to apply thumb pressure and exert greater control over the knife.

What is the most dangerous part of a fire - the thing most likely to kill you?
Smoke inhalation is usually the first element of a fire that is most likely to kill.
When materials in a home or building burn, they often give off toxic vapors or smoke, which can asphyxiate when breathed in over a short period of time.
