  2. Pneumatic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

    The normally closed valves will not permit flow from the inlet port of the valve to the outlet port, normally the flow will be permitted only by changing the position of the valve. In general, valves are designated as 2/2 DCV, 3/2 DCV, 5/2 DCV, 5/3 DCV etc., in which the first number indicates number of ports and second number indicates number ...

  3. Dashpot timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot_timer

    The dashpot timer is a fluid time-on-timer that can be used in definite time motor acceleration starters and controllers. A dashpot timer is a container, a piston, and a shaft. The dashpot timer functions when a magnetic field forces a piston to move within a cylinder when the coil is energized.

  4. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in drawing in the fresh charge. Engine designers ...

  5. Smith predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_predictor

    The Smith predictor (invented by O. J. M. Smith in 1957) is a type of predictive controller designed to control systems with a significant feedback time delay. The idea can be illustrated as follows. Suppose the plant consists of () followed by a pure time delay .

  6. Variator (variable valve timing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variator_(variable_valve...

    The inlet camshaft position is advanced 25 degrees, thus increasing valve overlap. It remains in this advanced state until about 5000 rpm when the solenoid switches off, and the variator piston returns the valve timing to its natural state. The variable timing increases the engine's mid-range flexibility and reduces emissions.

  7. Feed forward (control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_forward_(control)

    In bacteria these circuits create time delays ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. [22] [23] Similarly, an inclusive-OR gate in which is activated by either or is a sign-sensitive delay with no delay after the ON step but with a delay after the OFF step. This is because an ON pulse immediately activates B and C, but an OFF step does not ...

  8. Pencil detonator - Wikipedia

    Cutaway diagram of a No. 10 delay switch. One type, the British Number Ten Delay Switch (official name, "Switch, No. 10, Delay" and often referred to as a "timing pencil"), was made of a brass (or in later versions aluminium) tube, with a copper section at one end which contained a glass vial of cupric chloride (the liquid was widely and erroneously reported to be sulfuric acid [original ...

  9. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    The firing angle α represents the time delay from the point at which the voltage across a valve becomes positive (at which point a diode would start to conduct) and the thyristors being turned on. [11] [14] From the foregoing equation, it is clear that as the firing angle increases, the mean DC output voltage decreases. In fact, with a line ...
