Electronic engineering

B5-cut crystal

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A piezoelectric plate cut from a quartz crystal in such a way that the face of the plate is at an angle, with respect to the z-axis of the crystal. This type of crystal has good frequency stability ...

bimorphous cell

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A piezoelectric transducer that consists of two crystal plates, such as Rochelle salt, bound intimately face to face. In a crystal microphone, vibration of the transducer results in a voltage output; ...

drone

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A pilotless radio-controlled aircraft without a human pilot.

alignment pin

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A pin or protruding key, usually in the base of a removable or plug-in component, to ensure that the latter will be inserted correctly into a circuit. Often, the pin mates with a keyway, notch, or ...

drive pin

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A pin used to prevent a record from slipping on the rotating turntable of a recorder or reproducer. It is similar to, and located near, the center pin of the turntable.

aperiodic function

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A nonrepetitive function (e.g., a hyperbolic trigonometric function).

buzzer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A nonringing device used principally to generate sound other than that achievable with sine waves. In an electromechanical vibrating-reed buzzer, the reed acts as an armature, which is mounted close ...
