Electronic engineering

computer map

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A blueprint, used in conjunction with machine vision, sonar, radar or beacons, that a mobile robot can use as a navigational aid. One or more such blueprints are stored in the robot controller’s main ...

baffle

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A board on which a loudspeaker is mounted to separate acoustic radiation from the back of the cone from radiation emanating from the front. The baffle improves bass response by increasing the ...

complementary

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A Boolean operation whose result is the same as that of another operation, but with the opposite sign; thus, OR and NOR operations are complementary.

destructive breakdown

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A breakdown in which the effects are irreversible (e.g., permanent damage to a dielectric by excessive applied voltage).

comparison bridge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A bridge designed especially for the quick comparison of components (e.g., the comparison of resistors with a standard resistor, inductors with a standard inductor, and capacitors with a standard ...

conjugate bridge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A bridge in which the detector and generator occupy positions opposite to those in a conventional bridge of the same general type.

combination bridge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A bridge that affords two or more classes of measurement, usually selectable by means of a function switch. Examples: capacitance-inductance bridge, and capacitance-resistance bridge.
