beam deflector

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A deflection plate in an oscilloscope tube.

amplifying delay line

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A delay line that causes amplification of signals in a circuit intended for pulse compression.

distributed-constant delay line

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A delay line whose capacitance and inductance are distributed throughout the line. Compare lumpedconstant delay line.

D flip-flop

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A delayed flip-flop. The state of the input determines the state of the output during the following pulse, rather than during the current pulse.

dashpot

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A delayed-action device in which the movement of a piston is slowed by air or a liquid in a closed cylinder.

brownout

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A deliberate lowering of line voltage by a power company to reduce load demands. Minor events of this type often pass unnoticed by the average consumer. More pronounced events produce observable ...

computer virus

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A deliberately created and disseminated subprogram or piece of programming code, that electronically spreads through computer systems and hinders operation. Usually diverts the computer(s) from ...
