Occasionally, the cat's body may use vomiting to clear the intestines of toxins. If the vomit contains excessive amounts of mucus, an inflamed intestine may be the cause. Undigested food in the vomit can be due to food poisoning, anxiety, or simply overeating.
The Schmitt Trigger. The Schmitt trigger is a comparator application which switches the output negative when the input passes upward through a positive reference voltage. It then uses positive feedback of a negative voltage to prevent switching back to the other state until the input passes through a lower threshold voltage, thus stabilizing the switching against rapid triggering by noise as it passes the trigger point.
Trigger fingers is a common disorder characterized by catching, snapping or locking of the involved finger flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction and pain. It is a sub-set of stenosing tenosynovitis. A disparity in size between the flexor tendon and the surrounding retinacular pulley system, most commonly at the level of the first annular pulley, results in difficulty flexing or extending the finger and the triggering phenomenon. The label of trigger finger is used because when the finger unlocks, it pops back suddenly, as if releasing a trigger on a gun.
