The Pickle Fork Should Only be Used for Serving and not Otherwise
Pickles are a delicacy that is made and liked in almost all the parts of the world. Pickles are made from a variety of fruits and vegetables such as raw mango, lime, tamarind, cucumber etc. These pickles are stored in large glass jars until they are ready to eat. Pickles are good snacks as well as appetizers.
Pickle fork is a fork with a long handle that is used to remove pickle from a large jar. It serves a very good purpose as the pickles are stored in large glass and picking up the pickles by hand is almost impossible. The pickle fork is also used for serving pickles. It is generally has two or three prongs. It is bigger than a seafood fork yet smaller than a dinner fork.
A pickle fork allows us to easily and hygienically remove pickles from the jar. The forks neither enable the users to extract the pickles without getting their hands wet with the brine nor do they allow any contamination of the other contents. Earlier people tried to use regular forks to extract the pickles from the jar. But it was not a good method as the pickles are slippery and smooth on the inside and generally slip off the regular fork. Hence the method was abandoned although a few improvements were tried to be made with these forks.
There are some specific methods to hold pickles by the pickle fork. The first one is as follows. The prongs of the pickle fork should be made to face the outside of the pickle on its sides. This creates an upward slope and enables proper and firm holding of the pickle on the fork. The pickle has no scope to fall off. This is the case with 2 pronged forks. With the 3 pronged forks, the middle prong remains taut and hence it is possible for the pickle to firmly stick to the fork.
The second method is to add hooks to the fork. It works just like a fish hook or bait. The pickle is secured firmly in place and thus can be extracted very easily. The fork otherwise just works like the earlier method that is the two pronged one faces on the outside edge of the pickle and in case of 3 pronged fork, the middle prong remains straight thus securing the pickle in place.
In any of the above mentioned methods, the pickles can be removed from the fork by shaking the fork a bit or placing it against the upper edge of a plate. However it is recommended that pickle should not be eaten directly off the fork. The pickle fork is used only for serving and not otherwise. It should be eaten only with hands and may be put inside a sandwich or a hamburger.
Pickle fork is a term that is used in automobile industry even. In industry it is used for separating the tie rods, ball joints, and many other parts which are secured tightly in position by friction around the shaft. The fork used looks more like a tuning fork rather than a pickle fork. Thus, it can be seen that pickle forks are used in some of the most important fields that is, food and industry.

how does sound travel from one tuning fork to another?
Does tuning fork with the same amplitude have the same frequency? if you hit two tuning forks, then stop one how come you could hear the other one still producing sound?
Frequency and amplitude are not interrelated. Just because two tuning forks have the same amplitude does not mean they have the same frequency.
If you have two tuning forks with the same frequency, then due to resonance one can vibrate due to the other.

Tuning Fork as a Sensor and Beyond. $115.71 The tuning fork is a common item that is found in many timing devices. Recently, it has also found many other applications beyond the conventional timing applications. Tuning forks as chemical sensors and infrared/temperature sensors have been demonstrated in addition to applications other groups have demonstrated. Four different flavors of portable devices demonstrating the tuning fork sensor as a good candidate for an economical portable deployment sensor platform that can afford simple instrumentations, stability, reusability, sensitivity, low power consumption, low cost and relatively small size have also been shown. A new detection scheme to protect a generic sensor from damage, extend its dynamic range, improve its response time and potentially reduce noise has been proposed. In addition, sensitivity limitations of the tuning fork sensor that is above the typical thermal noise limit have been covered. Finally, challenges the sensor field is facing have been identified; demonstrated how specificity issue can be addressed through gas chromatography separation and techniques in improving selectivity and sensitivity of a gas chromatograph have been proposed.

Learn to Tune Your Guitar
Hear is one way you can learn to tune your guitar, it is called relative tuning. What is relative tuning? It is when you take the adjacent string with the highest pitch and match the sound of it to the lower strings on your guitar. but first you must tune the sixth string to either a tuning fork or a piano. This will assure that you have an accurate staring point.
Go sit on your couch or a chair with no arms, and then lay your guitar on its back on your lap. Make sure you have a pick with you.
First, the sixth string-6(E) is the one on the top of the neck, the fatter one. Now go to the sixth string and hold down on the fifth fret and pick this string and listen to the sound closely. Then match the fifth string-5(A) to this sound by adjusting the string with the tuner knob on the head. To lower the tone loosen the knob on head. To raise the tone tighten the knob on the head. This will take you some time of getting use to, but keep practicing and you be a pro in no time.
Now continue the same process for the 4(D), 3(G), 2(B), strings by matching the tone to your previous string except the last string 1(E) you will hold your finger on the fourth-(D) fret and match your tone to the second string.
Remember this is only one way to tune your guitar, but this will help until you have more experience and learn other ways to tune your guitar. Here a few other ways of tuning you can learn to use. If you have access to piano you can sit and match sounds from piano to guitar. You can also use tuning fork, electronic keyboard, or pitch pipes.
Whatever process of tuning you use, it is best to tune your guitar regular basis. Strings can get out of tune over time especially if you play and practice allot.
