  2. Morse code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code

    Chart of the Morse code 26 letters and 10 numerals [1]. This Morse key was originally used by Gotthard railway, later by a shortwave radio amateur [2]. Morse code is a telecommunications method which encodes text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs.

  3. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

    CW1308 was a similar specification to the earlier CW1293 but with an improved color code. CW1293 used mostly solid colours on the cores making it difficult to identify the pair it was twisted with without stripping back a large amount of sheath. To solve this problem. CW1308 has narrow rings of the paired color printed over the base colour.

    A Schrader valve consists of a hollow cylindrical metal tube, typically brass, with the exterior end threaded. The interior end takes a variety of forms depending on its application. In the center of the exterior end is a metal pin pointing along the axis of the tube; the pin's end is flush with the end of the valve body.

  5. Stellar parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_parallax

    The angles involved in these calculations are very small and thus difficult to measure. The nearest star to the Sun (and also the star with the largest parallax), Proxima Centauri, has a parallax of 0.7685 ± 0.0002 arcsec. [19] This angle is approximately that subtended by an object 2 centimeters in diameter located 5.3 kilometers away.

  6. E series of preferred numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_series_of_preferred_numbers

    The E series is a system of preferred numbers (also called preferred values) derived for use in electronic components. It consists of the E3 , E6 , E12 , E24 , E48 , E96 and E192 series, [ 1 ] where the number after the 'E' designates the quantity of logarithmic value "steps" per decade .

  7. Imperial and US customary measurement systems - Wikipedia

    The imperial and US customary systems of measurement use the SI for their formal definitions, the yard being defined as 0.9144 metres exactly, the pound avoirdupois as 0.453 592 37 kilograms exactly while both systems of measure share the definition of the second.

    Barometer A device for measuring pressure. Battery Electrochemical cells that transform chemical energy into electricity. Base In chemistry, bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide (OH −) ions, are slippery to the touch, can taste bitter if an alkali, [50] change the color of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acids to form salts, promote ...

  9. Surface plasmon resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plasmon_resonance

    The resonance curves shift to higher angles as the thickness of the adsorbed film increases. This example is a 'static SPR' measurement. When higher speed observation is desired, one can select an angle right below the resonance point (the angle of minimum reflectance), and measure the reflectivity changes at that point.
