→ skos:note → "Usually, every transformation of a flo (transfer of substances from one state to another, the change of types of energy, the change in the way information is represented) is accompanied by losses and inhibition. Consequently, reducing the number of such transformations leads to an increase in conductivity. Ideally, there should be no transformations at all, and all components of flows should immediately have the form necessary for their final use."@en

In a fuel cell, the transformation is only one: Chemical energy of the fuel -> electrical energy. Consequently, the efficiency of a fuel cell is twice as high."@en

In today's systems, the source of rotation is located in the housing of the drill, i.e. the flow length is reduced to almost zero."@en, "As an example from another field, it is a well-known fact to all militaries that highly stretched communications have an extremely detrimental effect on troop supply, so reduced communications (i.e. shorter equipment flow lengths) is a constant headache for strategists."@en

Consequently, the elimination of grey areas indirectly leads to an increase in conductivity through better optimisation."@en

This area can be eliminated by various means, such as targeting ads to supposedly homogenous groups, for example, Barbie dolls are advertised in cartoons targeted at girls, or the charms of military service in the commercial breaks of martial arts movies."@en, "Fishing. A school of fish cannot be seen underwater and its behaviour cannot be accurately predicted, so ensuring a steady flow of fish from the sea to the fishing vessel is difficult -- causing many unnecessary costs in unsuccessful net casts and idle crossings.

→ skos:example → "filters that prevent allergy-causing particles from reaching the nasal mucosa. While good at trapping allergens, they have proven to be a serious obstacle to air (a typical 'bottle neck') - it is so difficult to breathe through them that such filters have not been widely used. Therefore, in line with the trend, the company GEN3 has developed anti-allergen nasal inserts working on the cyclone principle. In these inserts, the swirling air flow causes the particles suspended in the air to be ejected by centrifugal force to the walls and adhere to the non-drying glue-coated surface; the air itself flows freely, experiencing almost no additional resistance. This eliminates the bottle neck."@en
