Electronic engineering
Amauroscope
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electronic aid to the blind, in which photocells in a pair of goggles receive light images. Electric pulses proportional to the light are impressed upon the visual receptors of the brain through ...
Bifilar electrometer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electrometer in which the sensitive element consists of two long platinized-quartz fibers. When an electric potential is ap- plied, the fibres separate by a distance proportional to the voltage.
Cardiac stimulator
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electronic device (sometimes implanted in the subject) that supplies electric pulses to stimulate heart action. Also called defibrillator and pacemaker.
Bound electron
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electron held tightly in its orbit within an atom so that it is not ordinarily free to drift between atoms and contribute to electric current flow.
Cardiac monitor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electronic device that displays or records electrical impulses from the heart for medical observation or diagnosis.
Document reader
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electronic device that reads printed cards, usually for data entry into a computer.
Digital electrometer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An electrometer that has a digital current or voltage indicator.
