In order to implement this output signal for a practical triggering of a load such as a relay or a data logger, or an alarm, the differential signal is rectified using a bridge rectifier and fed to a transistorized relay driver circuit. The contacts of this relay close and open in response to the signals from the PIR, activating the attached ...
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, [1] which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices , timers , train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
A piezoelectric speaker (also known as a piezo bender due to its mode of operation, and sometimes colloquially called a "piezo", buzzer, crystal loudspeaker or beep speaker) is a loudspeaker that uses the piezoelectric effect for generating sound. The initial mechanical motion is created by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric material, and ...
Relaxation oscillators are generally used to produce low frequency signals for such applications as blinking lights and electronic beepers. During the vacuum tube era they were used as oscillators in electronic organs and horizontal deflection circuits and time bases for CRT oscilloscopes; one of the most common was the Miller integrator circuit invented by Alan Blumlein, which used vacuum ...
A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusions, such as unauthorized entry, into a building or other areas, such as a home or school.
Understaffed and overworked air traffic control crews have long been an issue at Reagan National and other airports, lawmakers say, and could have contributed to the nation’s deadliest air crash ...
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. arrives to testify before the Senate Finance Committee during a confirmation hearing on his nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services on Jan. 29, 2025, in ...
