Electronic engineering

binistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor switching device that exhibits two stable states and also negative resistance.

degenerate semiconductor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor that behaves like a metal over a wide range of temperatures.

diaphragm gauge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A sensitive gas pressure gauge using a thin metal diaphragm stretched flat. Increments of pressure move the diaphragm, relative to a nearby electrode, varying the capacitance between the two.

capillary electrometer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A sensitive voltage indicator, consisting of a column of mercury in a transparent capillary tube, in which is suspended a small drop of acid. When a voltage is applied to both ends of the mercury ...

drum switch

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A sequential switch whose contacts are pins or teeth placed at points around the outside of a revolving drum.

A series of spaced lines or bars (horizontal, vertical, or both) produced on a television picture screen by means of a bar generator. It is useful in adjusting horizontal and vertical linearity of ...

accelerated service test

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A service or bench test in which equipment or a circuit is subjected to an extreme condition in an attempt to simulate the effects of average use over a long time.
