  2. Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_medium-arc...

    Since the IGBTs switch on and off at a regulated cycle rate, a generator can be slightly off-speed and the lamp will still be flicker-free, which is not the case with a standard magnetic ballast. The square wave nature of the output results in a straight-line power output from the lamp.

  3. Induction lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_lamp

    Its origins are in microwave discharge light sources used for ultraviolet curing in the semiconductor and printing industries. [1] Since 1994, General Electric has produced its induction lamp Genura with an integrated high frequency driver, operating at 2.65 MHz. In 1996, Osram started selling their Endura induction light system, operating at ...

    [3]: §CEC-3.1 For example, a TV remote can also control a digital video recorder and a Blu-ray player. It is a single-wire bidirectional serial bus that is based on the CENELEC standard AV.link protocol to perform remote control functions. [4] CEC wiring is mandatory, although implementation of CEC in a product is optional.

    The elements of a simple broadcast television system are: . An image source. This is the electrical signal that represents a visual image, and may be derived from a professional video camera in the case of live television, a video tape recorder for playback of recorded images, or telecine with a flying spot scanner for the transfer of motion pictures to video).

  6. Light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]

  7. Light valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_valve

    The light valve thus consists of the two polarising filters, where one has a voltage controlled switch function thanks to the properties of the liquid crystals. This type of valve is often referred to as a liquid crystal light valve. The other principle, the reflective LV, works by either reflecting the light towards the target or deflecting it ...

  8. Inductive sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_sensor

    Since the output of an inductive sensor has two possible states, an inductive sensor is sometimes referred to as an inductive proximity switch. [2] [3] The sensor consists of an induction loop or detector coil. Most often this is physically a number of turns of insulated magnet wire wound around a high magnetic permeability core, such as a ...

  9. Optical transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transistor

    An optical transistor, also known as an optical switch or a light valve, is a device that switches or amplifies optical signals.Light occurring on an optical transistor's input changes the intensity of light emitted from the transistor's output while output power is supplied by an additional optical source.
