Electronic engineering

arc furnace

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-temperature electric furnace in which heat is produced by one or more electrical arcs.

ceramic tube

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-temperature vacuum tube that uses a ceramic material, instead of glass, as the envelope; the tube offers low losses at high frequencies.

A high-value capacitor in series with a high-back-resistance semiconductor diode. A data pulse forward-biases the diode and charges the capacitor, which remains charged, thus holding the data bit, ...

buffer capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-voltage fixed capacitor that is placed across a transformer secondary to suppress voltage spikes and sharp waveforms— especially when the input is a square wave.

doorknob capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-voltage fixed capacitor, so called from its round package, which somewhat resembles a doorknob.

audit trail

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A history of the processes relating to a record, transaction, or file in a computer system. Created during the routine processing of data, the trail is stored as a file. The audit trail allows ...

bulb

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A globe-like container having any of a number of characteristic shapes from spherical to tubular and usually evacuated, for enclosing the elements of an electron device, such as a vacuum tube, gas ...
