One side of the handle includes a bolt that is used to adjust the spacing of the jaws, the other side of the handle especially in larger models often includes a lever to push the two sides of the handles apart to unlock the pliers. Mole and Vise Grip are trade names of different brands of locking pliers.

Refimprove date December 2009 Record locking is the technique of preventing simultaneous access to data in a database , to prevent inconsistent results. The classic example is demonstrated by two banking bank clerks attempting to update the same bank account for two different transactions. Clerks 1 and 2 both retrieve i.e., copy the account s Record database record . Clerk 1 applies and saves a transaction. Clerk 2 applies a different transaction to his saved copy, and saves the result, based on the original record and his changes, overwriting the transaction entered by clerk 1. The record no longer reflects the first transaction, as if it had never taken place. A simple way to prevent this is to File locking lock the file whenever a record is being modified by any user, so that no other user can save data.

CPU locking is the process of permanently setting a Central processing unit CPU s clock multiplier . AMD CPUs are unlocked in early editions of a model and locked in later editions, but nearly all Intel CPUs are locked and recent models are very resistant to unlocking to prevent overclocking by users. AMD ships unlocked CPUs with their Opteron, FX and Black Series line up, while Intel uses the moniker of Extreme Edition. Intel usually has one or two Extreme Edition CPUs on the market, leading their range in clock speed and starting at 999 1499 USD as well as K series CPUs synonymous with AMD s black edition. AMD has the majority of their desktop range in a Black Edition, with very little price differences from the standard editions. Users unlock CPUs to allow underclocking , overclocking , and front side bus speed compatibility with certain motherboards, but unlocking invalidates the manufacturer s warranty and mistakes can cripple a CPU. However, locking a chip s clock multiplier does not necessarily prevent users from overclocking, as the speed of the front side bus can still be changed to provide a performance increase. AMD Athlon and Athlon XP CPUs are generally unlocked by connecting bridges jumper computing jumper like points on the top of the CPU with electrical conduction conductive paint or Graphite pencil lead . Other CPU models determinable by serial number require different procedures to be unlocked. One of the easiest ways to unlock an older AMD Athlon XP CPU was the pin mod method, because it was possible to unlock the CPU without a permanent modification of any bridges. Just putting one wire or some more for a new multiplier Vcore into the socket would unlock the CPU.
