movable type

Examples of movable type in the following topics:

• Historical Records

  • Around the mid-15th century, block-books, woodcut books with both text and images usually carved in the same block, emerged as a cheaper alternative to manuscripts and books printed with movable type.
  • Johannes Gutenberg of the German city of Mainz developed European movable type printing technology around 1439.
  • Compared to woodblock printing, movable type page-setting was quicker and more durable.
  • Today, practically all movable type printing ultimately derives from Gutenberg's movable type printing, which is often regarded as the most important invention of the second millennium.
  • Defend why movable type was influential in the printing of historical texts during the Romanesque period.

• Synovial Joint Movements

  • A synovial joint, also known as a diarthrosis, is the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal.
  • There are six types of synovial joints.
  • The six types of joints include:

• Technological Advancements Under the Song

  • The application of movable type printing advanced the already widespread use of woodblock printing to educate and amuse Confucian students and the masses.
  • In turn, the invading Mongols employed northern Chinese soldiers and used these same types of gunpowder weapons against the Song.
  • The innovation of movable type printing was made by the artisan Bi Sheng (990–1051), first described by the scientist and statesman Shen Kuo in his Dream Pool Essays of 1088.
  • Movable type enhanced the already widespread use of woodblock methods of printing thousands of documents and volumes of written literature, consumed eagerly by an increasingly literate public.
  • Trebuchets like this were used to launch the earliest type of explosive bombs.

• The Printing Revolution

  • His newly devised hand mould made for the first time possible the precise and rapid creation of metal movable type in large quantities, a key element in the profitability of the whole printing enterprise.
  • However, it was not until a 1439 lawsuit against Gutenberg that an official record exists; witnesses' testimony discussed Gutenberg's types, an inventory of metals (including lead), and his type molds.
  • He was the first to make type from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony, which was critical for producing durable type that produced high-quality printed books and proved to be much better suited for printing than all other known materials.
  • To create these lead types, Gutenberg used what is considered one of his most ingenious inventions, a special matrix enabling the quick and precise molding of new type blocks from a uniform template.
  • In the background, compositors are setting type.

• Structure of Synovial Joints

  • A synovial joint, also known as a diarthrosis, is the most common and most movable type of joint in a mammal's body.
  • Diarthroses are freely movable articulations.
  • *The outer layer, or subintima-can be of almost any type: fibrous, fatty, or loosely areolar.
  • The intimal cells are termed synoviocytes and are of two types: fibroblastic (type B synoviocytes) and macrophagic (type A synoviocytes), both of which are different in certain respects from similar cells in other tissues.
  • The type B synoviocytes manufacture a long-chain sugar polymer called hyaluronan, which makes the synovial fluid stringy (like egg-white) together with a molecule called lubricin, which lubricates the joint surfaces.

• Structural Classification of Joints

  • The type and characteristics of a given joint determines the degree and type of movement.
  • These types of joints are fixed or immovable joints.
  • There are three types of fibrous joints.
  • This is the most common and movable joint type in the body.
  • Image demonstrating the three types of fibrous joints.

• Functional Classification of Joints

  • Functional classification of joints is based on the type and degree of movement permited.
  • Functional classification is based on the type and degree of movement permited.
  • Synarthrosis- These types of joints are immobile or allow limited mobility.
  • Diarthrosis – These are the freely movable synovial joints.
  • Synovial joints are further classified based on the different types of movement they provide.

• Cartilaginous Joints: Symphyses

  • A symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint that is slightly movable and permanent.
  • It is a type of cartilaginous joint, specifically a secondary cartilaginous joint.
  • A symphysis is an amphiarthrosis, which is a slightly movable joint.
  • Differentiate among the types of symphyses (fibrocartilaginous fusions) between two bones

• Syndesmoses

  • Syndesmoses are slightly movable joints formed where an interosseous ligament joins two bones.
  • A syndesmosis is a type of articulation, or joint, in which two adjacent bones are joined by an interosseous membrane.
  • The interosseous membrane is a type of connective tissue found between certain bones such as those in syndesmosis joints.

• The Spectrometer

  • This type of instrument is used in spectroscopy.
  • Every type of atom has its own frequency.
  • They use a diffraction grating, movable slit, and a photodetector.
