Electronic engineering
contact wipe
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A sliding motion between closed contacts. Helps to establish a good connection and to keep the contact surfaces clean.
absorption marker
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small blip introduced onto an oscilloscope trace to indicate a frequency point. It is so called because it is produced by the action of a frequency-calibrated tuned trap, similar to an absorption ...
dielectric wire
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small dielectric waveguide that acts as a wire to carry signals between points in a circuit.
copper-oxide diode
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small diode in which the semiconductor material is copper oxide. Such diodes, widely used before the ready availability of selenium and silicon, are still occasionally found in meter-rectifier ...
dial lock
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small mechanism used to lock a dial at a particular setting to prevent further turning.
action current
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small transient current that flows in a nerve in the human body as a result of stimulation.
cone of silence
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A small zero-signal zone directly over a low-frequency radio-range beacon. The zone is the product of the combined directive properties of the beacon transmitting antenna and the antenna on an ...
