Electronic engineering
cardioid diagram
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A polar response curve in the shape of a cardioid pattern.
double squirrel-cage induction motor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A polyphase induction motor having a double squirrel-cage rotor. The rotor slots contain two bars, an upper bar having low reactance (being near the air gap) and high resistance, and a lower bar ...
coke
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A porous material obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is valued for the production of carbon components for electronics, such as dry-cell electrodes and motor brushes.
accelerating voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A positive high voltage applied to the accelerating electrode of a cathode-ray tube to increase the velocity of electrons in the beam.
contrast control
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A potentiometer for adjusting the gain of the video in a television receiver or cathode- ray-tube (CRT) computer display and, accordingly, the image contrast.
duration control
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A potentiometer or variable capacitor for adjusting the duration of a pulse.
center-tapped potentiometer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A potentiometer that has a tap at half the total resistance of the resistance element.
