But Aleguas points out that vomiting is a useful clue that you've drank too much—a clue you don't get if you're smoking the stuff.

Because the 2020 White House budget was developed and published by the White House itself, it is perhaps the most useful clue about how the president imagines a world without Obamacare.

A useful clue is that whitebark pines almost never have intact old cones lying under them, whereas limber pines usually do.

CLS Bank, the Supreme Court held that the machine-or- transformation test was only a "useful clue" to patent eligibility and specified a two-step patent eligibility test in which the court first had to determine whether the patent claim under analysis was directed to an abstract principle and, if so, whether the principle was implemented in an inventive rather than conventional manner, as prescribed in Flook.

The most useful clue will be the presence of 'warm up' and 'cool down'. This means that whereas a reentrant tachycardia will both begin and end abruptly as cardiac conduction utilises then ceases to utilise the accessory pathway, an automatic tachycardia will rise and fall gradually in rate as the automatic focus increases and decreases its automatic rate of electrical discharge.Lister B et al. Paediatric BASIC: Basic Assessment and Support in Paediatric Intensive Care.

A useful clue to distinguish them is the profile of the end of the tail when the animal has been disturbed or is preserved. The tail of D. invadens usually slants vertically upward from the sole for a short distance, or even bends backwards. The tail of D. laeve slopes forward above the sole. Also, the tail of D. invadens is longer than the mantle, whereas it is the same length or shorter in D. laeve.

Since a person entitled to wear a coronet customarily displays it in his or her coat of arms above the shield and below the helmet and crest, this can provide a useful clue as to the owner of a given coat of arms. In Canadian heraldry, descendants of the United Empire Loyalists are entitled to use a Loyalist military coronet (for descendants of members of Loyalist regiments) or Loyalist civil coronet (for others) in their arms.

In the absence of cones, limber pine can also be hard to tell from Western white pine (P. monticola) where they occur together in the northern Rockies and the Sierra Nevada east slope. The most useful clue here is that limber pine needles are entire (smooth when rubbed gently in both directions), whereas Western white pine needles are finely serrated (feeling rough when rubbed gently from tip to base). Limber pine needles are also usually shorter, long, while western white pine needles are , though the ranges overlap.

There are some unusual outliers that satisfy the test but are patent-ineligible and some that do not satisfy the test but are patent-eligible. The Supreme Court's subsequent analyses in the Bilski and Alice cases confirms the inability of the machine-or-transformation test to cover all possible cases, as the foregoing examples suggest. Therefore, these "thought experiment" patent claims show that, while the machine-or- transformation test is a valuable and useful clue, as the Alice case states, and it may well cover most practical cases, it is neither a necessary nor sufficient test of patent eligibility.

Free carrier absorption occurs when a material absorbs a photon, and a carrier (electron or hole) is excited from an already-excited state to another, unoccupied state in the same band (but possibly a different subband). This intraband absorption is different from interband absorption because the excited carrier is already in an excited band, such as an electron in the conduction band or a hole in the valence band, where it is free to move. In interband absorption, the carrier starts in a fixed, nonconducting band and is excited to a conducting one. It is well known that the optical transition of electrons and holes in the solid state is a useful clue to understand the physical properties of the material.
