Electronic engineering
backward diode
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor diode manufactured in such a way that its high-current flow occurs when the junction is reverse biased. Such a diode is also a negative-resistance device.
dynistor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor diode that continues to conduct after the forward voltage is reduced below the normal threshold point. To stop the conduction, a reverse voltage must be applied, or voltage must be ...
autopatch
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A remotely controllable device that interconnects a radio-communications system into a telephone network.
dust cover
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A removable, usually plastic cover for electronic and computer equipment, to protect hardware during periods of nonuse.
drop repeater
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A repeater intended for a termination of a communications circuit in a telephone system.
delayed repeater
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A repeater that receives and stores information, and retransmits the information later, in response to a switching or interrogation signal.
control characteristic
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A representation (such as a collector-current versus collector-voltage curve) depicting the extent to which the value of one quantity affects or controls the value of another.
