101Voltage clamp — The voltage clamp is used by electrophysiologists to measure the ion currents across a neuronal membrane while holding the membrane voltage at a set level. Neuronal membranes contain many different kinds of ion channels, some of which are voltage …
102Annealing (metallurgy) — Annealing, in metallurgy and materials science, is a heat treatment wherein a material is altered, causing changes in its properties such as strength and hardness. It is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the recrystallization …
103Commutation cell — The commutation cell is the basic structure in power electronics. It is composed of an electronic switch (today a high power semiconductor, not a mechanical switch) and a diode. It was traditionally referred to as a chopper, but since switching… …
104Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access — Multiplex techniques Circuit mode (constant bandwidth) TDM · FDM · SDM Polarization multiplexing Spatial multiplexing (MIMO) …
105AC motor — An AC motor is an electric motor that is driven by an alternating current. It consists of two basic parts, an outside stationary stator having coils supplied with AC current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to… …
106semiconductor device — ▪ electronics Introduction electronic circuit component made from a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (hence semiconductor). Such devices have found wide applications because of their compactness, reliability,… …
107Copper wire and cable — Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the 1820s.[1][2] The invention of the telephone in 1876 proved to be another early boon for copper wire.[3] Today, despite competition from… …
108Current divider — Figure 1: Schematic of an electrical circuit illustrating current division. Notation RT. refers to the total resistance of the circuit to the right of resistor RX. In electronics, a current divider is a simple linear circuit that produces an… …
109Push–pull converter — A push–pull converter is a type of DC to DC converter that uses a transformer to change the voltage of a DC power supply. The transformer s ratio is arbitrary but fixed; however, in many circuit implementations the duty cycle of the switching… …
