Engineering and Devices

Electrical Fuse

An electrical fuse is a safety device in designed to protect circuits from by incorporating a thin wire or metal strip that melts when the current exceeds safe levels, thereby interrupting the circuit and preventing damage or hazards. This protection is essential for safeguarding equipment and wiring in various systems. The concept was pioneered in the late , with patenting a fuse-block design on October 14, 1890, as part of his electric distribution system to protect lighting circuits from overloads. By the early 1900s, fuses had become integral to household wiring, particularly with the adoption of knob-and-tube systems in North American homes from around 1880 to the 1940s, enabling safer distribution of for emerging residential applications. Electrical fuses are categorized by response characteristics and construction, including fast-acting fuses that rapidly interrupt current upon detecting to protect sensitive components, and time-delay fuses that tolerate temporary surges, such as those from motor startups, before blowing. They are rated by amperage to match requirements, with common household values like 15 A for standard outlets and lighting s ensuring compatibility with typical loads. Resettable devices like circuit breakers serve similar protective roles but differ from traditional fuses by mechanically tripping without melting, allowing after . The operation of an electrical fuse relies on Joule heating, where excessive generates heat in the fuse element according to the principle Q = I^2 R t, with Q as heat energy, I as , R as , and t as time, causing the material to reach its and open the . This thermal mechanism ensures reliable interruption, typically within milliseconds for fast-acting types. Fuses find primary applications in residential panels to avert fires from overloads, automotive systems for protecting wiring and , and setups for machinery safeguards, adhering to standards such as UL 248, which specifies testing for low-voltage fuses up to 1000 V and interrupting capacities to 300 kA. Modern variants include surface-mount fuses, compact devices soldered directly onto printed circuit boards for overcurrent protection in and . Additionally, smart fuses integrate monitoring capabilities, such as real-time current and temperature sensing via embedded units, enabling and remote diagnostics in advanced systems.

Explosive Fuse

An explosive fuse is a pyrotechnic or mechanical device designed to convey , , or a wave from an initiator to an explosive charge, thereby triggering at a controlled time or location. Unlike the military term "," which typically denotes sophisticated impact, proximity, or sensor-based initiators for munitions, "fuse" commonly refers to simpler cord-like or tubular mechanisms for delay or in and basic military applications. Safety fuses represent one primary type, consisting of a core of black powder () train encased in a protective or waterproof sheath, typically 5 mm in diameter, to provide a predictable delay before . These burn at a uniform rate of approximately 131 ± 13 seconds per meter (or 7.5 mm per second), allowing users to calculate safe retreat times based on length. Detonating cords, another key variant, are high-explosive linear charges with a core of (PETN) surrounded by a , enabling near-instantaneous transmission of a shockwave at velocities up to 6,400 meters per second. Electronic fuses, used for precision timing, employ battery-powered circuits and detonators to initiate charges via electrical signals, often in programmable delays down to milliseconds, enhancing control in complex operations. The origins of explosive fuses trace back to the 1830s, when English inventor William Bickford patented the in 1831 to address the unreliability of loose trains in , where premature ignitions caused frequent accidents. This innovation spread rapidly for civilian blasting and was adapted in the for shells, replacing less predictable friction or impact primers with timed black powder delays. During , advancements culminated in variable-time (VT) fuzes—early electronic proximity systems developed by Allied scientists—which used miniaturized to detect targets and detonate shells automatically, dramatically improving anti-aircraft and artillery effectiveness without physical contact. In operation, the burning rate of a fuse like the or visco type (a modern variant for with a similar black powder but visible external ) is governed by the core composition and confinement; for instance, visco fuses burn at about 1 cm per second, producing a steady that ignites a blasting cap or . For detonating cords, generates a high-velocity shockwave that propagates along the PETN , reliably setting off adjacent explosives without low-order risks. This shockwave ensures across connected charges, critical for synchronized blasts. Explosive fuses find wide application in and for controlled rock fragmentation, where safety fuses provide retreat delays during blasting; in for timed aerial displays; and in for initiating charges in grenades or demolition kits. Safety regulations, including United Nations standards under the Recommendations on the Transport of , classify fuses as Class 1 explosives (divisions 1.1 to 1.4 based on hazard) and mandate segregated packaging, labeling, and quantity limits to prevent accidental initiation during shipment. Post-2000 developments have introduced -initiated fuses for smart munitions, where a remote beam ignites a sensitive primary via or direct exposure, offering enhanced safety by eliminating electrical vulnerabilities and enabling precise, one-way arming in guided missiles and . These systems, reviewed in defense energetics literature, support modern precision strikes by integrating with sensor-fuzed warheads for target-specific .

Hydraulic Fuse

A hydraulic fuse is a safety device installed in hydraulic circuits of s, functioning as a normally open or restrictor that limits or stops flow in response to sudden excessive rates or volumes, thereby preventing catastrophic drops and maintaining balance during failures such as ruptures. These devices monitor flow velocity or quantity and activate to isolate affected sections, analogous to electrical fuses but tailored for to avert uncontrolled loss. Hydraulic fuses were developed in the mid-20th century for heavy machinery applications, with early patents describing excess-flow types designed to restrict line flow during malfunctions. By the 1960s, their integration into aviation hydraulics became standardized, enhancing reliability in aircraft systems amid broader advancements in hydraulic technology for commercial and military use. Common types include fixed-orifice fuses, which provide a constant restriction calibrated to a specific and close instantly if exceeded; variable-orifice models, adjustable via pressure differentials to adapt to demands; and priority flow fuses, which prioritize to critical actuators in load-sensing setups while restricting excess. The operation relies on principles of , where a sudden demand spike causes high through a restrictive , generating a governed by Bernoulli's : \Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 Here, \Delta P is the , \rho is fluid density, and v is ; this limits flow and triggers closure to prevent bursts. Devices activate on thresholds like 15-60 L/min for typical models, ensuring rapid response without impeding normal operation. In applications, hydraulic fuses safeguard systems such as retraction to isolate leaks and preserve control; construction equipment like excavators, where they prevent boom drops from line ; and industrial presses, averting cylinder overloads that could rupture hoses. Standards like ISO 4413 outline requirements for hydraulic systems, mandating fuses in designs to mitigate risks from surges, with testing focused on reliability and modes such as , addressed through upstream filters to maintain fluid cleanliness. involves flow and endurance trials to verify activation under malfunction conditions.

Computing and Technology

Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)

(FUSE) is an interface for operating systems that enables non-privileged users to implement file systems in user space without requiring modifications to the code. Introduced by Miklos Szeredi in 2001, FUSE provides a mechanism for user-space programs to export virtual file systems to the , simplifying the development of custom file systems by avoiding the complexities and risks associated with programming. The framework consists of a module, a user-space library, and a mount utility, allowing developers to create file systems that appear as standard directories to applications while handling operations in user space. The architecture of FUSE involves a module (fuse.ko) that intercepts file system calls from the (VFS) layer and forwards them to a user-space daemon via a dedicated character device (/dev/fuse) using the . This daemon, implemented using the libfuse library, processes requests such as mounting, reading, writing, and directory traversal, then returns responses to the for completion. The ensures reliable communication, with the queuing requests and the daemon handling them asynchronously or synchronously depending on the used. If the daemon fails or crashes, the detects the issue and propagates appropriate I/O errors to users, enhancing system stability. Key features of FUSE include its portability across multiple platforms, with native support on and adaptations for macOS via macFUSE, through ports like fusefs-libs, and other systems. It supports robust error handling for files and operations, making it suitable for scenarios involving unreliable backends. A prominent example is , which leverages FUSE to mount remote directories over SSH connections as local file systems, enabling seamless access to remote storage without kernel-level drivers. Historically, FUSE evolved from its 2001 introduction, with libfuse released in 2004 introducing enhancements for stability and refinements, followed by version 2.4 in 2006 adding multi-threading support via the "-mt" interface for concurrent request processing. The libfuse library advanced further with the release of version 3.0 in 2016, featuring a modernized and enhanced capabilities, with ongoing updates to version 3.17.1 as of 2023. In the , integration with in distributions allowed automated management of FUSE mounts through .mount units, improving service reliability and boot-time mounting of user-space file systems. FUSE finds applications in interfaces, encrypted file systems like —which transparently encrypts files on disk using FUSE—and network file systems such as for secure remote access. These uses benefit from FUSE's ease of development but incur performance trade-offs due to user-space overhead, with studies showing degradation ranging from negligible for cache-heavy workloads to up to 83% slower than kernel-native file systems like in I/O-intensive scenarios, often around 10-20% for typical mixed loads. Development of FUSE occurs under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1, permitting broad reuse in both open-source and proprietary projects. The primary API entry point is the fuse_main() function, which initializes the file system by parsing command-line arguments, setting up the mount point, and entering the main request-processing loop.

Software Tools and Emulators

The Fuse emulator, formally known as the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator, is an open-source software application developed by Philip Kendall and first released in 1999 for emulating the ZX Spectrum home computer and its variants. It provides accurate emulation of models such as the 48K, 128K, +2, +2A, +3, and several clones like the Pentagon and Scorpion, including faithful reproduction of the original hardware's display, sound, and peripherals. Key features include support for loading tape images in .tzx format with accelerated loading, snapshot files for saving game states, and playback of RZX input recordings that capture real-time user interactions for demonstrations or competitions. Released under the GNU General Public License version 2.0, the emulator fosters a vibrant user community that contributes extensions, such as additional hardware peripherals and UI improvements, through its SourceForge project page. Adobe Fuse, rebranded as Mixamo Fuse following 's 2015 acquisition of , was a character creation tool launched in that year to enable users to assemble custom models by mixing and matching pre-built body parts, clothing, and accessories from asset libraries. The software emphasized for game developers and animators, allowing seamless export of rigged models compatible with 's ecosystem, including direct integration with Photoshop for posing and animating characters via drag-and-drop from Creative Cloud Libraries, and compatibility with for further motion work. In contrast to the open-source nature of the Fuse emulator, Fuse operated as a closed within Creative Cloud, with community-driven asset sharing through official forums but limited extensibility. Development ceased in 2019, with the standalone application discontinued in September 2020; however, existing character assets were migrated to the platform for continued use in workflows. Fuse Universal is a proprietary digital learning platform established in 2008 by Steve Dineen, designed primarily for enterprise employee training and through an integrated (LMS) and learning experience platform (LXP).

Electronic and Integration Systems

Electronic fuses, commonly known as e-fuses, are microscopic programmable elements integrated into chips to enable one-time configuration changes. Developed by and announced in 2004, e-fuses utilize in or links to permanently alter connectivity by applying a high-voltage , typically in the range of 5-7 V for a brief duration to melt or disrupt the conductive path. This technology evolved from earlier -based fuses, offering scalability for advanced nodes from 180 nm down to 45 nm and beyond, without requiring external laser equipment during manufacturing. Unlike traditional antifuses that rely on , 's e-fuse approach focuses on metal migration for reliable bit storage, supporting applications like chip identification, authentication, and analog trimming. In semiconductor applications, e-fuses play a critical role in improving manufacturing yield by facilitating redundancy repair, particularly in CPUs and arrays. For instance, they allow sparing of defective cores or memory cells by rerouting signals through built-in testing engines that detect faults and fuses to activate redundant paths, a process that can occur post-fabrication or even during operation in some designs. This was notably implemented in IBM's and PowerPC 970FX processors at the 90 nm node, where e-fuses enabled dynamic self-healing to maintain performance under varying workloads. Standards for e-fuse integration in memory repair, including error-correcting code () support and built-in self-repair mechanisms, align with general guidelines for die products, such as those in JESD49A for known good die (KGD) procurement, ensuring interoperability in high-reliability systems.

Science

Physics and Chemistry

In physics and chemistry, to fuse means to melt a substance by intense heat, resulting in coalescence or blending of materials into a unified mass. The term originates from the Latin verb fundere, meaning "to pour," and entered English in the late 17th century as a back-formation from "fusion," denoting the process of melting or liquefying by heat. From a physical perspective, fusion involves the phase transition of solids to liquids, where heat energy overcomes intermolecular forces without an initial rise in temperature. This latent heat of fusion, denoted as L_f, is defined as the energy Q required per unit mass m to achieve the phase change: L_f = \frac{Q}{m} For example, in soldering, a tin-lead (Sn-Pb) alloy with a eutectic composition of 63% Sn and 37% Pb melts at 183°C, allowing precise joining of metals through localized fusion. Chemically, fusible substances include low-melting alloys designed for specific applications; , composed of , lead, tin, and , melts at approximately 70°C and is used in valves to trigger release upon heat exposure. In metallurgical processes like , fluxes such as or silica are added to ores to lower melting points by forming , which facilitates the separation of metals through enhanced reactivity and fluidity. A key concept in these processes is the eutectic mixture, where two or more components combine to form an with the lowest possible , enabling efficient phase changes at reduced temperatures compared to pure elements. Such mixtures underpin applications like , where metals are heated to their s to form strong bonds without additional fillers, and glassblowing, in which compatible glass sheets are fused at around 1490°F (810°C) in a to create seamless structures. The understanding of fusion advanced significantly in the 18th century through Joseph Black's experiments, which first quantified in 1762 by demonstrating the substantial energy absorbed during ice melting without temperature change. In modern contexts, fusion principles are applied in for , where filaments are extruded and layers bond through controlled melting. Melting points and heat of fusion are precisely measured using (), a technique that detects endothermic peaks in heat flow as a sample transitions phases under programmed heating.

Biology

Cell fusion is a fundamental biological process in which the plasma membranes of two or more cells merge to form a single continuous , allowing the exchange of cellular contents and often resulting in a multinucleated . This merger is mediated by specialized proteins known as fusogens, such as SNAREs in intracellular vesicle fusion or viral glycoproteins and gamete-specific proteins in cell-cell fusion, which overcome the energy barriers posed by the hydrophobic cores of the bilayers. The process typically begins with close apposition of the membranes, followed by hemifusion where the outer leaflets merge first, creating a lipidic connection, and progresses to full fusion with the formation and expansion of a fusion pore that connects the cytoplasms. Mechanistically, cell fusion requires the resolution of high energetic barriers, including dehydration of the phospholipid headgroups and rearrangement of the acyl chains. Proteins like SNAREs form trans-complexes that zipper membranes together, providing the mechanical force for fusion, often triggered by calcium ions that activate synaptotagmin or by pH changes that induce conformational shifts in fusogens. In hemifusion intermediates, the inner leaflets remain separate until the fusion stalk expands into a pore, a step facilitated by curvature-inducing lipids or proteins.00536-2) In reproduction, is essential for fertilization, where the fusogen HAP2 (also known as GCS1) mediates merger with the in , protists, and some animals, enabling genetic material transfer. During muscle development, myoblasts fuse to form multinucleated myofibers, driven by proteins like Myomaker and Myomerger, which ensure proper formation and function. In placental development, cells fuse into the layer, a barrier that facilitates nutrient exchange and hormone production between mother and fetus. Pathologically, viral infections exploit for entry and spread; for instance, HIV's envelope glycoprotein gp120 binds on T cells, triggering gp41-mediated of the viral membrane with the host cell. Similarly, () fusion protein induces syncytia formation in airway cells, enhancing viral dissemination and contributing to severe . The study of originated in the 1950s with observations of syncytia induced by Sendai virus in , highlighting virus-mediated membrane merger. This work laid the foundation for understanding mechanisms, culminating in the 2013 in or awarded to James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekman, and Thomas C. Südhof for elucidating the machinery of vesicle trafficking, including SNARE-mediated events critical to cellular processes. Laboratory techniques for studying cell fusion include -induced , a non-specific method that dehydrates membranes to promote merger, widely used to generate hybrid cells for genetic studies. Inhibitors like (LPC) reversibly block at the hemifusion stage by altering lipid curvature, allowing researchers to synchronize and dissect intermediates.

Entertainment

Music

In music, the term "fuse" commonly denotes the blending of diverse genres and styles to create innovative sounds, with jazz-rock fusion serving as a seminal example. Pioneered by trumpeter Miles Davis in the late 1960s, this subgenre integrated jazz improvisation with rock's electric instrumentation, amplified rhythms, and funk grooves, marking a departure from traditional acoustic jazz. Davis's landmark albums In a Silent Way (1969) and Bitches Brew (1970) exemplified this approach, employing studio editing techniques and ensembles featuring guitarists like John McLaughlin and keyboardists such as Joe Zawinul to produce layered, psychedelic compositions that expanded jazz's audience and influenced progressive rock and electronic music. The concept of fusion extends prominently into electronic music, where "Fuse" has branded key events and institutions tied to house and techno origins. In Detroit—the birthplace of techno—the Fuse-In Detroit Electronic Movement festival emerged in 2005 under the direction of techno pioneer , reviving the annual Memorial Day weekend event after a hiatus and featuring multiple stages with dozens of artists performing high-energy sets that celebrated the city's underground legacy. This iteration, part of the evolving lineage, underscored fusion's role in uniting global DJs and producers, though subsequent editions rebranded as while maintaining over 115 performers in 2023 and continuing in 2025 (May 24-26) with a lineup including and to highlight genre-blending electronic acts.

Exposure to Fuse in the game's universe enhances abilities but risks catastrophic instability, and it inspired brief comic tie-ins by Radical Comics exploring the Overstrike team's encounters. Idiomatically, "blow a fuse" describes suddenly losing one's temper, originating in early 20th-century as an to an overloaded electrical failing. Similarly, "short fuse" denotes a quick-tempered person, drawing from 19th-century explosives terminology where a brief fuse leads to rapid detonation; the figurative sense emerged in mid-20th-century English. These expressions evolved in popular literature during the mid-20th century, appearing in novels to characterize volatile characters under pressure. In , "fuse" describes the congenital union of floral parts, such as petals merging to form a tubular , as seen in snapdragons (), where five petals fuse into a two-lipped structure that aids by attracting . This enhances flower durability and specificity in reproductive strategies across many angiosperms.
