Most analysts believe that North Korea has managed to miniaturise a crude nuclear device.

Dr Wang's trick is to miniaturise the process so that it fits on a glove.

Few think that North Korea has yet managed to miniaturise its nuclear weapons to fit them onto missiles.

To provide a truly portable gene-sequencing device, it is necessary to miniaturise and automate the preparation of samples.

The Pentagon said this week it had not seen North Korea demonstrate a capability to miniaturise a nuclear warhead.

Efforts to miniaturise the clockworks followed, and soon succeeded with the result that the portable, mechanical clock became a reality.

Without it, Iran may seek to return to the old limited inspections regime, to build new centrifuges, to enrich uranium to near weapons-grade and to miniaturise warheads.

Pyongyang is also seen to be working to miniaturise a nuclear warhead to mount on a missile, but many experts say it is some time away from perfecting such technology.
|
|
North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests, including two last year, although its claims to be able to miniaturise a nuclear weapon to be mounted on a missile have never been verified independently.
|
|
The ability to miniaturise a tactical nuclear weapon on a working missile could be just two or three years away, with an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting California possible in five years' time.
|
|
North Korea is believed to be developing nuclear warheads and trying to miniaturise them to mount on ballistic missiles but it is believed by experts to be a few years away from mastering the technology.
|
|
The Pentagon said this week it had not seen North Korea demonstrate a capability to miniaturise a nuclear warhead a said on Wednesday the department was working on U.S. ballistic missile defences to be prepared.
|

It follows warnings from senior U.S. military officials last April that they believed North Korea had the ability to miniaturise a warhead and mount it on a ballistic missile, posing a potential new threat to the United States, Japan and South Korea.

London, Computing (magazine), Incisive Media. 26 May 2005 Other trials included an agreement with Indian operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam to test 50 handsets in late 2012, and a number of pilots in South America. That year, development engineer Conny Do said his main prerogative was to miniaturise TerraNet's credit card-sized circuit so that it could be installed in any mobile handset.Karlsson-Ottosson, Ulla.

This information is fed to a machine learning algorithm that interprets what the patient is saying and a voice synthesiser produces the speech. According to Russel, the system can recognise 50 words and identifies the correct word 94.14% of the time but also skips words that it can't identify 18% of the time. The intention in 2009 was to miniaturise the system, which at that time was linked to a desktop PC.

Distributed-element circuits are cheap and easy to manufacture in some formats, but take up more space than lumped-element circuits. This is problematic in mobile devices (especially hand-held ones), where space is at a premium. If the operating frequencies are not too high, the designer may miniaturise components rather than switching to distributed elements. However, parasitic elements and resistive losses in lumped components are greater with increasing frequency as a proportion of the nominal value of the lumped-element impedance.

1–2 CPW is simpler to manufacture; there is only one plane of metallization and components can be surface mounted whether they are connected in series (spanning a break in the line) or shunt (between the line and the ground). Shunt components in stripline and microstrip require a connection through to the bottom of the substrate. CPW is also easier to miniaturise; its characteristic impedance depends on the ratio of the line width to the distance between return conductors rather than the absolute value of line width.Simons, p.

The idea was that if a shell could explode when it was near an enemy aircraft, a near miss would be nearly as effective as a direct hit. The technical problem was to miniaturise a radar set, and make it sturdy enough to be fired from a gun barrel. The second problem had been solved by the Germans; a dud German bomb was salvaged that had valves that could withstand the acceleration. Plans were given to the Americans by the Tizard Mission, but work continued in Britain, where a team was established at Christchurch under Charles Drummond Ellis in February 1942.
