Electronic engineering
attracted-disk electrometer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device to measure potential difference consisting of two parallel metal disks—one of which is connected to a tension spring. The force between the disks indicates the magnitude of the electric ...
detuning stub
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used for the purpose of coupling a feed line to an antenna, while choking off currents induced on the feed line as a result of the near-field radiation of the antenna.
audio-frequency transformer (AF transformer)
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used for the purpose of matching impedances at frequencies within the range of human hearing (up to approximately 20 kHz). This ensures the most efficient possible transfer of power between ...
bone-conduction transducer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used in place of the earphone in a hearing aid to convey sound energy to the bone structure of the head.
beam splitter
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used to divide a light beam (as by a transparent mirror) into two components, one transmitted and the other reflected; hence, a beam-splitting mirror.
calibrator
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used to perform a calibration (e.g., a signal generator).
colorimeter
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device used to quantitatively measure the color intensity of a sample relative to a standard.
