Electronic engineering

checkout routine

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A routine used by programmers to debug programs.

disk dynamo

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A rudimentary direct-current (dc) generator, in which a copper disk rotates between the poles of a permanent magnet. The outer edge of the disk becomes positively charged; the center of the disk ...

A rudimentary form of semiconductor diode consisting of a mounted lump of mineral (the crystal) in contact with a springy wire (“cat’s whisker”). The point of the wire is moved to various points of ...

DeMorgan’s theorem

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A rule of sequential or digital logic. It states that the negation of (A AND B), for any two statements A AND B, is equivalent to not a or not b. Also, the negation of (A OR B) is equivalent, ...

decade scaler

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A scale-of-10 electronic counter (i.e., a circuit delivering one output pulse for each group of 10 input pulses).

directional homing

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A scheme for locating the source of a radio signal. An effort is made to keep the bearing of the target or guiding station constant. Therefore, the search path is as direct (as nearly a straight ...

biased search

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A scheme that a mobile robot can use to find its way to a destination or target, by deliberately searching off to the side and then homing in as the approach progresses. It is so called because the ...
