Oxygen saturation or dissolved oxygen DO is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is Dissolution chemistry dissolve d or carried in a given medium. It can be measured with a dissolved oxygen probe such as an oxygen sensor or an optode in liquid media, usually water. Oxygen saturation can be measured regionally and non invasively. Arterial oxygenation is commonly measured using pulse oximetry . Tissue saturation at peripheral scale can be measured using near infrared spectroscopy NIRS . This technique can be applied on both muscle as brain. Oxygen in medicine Main Oxygenation medical In medicine , oxygen saturation refers to oxygenation , or when oxygen molecules chem O 2 enter the Tissue biology tissues of the body. In this case blood is oxygenated in the lung s, where oxygen molecules travel from the air and into the blood. Oxygen saturation, or O2 sats measure the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen. Fish, invertebrates, plants, and aerobic bacteria all require oxygen for respiration. Blood is also vital to the body system.

Saturation arithmetic is a version of arithmetic in which all operations such as addition and multiplication are limited to a fixed range between a minimum and maximum value. If the result of an operation is greater than the maximum, it is set clamped to the maximum if it is below the minimum, it is clamped to the minimum. The name comes from how the value becomes saturated once it reaches the extreme values further additions to a maximum or subtractions from a minimum will not change the result. For example, if the valid range of values is from 100 to 100, the following operations produce the following values 60 43 100 60 43 150 50 43 150 100 60 43 150 40 10 11 100 99 99 100 30 5 1 100 30 5 ... fail in saturation arithmetic.

Velocity saturation greatly affects the voltage transfer characteristics of a field effect transistor , which is the basic device used in most integrated circuits designed and produced in the world. If a semiconductor device enters velocity saturation, an increase in voltage applied to the device will not cause a linear increase in current as would be expected by Ohm s law . Instead, the current may only increase by a small amount, or not at all. It is possible to take advantage of this result when trying to design a device that will pass a constant current regardless of the voltage applied, a current limiter in effect.

The yellow curve illustrates the growth weighted by the size of the market. As for logistic growth, the yellow curve shows, that even a large market size cannot strengthen growth when approaching saturation. Logistic growth never is negative, but in the saturation area, the growth is as small as before the market took off. In the example all curves are scaled to cover the range between 0 and 1.

Saturation velocity is the maximum velocity a charge carrier in a semiconductor , generally an electron , attains in the presence of very high electric field s ref Fundamentals of Semiconductors Physics and Materials Properties , Peter Y. Yu, Manuel Cardona, pp.227 228, Springer, New York 2005, ISBN 3 540 25470 6 ref . Charge carrier s normally move at an average drift speed proportional to the electric field strength they experience temporally. The proportionality constant is known as Electrical mobility mobility of the carrier, which is a material property. A good Electrical conductor conductor would have a high mobility value for its charge carrier, which means higher velocity, and consequently higher current values for a given electric field strength. There is a limit though to this process and at some high field value, a charge carrier can not move any faster, having reached its saturation velocity, due to mechanisms that eventually limit the movement of the carriers in the material ref GaAs Devices and Circuits , Michael Shur, pp.310 324, Plenum Press, NY 1987, ISBN 0 306 42192 5 ref . Saturation velocity is a very important parameter in the design of semiconductor devices, especially field effect transistors , which are basic building blocks of almost all modern integrated circuits . Typical values of saturation velocity may vary greatly for different materials, for example for Silicon Si it is in the order of 1 10 sup 7 sup cm s, for GaAs 1.2 10 sup 7 sup cm s, while for SiC 6H SiC , it is near 2 10 sup 7 sup cm s.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Saturation attack is a military tactic in which the attacking side hopes to gain an advantage by overwhelming the defending side s technological, physical and mental ability to respond effectively. During the Cold War and after the conventional saturation missile attack against naval and land targets was and is a much feared eventuality. Theoretical calculations Taking the design of an anti ship missile as a theoretical example, one can begin with the goal of creating a missile which will get through and destroy its target 100 of the time. However as a designer one knows that with time an opponent will develop counter measures that means that your missile will at some later date not be 100 effective. So given that a missile will only ever be less than perfect why not design a missile that will get through to the target say only 70 or even only 50 of time, with a cost saving benefit on each missile produced. Launched singly a missile with a 50 chance of getting through to its target will only get to its target 50 of the time, but with a salvo two such missiles the chance of at least one missile getting through is 75 , with three missiles 87.5 etc, with the probability that at least one missile will get through to its target becoming closer to certainty with each missile fired. If each missile has a warhead capable of destroying the target, then no individual missile can be ignored by the target warship and counter measures. Thus, Surface to air missile SAMs and Close in weapon system CIW resources will have to be expended to defend the target. To further overload a target s ability to defend itself, an attacker can attempt to launch multiple missiles from multiple directions using different guidance options.

Saturation pollination is a Pollination management pollination technique for agriculture agricultural Crop agriculture crops in areas dominated by non crop plant species that are preferred by pollinators. The technique involves keeping a larger number of bee colonies than normally maintained for honey production so as to exhaust the preferred plants and ensure visitation of the crop plants by the bees. ref McGregor, S.E. 1976. Insect Pollination Of Cultivated Crop Plants. USDA http gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov book ref The technique is applied in areas that are normally avoided by beekeepers because of poor honey yields. Saturation pollination is especially important for those with special pollination problems, such as crops with flower s that are unattractive to Western honey bee s kiwifruit , for example , that have nectar that is low in sugar s, or crops that have been moved from their native areas without the corresponding movement of their normal pollinators.

The saturation vapor curve usually states for the separation curve between the two phase state and the vapor state in the T s diagram . When used in a Thermodynamic cycle power cycle , the fluid expansion depends strongly on the nature of this saturation curve A wet fluid shows a negative saturation vapor curve. If overheating before the expansion is limited, a two phase state is obtained at the end of the expansion. Image Wet fluid.png 350px Wet fluid in an ORC cycle An isentropic fluid shows a vertical saturation vapor curve. It remains very close to the saturated vapor state after an hypothetical isentropic expansion. Image Isentropic fluid.png 350px Isentropic fluid in an ORC cycle A dry fluid shows a positive saturation vapor curve. It is in dry vapor state at the end of the expansion, and strongly overheated.

Unreferenced date December 2006 Fibre saturation point is a term used in wood mechanics and especially wood drying , to denote the point in the drying process at which only water bound in the cell walls remains all other water, called free water, having been removed from the cell cavities. Further drying of the wood results in strengthening of the wood fibres, and is usually accompanied by shrinkage. Wood is normally dried to a point where it is in equilibrium with the atmospheric moisture content or relative humidity, and since this varies so does the equilibrium moisture content .
