Ever need a fact or quotation on peele? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “peele,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for peele, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Patent Usage

Apparatus and method for ensuring proper antenna position: Patented by John Charles Phillips and James C. Peele on November 1, 1999. Abstract: An apparatus and method for ensuring proper antenna position of a cordless communication device having a retractable antenna, including a detector such as a light sensor or induction coil for detecting the antenna position, and an indicator for providing audio and/or visual indication of the antenna position.

Charging and vibrating method using movable magnets for a product using rechargeable batteries: Patented by James Calvin Peele on December 2, 1998. Abstract: An electric charging system includes an electrical charger that generates a magnetic force and a device with an electric current generator that receives a portion of the magnetic force in a non-galvanic manner. The electric current generator generates an electric current in response to receiving the portion of the magnetic force and the electric current is received by a battery.

Method of Using Dna Episomes to Suppress Gene Expression in Plants: Patented by Charles Peele and Michael A. Turnage on June 7, 2001. Abstract: The introduction of DNA episomes into plant cells to reduce or prevent the expression of endogenous plant genes is described. Cabbage leaf curl virus vectors to provide silencing, preferably systemic silencing, of endogenous plant genes in a treated plant are described. Further provided are methods of silencing one or more plant genes, for example, to reduce unwanted gene products or for rapid screening of gene function in plants.

Methods of charging batteries including receiving a magnetic force in a mon-galvanic manner and related devices and charges: Patented by James Calvin Peele on July 6, 2001. Abstract: An electric charging system includes an electrical charger that generates a magnetic force and a device with an electric current generator that receives a portion of the magnetic force in a non-galvanic manner. The electric current generator generates an electric current in response to receiving the portion of the magnetic force and the electric current is received by a battery.

Non-Galvanic Electric Charging System for a Rechargeable Battery and Relative Method: Patented by James C. Peele on November 19, 1999. Abstract: An electric charging system includes an electrical charger (24) that generates a magnetic force and a device with an electric current generator (40) that receives a portion of the magnetic force created by the rotation of the magnet (48) around the shaft (46) in a non-galvanic manner. The electric current generator generates an electric current in response to receiving the portion of the magnetic force and the electric current is received by a battery (42).

PROCESS FOR ENHANCING THE STRENGTH OF ARAMID FABRICS: Patented by Barbara J. Cates, Kevin S. Peele and Patricia A. Schwartz on July 1, 1988. Abstract: Breaking and/or test strength of aramid fabrics are enhanced when finished with a fabric softener. Improvements of up to 50% over the corresponding untreated greige fabrics and up to 45% over the corresponding untreated dyed fabric are achieved without detracting from flame resistance of these fabrics.

Tobacco processing: Patented by David McCray Peele on December 2, 2000. Abstract: Tobaccos are cured in a manner so as to provide tobaccos having extremely low tobacco specific nitrosamine (TSNA) contents. Harvested Virginia tobacco is subjected to flue-curing so as to provide flue-cured tobacco. During the curing processing steps, contact of the tobacco with nitric oxide gases, such as those produced as combustion products of propane burning heating units, is avoided. Tobacco in curing barns is not subjected to direct-fire curing techniques, but rather, heat for tobacco curing can be provided by heat exchange or electrical heating methods.
