They also have better mechanical stiffness for puncturing through brain tissue.

Silicon technology provides better mechanical stiffness and is a good supporting carrier to allow for multiple recording sites on a single electrode.

This has the advantages of improving mechanical stiffness, and also improving the reliability of the sealing between them.

This also improved the mechanical stiffness of the engine, against bending and the increasingly important torsional twist, as cylinder numbers and engine lengths increased.

Conduit systems are classified by the wall thickness, mechanical stiffness, and material used to make the tubing.

The mechanisms which facilitates the mechanical stiffness has been suggested to be the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and rigid aromati side chains on the peptides.

The high mechanical stiffness of these materials was then attributed to the crystalline nature of the bridges between crystallites rather than, as Peterlin proposed, to tie-molecules.

The amplitudes of the cantilever provide information of local absorption spectra, whereas the oscillation frequencies depend on the mechanical stiffness of the sample (Figure 12).

The expression on his face seemed more natural and relaxed, and his posture and movements lacked even a hint of mechanical stiffness.

The beast could not have died more than an hour previous and yet it had an unnatural, almost mechanical, stiffness.
