Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Altoidstins1.jpg thumb 200px A variety of tins used for Altoids breath mints. A tin box , or tin for short, is a metal container with a re closeable lid. Despite its name, a tin box seldom involves more tin than a thin plating plate d layer whose purpose is to inhibit corrosion . Construction The lid, which sometimes is hinge d to the rest of the box, is often held in place when closed by friction. In other cases, two protruding parts can pass each other only when the lid and the rest of the box are deformed slightly pressure from the user s hands is sufficient to produce this deformation, while the parts resist this somewhat, and are flexible enough to recover their normal shape when released. Usage Modern tin boxes have been used to hold items such as breath mint s, throat lozenge s, instant coffee , Cocoa solids cocoa and even CD ROM s for an internet service provider . In the past even more products were stored in tins, many highly decorated. Businesses tried to encourage the re use of tins they provided, with the effect of the tins advertising them. One common use of the tin was as a children s lunchbox and in the United Kingdom UK as biscuit tin s. Highly decorated holiday tins , usually containing cookie s, candy , or popcorn , are sold during the holiday season and are popular gifts. Similar festive containers are used in Europe for sweets , biscuit s, cake s and chocolate s, mainly at Christmas , rather than in the summer holidays and in countries with United Kingdom British associations, they are usually called biscuit tins. In the year 2007 the German company dosenwelten started a new concept with digital printing on already shaped tin boxes. In these days it is possible to produce already printed tin boxes from one piece. The time of mass production has ended. DEFAULTSORT Tin Box Category Containers Category Packaging ... more details

Notability date April 2009 Image Cmoy there.jpg thumb Common Cmoy A CMoy is a pocket headphone amplifier originally designed by Chu Moy on the http headwize.com headwize.com Headphone Resource Site and public discussion Forums. The headphone amplifier is designed around single or dual channel Operational amplifiers op amps such as Burr Brown s OPA2134 or OPA2132PA, however, a wide variety of op amps have been successfully implemented. The amplifier s design is quite simple. It consists of only a few components, can be assembled on a small section of protoboard , has a lower parts cost than other headphone amplifiers, and can run for many hours on a single 9 volt battery. In spite of this, a well made CMoy amplifier still cannot drive demanding headphones, like Sennheiser Sennheiser s HD600 but may show marginal improvements on low impedance Grado Labs Grados quite well. These characteristics have made it very popular among DIY hobbyists, especially those who have not built an amplifier before.

Wintergreen and other oils or flavors are also frequently used in mints however, these are not of the mint mentha family or botanical class. Types of mint candies Hard mints Hard mints, often called breath mints , are popular as breath fresheners since the taste and smell of mint oil and its active components are quite strong and feels clean and cool to the mouth as well as soothing to the stomach ref http www.umm.edu altmed articles peppermint 000269.htm ref .. Examples of hard mints include Altoids and Tic Tacs . In addition to breath freshening, mints that actually contain peppermint oil or extract have been popular in helping with digestion after a meal. Peppermint has muscle relaxant properties and therefore may relax the lower esophageal sphincter , allowing the contents of the stomach to move upwards into the esophagus . Peppermint also seems to be effective in relieving intestinal gas and indigestion. ref http www.umm.edu altmed articles peppermint 000269.htm ref According to the German Commission E Monograph, real peppermint oil or extract has been used for cramp like complaints in the gastrointestinal tract.

File Trevqrp.png thumb right QRP rig that fits inside an Altoids tin. In amateur radio , QRP operation means transmitting at reduced power levels while aiming to maximize one s effective range while doing so. The term QRP derives from the standard Q code used in radio communications, where QRP and QRP? are used to request, Reduce power, and ask Should I reduce power? respectively. The opposite of QRP is QRO , or high power operation. Philosophy Most amateurs use approximately 100 watts of power, and in some parts of the world like the US, can use up to 1500 watts. QRP enthusiasts contend that this isn t always necessary, and doing so wastes power, increases the likelihood of causing electromagnetic interference interference to nearby televisions , receiver radio radios , and telephones and, for United States amateurs is incompatible with Federal Communications Commission FCC Part 97 rule, which states that one must use the minimum power necessary to carry out the desired communications. Practice There is not complete agreement on what constitutes QRP power. While most QRP enthusiasts agree that for Morse code CW , Amplitude Modulation AM , Frequency modulation FM , and data Modulation modes , the transmitter transmitter power output output power should be 5 watt s or less , the maximum output power for single sideband modulation SSB single sideband is not always agreed upon. Some believe that the power should be no more than 10 watts peak envelope power PEP , while others strongly hold that the power limit should be 5 watts. QRPers are known to use even less than five watts, sometimes operating with as little as 100 milliwatts or even less. Extremely low power 1 watt and below is often referred to by hobbyists as QRPp. Communicating using QRP can be difficult since the QRPer must face the same challenges of radio propagation faced by amateurs using higher power levels, but with the inherent disadvantages associated with having a weaker signal on the receiving end, all ... more details
