Electronic engineering

dial cable

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flexible cable or belt conveying motion on the shaft of an adjustable component (such as a potentiometer or variable capacitor) to a dial.

dynamic flip-flop

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flip-flop (bistable multivibrator) that is kept on by recirculating an alternating- current (ac) signal. The device can be switched on or off by a single pulse. Compare static flip-flop.

ac-coupled flip-flop

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flip-flop that is operated by the rise or fall of a clock pulse.

dart leader

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flow of electrons along a path traveled by a lightning stroke, preceding a second stroke. The dart leader, if any, occurs a few milliseconds after the first stroke. Several strokes could occur, ...

bleeding whites

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flowing of the white areas of a television picture into the black areas; an overload condition.

bismuth flux meter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flux meter in which the sensor contains a length of bismuth wire, which acts as a magnetoresistor.

astigmatism

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A focusing fault in a cathode-ray tube (CRT), in which electrons in different axial planes focus at different points.
