  2. Force-sensing resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-Sensing_Resistor

    The technology of force-sensing resistors was invented and patented in 1977 by Franklin Eventoff. In 1985 Eventoff founded Interlink Electronics, [2] a company based on his force-sensing-resistor (FSR). In 1987, Eventoff received the prestigious International IR 100 award for developing the FSR.

  3. Control character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character

    All entries in the ASCII table below code 32 10 (technically the C0 control code set) are of this kind, including CR and LF used to separate lines of text. The code 127 10 is also a control character. [1] [2] Extended ASCII sets defined by ISO 8859 added the codes 128 10 through 159 10 as control characters. This was primarily done so that if ...

Ward Leonard control A speed control system for DC machines using an interconnected generator and motor. watt The SI unit of power, work done per unit time. wattmeter An instrument that measures electrical power. waveguide

  5. Zero-ohm link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-ohm_link

    An axial-lead through-hole zero-ohm resistor is generally marked with a single black band, [6] the symbol for "0" in the resistor color code. Surface-mount zero-ohm resistors are usually marked with a single or multiple "0" (if size allows marking), where the number of digits can indicate the tolerance or maximum resistance rating, as is the ...

  6. Resistor ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor_ladder

    A resistor ladder is an electrical circuit made from repeating units of resistors, in specific configurations. An R–2R ladder configuration is a simple and inexpensive way to perform digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), using repetitive arrangements of precise resistor networks in a ladder -like configuration.

  7. SCADA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA

    The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of process commands, such as controller setpoint changes, are handled through the SCADA computer system. The subordinated operations, e.g. the real-time control logic or controller calculations, are performed by networked modules connected to the field sensors and actuators.

  8. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

    With computer-based control systems and multiple inputs, an automatic generation control system can take into account such matters as the most economical units to adjust, the coordination of thermal, hydroelectric, and other generation types, and even constraints related to the stability of the system and capacity of interconnections to other ...

  9. Solid-state electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_electronics

    The term solid-state became popular at the beginning of the semiconductor era in the 1960s to distinguish this new technology. A semiconductor device works by controlling an electric current consisting of electrons or holes moving within a solid crystalline piece of semiconducting material such as silicon, while the thermionic vacuum tubes it replaced worked by controlling a current of ...
