One side of the handle includes a bolt that is used to adjust the spacing of the jaws, the other side of the handle especially in larger models often includes a lever to push the two sides of the handles apart to unlock the pliers. Mole and Vise Grip are trade names of different brands of locking pliers. Locking pliers are available in many different configurations, such as needle nose locking pliers, locking wrenches, locking clamps and various shapes to fix metal parts for welding. They also come in many sizes.

CPU locking is the process of permanently setting a Central processing unit CPU s clock multiplier . AMD CPUs are unlocked in early editions of a model and locked in later editions, but nearly all Intel CPUs are locked and recent models are very resistant to unlocking to prevent overclocking by users. AMD ships unlocked CPUs with their Opteron, FX and Black Series line up, while Intel uses the moniker of Extreme Edition. Intel usually has one or two Extreme Edition CPUs on the market, leading their range in clock speed and starting at 999 1499 USD. AMD has the majority of their desktop range in a Black Edition, with very little price differences from the standard editions. Users unlock CPUs to allow underclocking , overclocking , and front side bus speed compatibility with certain motherboards, but unlocking invalidates the manufacturer s warranty and mistakes can cripple a CPU. However, locking a chip s clock multiplier does not necessarily prevent users from overclocking, as the speed of the front side bus can still be changed to provide a performance increase. AMD Athlon and Athlon XP CPUs are generally unlocked by connecting bridges jumper computing jumper like points on the top of the CPU with electrical conduction conductive paint or Graphite pencil lead . Other CPU models determinable by serial number require different procedures to be unlocked. One of the easiest ways to unlock an older AMD Athlon XP CPU was the pin mod method, because it was possible to unlock the CPU without a permanent modification of any bridges. Just putting one wire or some more for a new multiplier Vcore into the socket would unlock the CPU.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Record locking is the technique of preventing simultaneous access to data in a database , to prevent inconsistent results. The classic example is demonstrated by two banking bank clerks attempting to update the same bank account for two different transactions. Clerk 1 and clerk 2 both retrieve ie, copy the account s current balance. Clerk 1 applies one transaction and refiles the new balance. Clerk 2 applies a different transaction and refiles a new balance that obliterates the information saved by clerk 1. The resulting account balance no longer reflects the first transaction. To prevent inconsistencies created by that kind of unlimited access, the account s record can instead be immediately locked upon being retrieved for any subsequent update. Anyone attempting to retrieve the same record for editing is denied access because of the lock although, depending on the implementation, they may be able to view the record without editing it . Once the record is saved or edits are canceled, the lock is released, thereby always insuring consistent data within the record being edited. Use of locks Record locks hereafter lock s need to be managed between the entities requesting the records such that no entity is given too much service via successive grants , and no other entity is effectively locked out. Care should also be used to avoid a deadlock condition which can bring the application or system to a halt. The entities that request a lock can be either individual applications programs or an entire processor.
