Electronic engineering
Deep discharge
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The nearly complete discharge of a cell or battery; usually done prior to recharging.
Breaking current
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The momentary current that flows when the contacts of a switch or relay are broken.
Data storage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The preservation of data, particularly computer files, for long periods of time in nonvolatile form (no source of power is required to ensure that the data remains intact).
Bucking
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The process of counteracting one quantity, such as a current or voltage, via series or parallel application of a similar quantity that has opposite polarity (180 degrees out of phase).
Coil dissipation
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The power wasted in a coil as heat. Generally, this dissipation or loss is proportional to the resistance of the coil, and to the square of the current passing through the coil.
Data conversion
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The process of changing data from one form to another, e.g., from analogue to digital (A/D), digital to analogue (D/A), parallel to serial, or serial to parallel.
Aircraft bonding
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The practise of solidly connecting, for electrical purposes, the metal parts of an aircraft, including the engine.
