Beaker (drinkware)
A cup is an open-top vessel (container) used to hold liquids for drinking, typically with a flattened hemispherical shape, and often with a capacity of about . Cups may be made of pottery (including porcelain), glass, metal, wood, stone, polystyrene, plastic, lacquerware, or other materials. Normally, a cup is brought in contact with the mouth for drinking, distinguishing it from other tableware and drinkware forms such as jugs. They also most typically have handles, though a beaker has no handle or stem, and small bowl shapes are very common in Asia. Cups of different styles may be used for different types of liquids or other foodstuffs (e.g. teacups and measuring cups), in different situations (e.g. at water stations or in ceremonies and rituals), or for decoration. Rigby 2003: p. 573–574. The history of cups goes back well into prehistory, initially mostly as handle-less beakers or bowls, and they have been found in most cultures across the world in a variety of sha ...

Beaker (laboratory Equipment)
In laboratory equipment, a beaker is generally a cylindrical container with a flat bottom.Oxford English Dictionary 1989 edition Most also have a small spout (or "beak") to aid pouring, as shown in the picture. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one milliliter up to several liters. A beaker is distinguished from a flask by having straight rather than sloping sides. The exception to this definition is a slightly conical-sided beaker called a Philips beaker. The beaker shape in general drinkware is similar. Beakers are commonly made of glass (today usually borosilicate glass), but can also be in metal (such as stainless steel or aluminum) or certain plastics (notably polythene, polypropylene, PTFE). A common use for polypropylene beakers is gamma spectral analysis of liquid and solid samples. Construction and use Standard or "low-form" (A) beakers typically have a height about 1.4 times the diameter.British Standard 6523 (1984) ''Glass beakers for original ...

Beaker (archaeology)
In archaeology, a beaker is a small round ceramic or metal cup, a drinking vessel shaped to be held in the hands. It has no handle or spout, and generally no spreading foot (base). Term Archaeologists identify several different types including the inverted-bell beaker, the butt beaker, the claw beaker, and the rough-cast beaker. When used alone “beaker” usually refers to the typical form of pottery cups called ''inverted-bell beakers'' associated with the European Bell Beaker culture of the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. Bell beakers The '' inverted-bell beaker'' or ''bell-beaker'' was first defined as a find-type by Lord Abercromby in the early twentieth century and comes in three distinct forms, the (typical) bell beaker, and the rarer short-necked beaker, and long-necked beaker. There are many variations on these basic types, with inter-grades between them. Bell-beakers have been found from North Africa to southern Scotland and from Portugal to the far east o ...

Sippy Cup
The sippy cup, training cup (American English) or beaker (British English) is a modern drinking cup designed for toddlers which prevents or reduces spills. Sippy cups, as opposed to an Cup, open cup, have a top which prevents spills, and the child drinks either through a spout or straw. Some sippy cups work by way of surface tension that prevents liquid from being spilled even when the cup is upended, and others have valves. A sippy cup is typically an intermediary between the transition between the Baby bottle, bottle or Breastfeeding, breast to an open cup; however, some recommend skipping the sippy cup and transitioning directly to an open cup. Invention The Sipster spill-proof sippy cup was invented by Richard Belanger, who licensed the design to Playtex. Belanger, who is credited with the invention of the modern sippy cup, invented his version of the sippy cup during the 1980s. Belanger, tired of cleaning up drink spills caused by his son, decided that he would solve the p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beaker (album)
''Beaker'' is the second album by the American band 22 Brides. It was released in 1995. The band supported the album by touring with Dick Dale. The first single was "Lullabye". A comic book, ''22 Brides'', inspired in part by the band and created by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, was used to promote ''Beaker'' via a full-page ad in each issue. Production The album was produced by Adam Lasus and band leaders/sisters Carrie and Libby Johnson, with additional production by J. Cox. Much of it was recorded using Lasus's analog equipment. Unlike the band's debut, ''Beaker'' included a studio drummer and an additional studio guitarist/bassist; full-time band members were recruited after its completion. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' thought that "the graft of punky abandon to the trunk of folky preciousness doesn’t mesh strongly enough to make the second album more than moderately intriguing ... but experimental hybrids do have a way of sprouting strange flowers." The ''Albuq ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
