problem arose, how to warn the user that the tape reel was about to run out?
The solution was simple: the last few meters of tape were dyed pink. The
rest is easy. Since the tape is pink, a new reel should be installed. From
our point of view, there is a situation, when the stream of substance (the
tape), which carries the stream of information for the machine, became the
carrier of one more stream of information for the user."@en, "A two-stroke engine. In it, unlike a conventional engine,
where the flows of fuel and lubricating oil are separated, oil is injected
directly into petrol, i.e. there is a transfer of one flow by the
other."@en, "A strong smelling substance (mercaptan) was added to
household gas. The gas stream now carries with it a signal stream informing
people about a leakage."@en
