Electronic engineering
Detection range
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In security applications, the radius within which transducers or sensors can be expected to reliably operate. This radius varies, depending on the environment, the sensitivity of the receiving ...
Active chord mechanism (ACM)
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In robots, an electromechanical gripper capable of conforming to irregular objects. It has a structure similar to the human spine, with numerous small, rigid links connected by hinges.
Automatic controller
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In servo systems, any of several circuits or devices that samples a variable signal, compares it with a standard (reference) signal, and delivers a control or correction signal to an actuator.
Continuous-path motion
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In robotics, machine movement that occurs in a smooth fashion, rather than in discrete steps. Allows precise positioning of a mechanical arm or gripper.
Delayed loop
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In security applications, a circuit or system that registers an alarm some time after intrusion is first detected. The delay can usually be selected or preadjusted.
Cheque register
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In some digital computers, a register in which transferred information is stored so that it can be checked against the same information as it is received a second time.
Dielectric fatigue
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In some dielectric materials subjected to a constant voltage, the deterioration of dielectric properties with time.
