Electronic engineering

circuit breaker

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resettable fuse-like device that is designed to protect a circuit against overloading. In a typical circuit breaker, the winding of an electromagnet is connected in series with the load circuit and ...

automated home

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A residence in which many, or most, of the routine chores are done by computers and/or robots. Examples of such tasks are dishwashing, doing the laundry, mowing the lawn, blowing snow, and vacuuming ...

advance wire

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistance wire used in thermocouples and precision applications. It is an alloy of copper and nickel, which has high resistivity and a negligible temperature coefficient of resistance.

decoupling filter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistance-capacitance (RC) filter, usually inserted into a common dc line in a multistage amplifier to prevent interstage feedback coupling through the common impedance of the line.

bridge-type oscillator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistance-capacitance (RC) tuned oscillator in which a Wien bridge is used as the frequency-determining circuit in the feedback loop.

dissipation line

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistive section of transmission line, used for dissipating power at a certain impedance. Two parallel lengths of resistance wire are terminated by a large, noninductive resistor that has a value ...
