2Diving regulator — and Octopus Other names Demand valve Uses Reduces pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and delivers it to the diver Inventor Manuel Théodore Guillaumet (1838), Benoît Rouquayrol (1860) …
3Voltage regulator — A popular three pin 12 V DC voltage regulator IC. A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple feed forward design or may include negative feedback …
4Linear regulator — In electronics, a linear regulator is a voltage regulator based on an active device (such as a bipolar junction transistor, field effect transistor or vacuum tube) operating in its linear region (in contrast, a switching regulator is based on a… …
5History of tax resistance — Tax resistance has probably existed as long as those in a position of power have imposed taxes. This page describes briefly some notable historical examples of tax resistance.Jewish Zealots, 1st century A.D.In the first century A.D., Jewish… …
6Low dropout regulator — A low dropout or LDO regulator is a DC linear voltage regulator which can operate with a very small input output differential voltage. The main components are a power FET and a differential amplifier (error amplifier). One input of the… …
7Voltage regulator tube — A voltage regulator tube (VR tube) is an electronic component used as a shunt regulator to hold a voltage constant at a pre determined level.Physically, these devices resemble vacuum tubes, but there are two main differences: * Their glass… …
8voltage regulator — A device which maintains the correct voltage level in a vehicle s electrical system by preventing the circuit voltage from exceeding a predetermined safe value. When the battery needs charging the regulator cuts resistance out of the generator… …
9voltage regulator — Elect. a device that controls or maintains the voltage of an electrical circuit. Abbr.: VR [1910 15] * * * ▪ electronics any electrical or electronic device that maintains the voltage of a power source within acceptable limits. The voltage… …
10Equivalent series resistance — (ESR) is an effective resistance that is used to describe the resistive parts of the impedance of certain electrical components. Overview The theoretical treatment of devices such as capacitors and inductors tends to assume they are ideal or… …
