Electronic engineering
decade resistor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A resistor whose value is variable in 10 equal increments. Compare decade capacitor and decade inductor.
ceramic filter
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A resonant filter similar to a crystal filter, but using a piezoelectric ceramic material.
double-hump resonance curve
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A resonant response that is flattened by double tuning; it exhibits two resonance peaks. Also see doubletuned amplifier.
absorption wavemeter
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A resonant-frequency indicating instrument that is inductively coupled to the device under test.
carbon/disk rheostat
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A rheostat consisting of a stack of carbon disks or washers, arranged so that a controllable pressure can be exerted on the stack. As a knob is turned, a screw increases or decreases the pressure, ...
chrominance gain control
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A rheostat or potentiometer in the red, green, and blue matrix channels of a color television receiver, used to adjust the primary-signal amplitudes.
automated guided vehicle (AGV)
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A robot cart that runs without a driver. It uses an electric engine and is guided by the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire embedded in the floor or pavement. Alternatively, the robot ...
