The essential elements of a telephone are a 

microphone (transmitter) to speak into and

an earphone (receiver) which reproduces the voice in a distant location. [3] In addition, most
telephones contain a ringer to announce an incoming telephone call, and a dial or keypad to enter
a telephone number when initiating a call to another telephone. The receiver and transmitter are
usually built into a handset which is held up to the ear and mouth during conversation. The dial may
be located either on the handset or on a base unit to which the handset is connected. The
transmitter converts the sound waves to electrical signals which are sent through a telephone
network to the receiving telephone, which converts the signals into audible sound in the receiver or
sometimes a loudspeaker. Telephones are duplex devices, meaning they permit transmission in
both directions simultaneously.

The picture frame may contain a protective "glazing" of picture framing glass or acrylic sheet,
e.g. Acrylite or Plexiglas. If the art in the frame is considered dispensable or if the exhibition
environment is highly controlled, no glazing may be used. Since the 1980s significant advances
have been made in the manufacture of picture glazings, creating a much broader range of options in
both glass and acrylic products. Choosing which to use requires taking into account a variety of each
object's characteristics: size, media used, condition of media, perceived value of object, anticipated
use of the object, e.g. extended exhibition periods or travel. It is wise to consult an experienced art
framer or conservator for help in making the better choice. Now, both picture framing glass and
acrylic sheet are available with anti-reflective coatings to make the glazing virtually invisible under
most lighting conditions. Except for pictures of only temporary interest, a glazing should incorporate
a filter to block almost all ultraviolet radiation (a UV filter) from penetrating the glazing. This filter
slows the photocatalytic degradation of organic materials in the picture. Both glass and acrylic
glazings are available with built-in anti-static properties. This option is necessary for objects with
friable or degraded media, which would be pulled off the object and onto the glazing by static electric
forces.

"What makes them so powerful is that they circumvent the faculties of the conscious mind but,
instead, directly target the subconscious and affective, thus evading direct inquiry through
contemplative reasoning. By doing so such axiomatic images tell us what we shall desire (liberalism,
in a snapshot: the crunchy honey-flavored cereals and the freshly-pressed orange juice in the back
of a suburban one-family home) and from what we shall obstain (communism, in a snapshot: lifeless
crowds of men and machinery marching towards certain perdition accompanied by the tunes of
Soviet Russian songs). What makes those images so powerful is that it is only of relative minor
relevance for the stabilization of such images whether they actually capture and correspond with the
multiple layers of reality, or not."[2] - David Leupold, sociologist
