current drain

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The current supplied to a load by a generator or generator-equivalent. 2. The current required by a device for its operation; also, the current taken by the device during standby periods.

discharge rate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The current that can be supplied by an electrochemical cell or battery reliably during its discharging cycle. Usually expressed in milliamperes or amperes. 2. An expression of the speed with ...

contents

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The data in a computer random-access memory (RAM). 2. The data in a specific storage location, such as on a hard disk, diskette, or CD-ROM.

decay characteristics

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The decay of a parameter; usually an exponential function. 2. The persistence time in a storage oscilloscope.

decay

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The decrease in the value of a quantity, e.g., current decay in a resistance-capacitance circuit. 2. The gradual, natural loss of radioactivity by a substance.

color sensitivity

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The degree of which a photosensitive device, such as a photocell or camera tube, responds to various colors of light. 2. The degree to which photographic film responds to various colors of light.

conversion

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The deliberate mixing of radiofrequency (RF) signals to produce signals at the sum and/or difference frequencies. 2. The process of changing direct current (dc) to alternating current (ac). 3. ...
