Weber Piano Company
The Weber Piano Company is a former piano manufacturing company based in New York City and East Rochester, New York from the middle of the 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century, and continued as a division of Aeolian Company, Aeolian-American at East Rochester, New York until 1985, when Aeolian went out of business. The Weber name was then sold to South Korean piano company Young Chang, which in turn sold the Weber name to Samsung, Samsung Group in 1987. Young Chang remains responsible for manufacturing the pianos, which are sold in two product lines: ''Weber'', with entry-level and mid-level pianos, and ''Albert Weber'', with higher-level products. History Weber Piano Company under Albert Weber Sr. The Weber Piano Company was founded in 1852 by Albert Weber (born: July 8, 1829, Heiligenstadt (Upper Franconia), Heiligenstadt, Bavaria; died: June 25, 1879, New York).

Weber Electrodynamics
Weber electrodynamics is a theory of electromagnetism that preceded Maxwell electrodynamics and was replaced by it by the end of the 19th century. Weber electrodynamics is mainly based on the contributions of André-Marie Ampère, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Eduard Weber. In this theory, Coulomb's law becomes velocity and acceleration dependent. Weber electrodynamics is only applicable for electrostatics, magnetostatics and for the quasistatic approximation. Weber electrodynamics is not suitable for describing electromagnetic waves and for calculating the forces between electrically charged particles that move very rapidly or that are accelerated more than insignificantly. The outstanding feature of Weber electrodynamics is that it makes it possible to describe magnetic forces between direct currents, low-frequency alternating currents, and permanent magnets without a magnetic field. History Around 1820, André-Marie Ampère carried out numerous systematic experiments with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weber County, Utah
Weber County ( ) is a county in the U.S. state of Utah. As of the 2020 United States census, the population was 262,223, making it Utah's fourth-most populous county. Its county seat and largest city is Ogden, the home of Weber State University. The county was named after a fur trapper John Weber. Weber County is part of the Ogden- Clearfield, UT Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the Salt Lake City- Provo- Ogden, UT Combined Statistical Area. History The Weber Valley was visited by many trappers seeking beavers and muskrats along its streams. One of the first on record reached the area in 1824, traveling from Fort Bridger. He reported that the Bear River flowed into a salt bay. Peter Skene Ogden passed through in 1826, representing the Hudson's Bay Company. He traded in this area for several years, near present-day North Ogden. John C. Frémont explored the Weber Valley in 1843 and made maps of the area. The Fremont reports encouraged readers to seek their fortu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weber Carburetors
Weber Carburetors is an automotive manufacturing company founded in 1923, known for their carburetors. History Eduardo Weber began his automotive career working for Fiat, first at their Turin plant (in 1914) and later at a dealership in Bologna. After WWI, with gasoline prices high, he reached a certain success in selling conversion kits for running trucks on kerosene instead. The company was established as ''Fabbrica Italiana Carburatori Weber'' in 1923 when Weber produced carburetors as part of a conversion kit for Fiats. Weber pioneered the use of two-stage twin-barrel carburetors, with two venturis of different sizes (the smaller one for low-speed/rpm running and the larger one optimised for high-speed/rpm use). In the 1930s, Weber began producing twin-barrel carburetors for motor racing, where two barrels of the same size were used. These were arranged so that each cylinder of the engine had its own carburetor barrel. These carburetors found use in Maserati and Alfa Rom ...

Weber Test
The Weber test is a screening test for hearing performed with a tuning fork. It can detect Unilateral hearing loss, unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss (middle ear hearing loss) and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss). The test is named after Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878). Conductive hearing ability is mediated by the middle ear composed of the ossicles: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. Sensorineural hearing ability is mediated by the inner ear composed of the cochlea with its internal basilar membrane and attached cochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). The outer ear consisting of the pinna, ear canal, and ear drum or tympanic membrane transmits sounds to the middle ear but does not contribute to the conduction or sensorineural hearing ability save for hearing transmissions limited by cerumen impaction (wax collection in the ear canal). The Weber test has had its value as a screening test questioned in the literature. Weber tes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
