Satire | IN':ARDS:, n. The stomach, heart, soul and other bowels. Many eminent investigators do not class the soul as an in'ard, but that acute observer and renowned authority, Dr. Gunsaulus, is persuaded that the mysterious organ known as the spleen is nothing less than our important part. To the contrary, Professor Garrett P. Servis holds that man's soul is that prolongation of his spinal marrow which forms the pith of his no tail; and for demonstration of his faith points confidently to the fact that no tailed animals have no souls. Concerning these two theories, it is best to suspend judgment by believing both. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |

An inch is an Imperial unit of length. Sweden also briefly had a "decimal inch" based on the metric system: see below for more.
According to some sources, the inch was originally defined informally as the distance between the tip of the thumb and the first joint of the thumb. Another source says that the inch was at one time defined in terms of the yard, supposedly defined as the distance between Henry I of England's nose and his thumb. There are twelve inches in a foot, and three feet in a yard.
Historically, the inch has referred to several slightly different units of length, used in different parts of the world. Today there are two units called the "inch" still in use, both being largely confined to the United States. Other countries, which previously had their own separate definitions of the inch, have converted to using the metric system instead. When the inch being referred to is not specified, it almost always means the international inch.
The international inch is defined in terms of the metric system of units to be exactly 25.4 mm. This definition was agreed upon by the U.S. and the British Commonwealth in 1958. Prior to that, the U.S. and Canada each had their own, slightly different definition of the inch in terms of metric units, while the U.K. and other Commonwealth countries defined the inch in terms of the Imperial Standard Yard. The definition adopted was the Canadian definition.
However, the U.S. continued to use its previous national definition of the inch for surveying purposes. This inch, known as the U.S. survey inch, is defined so that 1 metre is exactly 39.37 survey inches. 1 survey inch equals approximately 25.40000508 mm, or 1.000002 international inches. Whilst the difference between the two units is only approximately two parts per million, the difference between the two units makes a significant difference of many meters when the unit is used to define measurements made on the scale of distances of thousands of kilometers.
The thou (pronounced "thow" as in thousandth, not "thou" as in the pronoun) is a unit sometimes used in engineering equivalent to one-thousandth of an international inch, and thus defined to be 25.4 μm. Use of the thou is now generally deprecated in favour of the use of SI units.
The unit is sometimes denoted by a quotation mark (ex. 30" = 30 inches).

Sweden
In the 19th century, Sweden devised a way into the metric world. First, in 1855-1863 the existing "working inch" was changed into a "decimal inch" which was 1/10 foot or approximately 0.03 meters. Proponents argued that a decimal system simplifies calculations, but having two different inch measures turned out to be so complicated that in 1878-1889 it was agreed to introduce the metric units.

Miscellaneous Information
Most of Indiana has exempted itself from the observation of daylight saving time. The area that is within the Eastern time zone is legally exempt from daylight saving time; some counties within this area, particularly Floyd, Clark, and Harrison counties near Louisville, Kentucky, and Ohio and Dearborn counties near Cincinnati, Ohio, observe daylight saving time unofficially and illegally by local custom. Several counties in the northwestern corner of Indiana, near Chicago, Illinois, and several counties in the southwestern corner of Indiana are in the Central time zone and remain subject to daylight saving time.
Indiana is also the name of a town in Pennsylvania; see Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Indium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol In and atomic number 49. This rare, soft, malleable and easily fusible true metal, is chemically similar to aluminum or gallium but looks more like zinc (zinc ores are also the primary source of this metal). Its current primary application is to form thin-films for use as lubricated layers (during WWII it was widely used to coat bearings in high-performance aircraft).

Indium is a very soft, silvery-white true metal that has a bright luster. As a pure metal indium emits a high-pitched "cry" when it is bent. Both gallium and indium are able to wet glass.Applications
The first large-scale application for indium was as a coating for bearingss in high-performance aircraft engines during World War II. Afterwards, production gradually increased as new uses were found in fusible alloys, solders, and electronics. In the middle and late 1980s, the development of indium phosphide semiconductors and indium-tin-oxide thin films for liquid crystal displays (LCD) aroused much interest. By 1992, the thin-film application had become the largest end use. Other uses;
- Used in the manufacture of low-melting alloys. An alloy consisting of 24% indium and 76% gallium is liquid at room temperature.
- Used to make photoconductors, germanium transistors, rectifiers, and thermistors.
- Can also be plated onto metals and evaporated onto glass which forms a mirror which is as good as those made with silver but has higher corrosion resistance.
- Its oxide is used in the making of electroluminescent panels.
History
Indium (named after the indigo line in its atomic spectrum) was discovered by Ferdinand Reich and Theodore Richter in 1863 while they were testing zinc ores with a spectrograph in search of thallium. Richter went on to isolate the metal in 1867.Occurrence
Indium is produced mainly from residues generated during zinc ore processing but is also found in iron, lead, and copper ores. The amount of indium consumed is largely a function of worldwide LCD production. Increased manufacturing efficiency and recycling (especially in Japan) maintain a balance between demand and supply. The average indium price for 2000 was US$188188 per kilogram.Up until 1924, there was only about a gram of isolated indium on the planet. The Earth is estimated to contain abou 0.1 ppm of indium which means it is about as abundant as silver. Canada is a leading producer of indium, producing more than 1,000,000 troy ounces in 1997.
Precautions
There is some unconfirmed evidence that suggests that indium has a low level of toxicity. However in the welding and semiconductor industries, where indium exposure is relatively high, there have been no reports of any toxic side-effects.
