Pulses

Beans and peanuts are pulses; many wildflowers, forbs.

Neutron stars spin rapidly giving off radio waves. If the radio waves appear to be emitted in pulses (due to the star's spin), these neutron stars are called pulsars.

2016 is the International Year of Pulses.

2016 was declared the International Year of Pulses by the United Nations General Assembly.

The machines navigate using a combination of pre-programmed maps and real-time sensing including Lidar, which sends and receives light pulses to create a 3-D scan of the ever-changing surroundings.

Satellites use radar and laser pulses to measure the height of the world's polar ice sheets and ice shelves.

Because these transient radio pulses disappear in much less than the blink of an eye, researchers have had a hard time tracking down where they come from, much less determining what kind of object or objects is causing them.

Pulses of rain will move across the country from the west, clearing the east coast by mid-morning.

Its payload is practically symbolic: a 100-kilogram satellite with a projected one-year life span containing an experimental oscillator that emits ultra short laser pulses.

They've created a prosthetic device with an encoder that mimics the neural language or pulses that are normally sent from the retina's ganglion cells to the brain where it is deciphered and perceived as imagery.
