  2. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    The Relative Netto Variometer (or sometimes the super Netto) includes a g-sensor to detect thermalling. When thermalling, the sensor will detect acceleration (gravity plus centrifugal) above 1 g and tell the relative netto variometer to stop subtracting the sailplane's wing load-adjusted polar sink rate for the duration.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    To replace IEEE 200-1975, ASME, a standards body for mechanical engineers, initiated the new standard ASME Y14.44-2008. This standard, along with IEEE 315-1975, provide the electrical designer with guidance on how to properly reference and annotate everything from a single circuit board to a collection of complete enclosures.

  6. Wireless powerline sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_powerline_sensor

    The sensor, installed simply by clamping it around a conductor, powers itself from energy scavenged from electrical or magnetic fields surrounding the conductor being measured. [1] Overhead power line monitoring helps distribution system operators provide reliable service at optimized cost.

  7. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    A significant drawback of a resistor sensor is the unavoidable electrical connection between the current to be measured and the measurement circuit. An isolation amplifier can provide electrical isolation between measured current and the rest of the measurement circuit. However, these amplifiers are expensive and can also limit the bandwidth ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_flight...

    EFIS provides versatility by avoiding some physical limitations of traditional instruments. A pilot can switch the same display that shows a course deviation indicator to show the planned track provided by an area navigation or flight management system. Pilots can choose to superimpose the weather radar picture on the displayed route.

  9. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    Since the parasitic capacitance of the sensor is related to the electric field's (E-field) path to ground, it is important to choose a ground plane that limits the concentration of E-field lines with no conductive object present. Designing a capacitance sensing system requires first picking the type of sensing material (FR4, Flex, ITO, etc.).
