This allows abnormal areas of conduction to be located very accurately, and subsequently destroyed with heat, cold, electrical or laser probes.

The device consists of a small electrical probe that measures the dielectric, or insulating, characteristics of wood, which change depending upon moisture content.

In these logs, resistivity is measured using 4 electrical probes to eliminate the resistance of the contact leads.

"Imaging system with optical and electrical probes," he said.

An electrical probe designed by Favre had been used previously, without success, in an attempt to determine if the bullet remained.

An engineering tech had peeled artificial flesh and hair back and was delicately manipulating an electrical probe in the positronic brain.

He is known, in particular, for the way he triggered muscular contractions with electrical probes, recording the resulting distorted and often grotesque expressions with the recently invented camera.

Instead, a very small platter coated in chalcogenide is dragged beneath many (thousands or even millions) of electrical probes that can read and write the chalcogenide.

Before operating, he stimulated the brain with electrical probes while the patients were conscious on the operating table (under only local anesthesia), and observed their responses.

His right hand clutched an electrical probe.
