A spacer is generally something used to create a space between two objects, often to properly position them.

Spacer coupling is a cylindrical piece installed between the pump shaft coupling hub and motor shaft coupling hub to provide enough space to remove pump mechanical seal when doing maintenance without moving either the pump body or the driver.

A Molecular spacer or simply a spacer in chemistry is any flexible part of a molecule providing a connection between

Spacer DNA are regions of non-transcribed DNA between tandemly repeated genes, such as ribosomal RNA genes in eukaryotes.

Orthodontic separators (simply spacers) are rubber bands or sometimes metal appliances used in orthodontics before braces are applied on teeth or an expander is applied in the mouth and are put on the molars at the second orthodontic appointment.Spacers are circular rubber bands about a centimeter in diameter placed between top and bottom molars; there may be 1-12 spacers applied.

Prior to the adoption of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the spacer GIF was a transparent image, often used to control blank space within a web page, that can be resized according to the width and height dimensions it is given. The reason a spacer GIF is invisible is so that an HTML developer can create a table cell and fill the background with a specific color that can be viewed through the transparent spacer GIF.

In Isaac Asimov's Foundation/Empire/Robot series, the Spacers were the first humans to emigrate to space. About a millennium thereafter, they severed political ties with Earth, and embraced low population growth and extreme longevity (with lifespans reaching 400 years) as a means for a high standard of living, in combination with using large numbers of robots as servants.

A rebar spacer is a device that secures the reinforcing steel or "rebar" in reinforced concrete structures as the rebar is assembled in place prior to the final concrete pour. The spacers are left in place for the pour to keep the reinforcing in place, and become a permanent part of the structure.

ITS (for internal transcribed spacer) refers to a piece of non-functional RNA situated between structural ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) on a common precursor transcript. Read from 5' to 3', this polycistronic rRNA precursor transcript contains the 5' external transcribed sequence (5' ETS), 18S rRNA, ITS1, 5.8S rRNA, ITS2, 26S rRNA and finally the 3'ETS. During rRNA maturation, ETS and ITS pieces are excised and as non-functional maturation by-products rapidly degraded. Genes encoding ribosomal rRNA and spacers occur in tandem repeats that are thousands of copies long, each separated by regions of non-transcribed DNA termed intergenic spacer (IGS) or ...

Abstract: Abstract Summary form only given. The lightly-doped drain (LDD) spacer has been used extensively in conventional CMOS processing, which leads to less hot carrier degradation. For the formation of LDD spacers, a certain thickness of TEOS layer is deposited and then a blanket etch is performed using an endpoint algorithm. However, as device sizes shrink (e.g. gate length and active area), it is important that spacers should not overlap, as this will result in improper source/drain and contact openings. The effects of LDD spacer etches have been investigated for spacer width control, subsequent ...

Abstract: Abstract The various factors to be considered in the design of spacers for bundled conductors and the performance of a combination spacer damper designed to fulfill the mechanical and electrical requirements for spacers and the vibration damping requirements for the conductors are discussed.

Abstract: Markers of risk of asthma death or readmission in the 12 months following a hospital admission for asthma. Crane J, Pearce N, Burgess C, Woodman K, Robson B, Beasley R. Department of Medicine, Wellington School of Medicine, New Zealand. A case-control study has previously been reported of asthma deaths in people aged 5-45 years who had a hospital admission for asthma (the index admission) in New Zealand during 1981-1987. The study has been re-analysed to examine the association between markers of asthma severity and risk of asthma death or hospital admission; patients prescribed fenoterol w...
