What is FET?
” and that question is easily answered. FET is a federal tax levied by our government to help pay for the additional wear and tear on the interstate road systems created by use of heavy trucks, tractors and trailers on our highways. While it may seem unfair it is important to remember how much we use these roads as transporters and that (at least in theory) this money goes into keeping the roads in good repair and available for the work we need to do. Primarily it applies only to vehicles with a GVWR over 33,000 lbs. This encompasses mainly tandem rear axles in both Petroleum, Septic and other liquid haulers. For the most part 2800 gallon fuel oil or vacuum trucks are exempt but if you’re hauling more than that, FET may apply. If your truck is hauling more than 3200 gallons you can almost be certain that FET will apply. How much does FET cost? The formula is different for different types of vehicles. Overall it is a 12% tax levied to the government on the purchase price of the vehicle.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a form of IVF that uses embryos that have been created during a previous cycle of treatment, and deep frozen for later use. Embryos are placed in a special solution to protect them from damage and stored in liquid nitrogen at around minus 190 degrees centigrade. When required, they are simply thawed out and implanted in the same way as a standard IVF embryo.

Asked by: Arup Kumar Ghosh Answer FET is an acronym for Field Effect Transistor. It refers to any transistor that uses an applied voltage (the field) as its mechanism to turn on or off. A basic transistor has three terminals. A FET’s three terminals are usually called ‘source’, ‘drain’ and ‘gate’. Applying a threshold voltage to the gate allows a current to flow from the source to the drain. a FET can be used as a switch simply by raising and lowering the gate voltage around its threshold value. FETs also operate as current amplifiers by increasing the gate voltage (above the threshold) A MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) is the fundamental transistor behind most of todays electronics including computers. It has a metal contact for the gate and is separated from the bulk transistor (substrate) by an oxide layer, typically SiO2 (silicon dioxide). This makes sure no current flows through the gate.
