The switch mechanism was prone to failure.

They may also be incorporated into switch mechanisms or translucent fluid-tubes as a component in monitoring or controlling liquid level.

This switch mechanism is what helps determine whether or not a brood with wings will evolve.

These type of fuses may have an impact pin to operate a switch mechanism, so that all three phases are interrupted if any one fuse blows.

In 2005, proposals were put forward to allow passive euthanasia to be administered using a switch mechanism similar to Sabbath clocks.

The switch mechanism consisted of rotaxane molecules between two crossed wires.

The ignition switch usually requires a key be inserted that works a lock built into the switch mechanism.

There are three hypothetical models to describe this switch mechanism:

An evolutionary capacitor is a molecular switch mechanism that can "toggle" genetic variation between hidden and revealed states.

The classic fluorescent lamp design, which has fallen mostly by the wayside, used a special starter switch mechanism to light up the tube.
