  2. Cut-off (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-off_(electronics)

    In electronics, cut-off is a state of negligible conduction that is a property of several types of electronic components when a control parameter (that usually is a well-defined voltage or electric current, but could also be an incident light intensity or a magnetic field), is lowered or increased past a value (the conduction threshold).

  3. Amputation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amputation

    As for the thief, male or female, cut off their hands and feet from opposite ends in recompense for what they have committed. [ 33 ] The severe punishment , for "highway robbery ( hirabah , qat' al-tariq ) and civil disturbance against Islam", is usually carried out in a single session in public, without anaesthetic and using a sword.

  4. Cutoff (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_(physics)

    In theoretical physics, cutoff (AE: cutoff, BE: cut-off) is an arbitrary maximal or minimal value of energy, momentum, or length, used in order that objects with larger or smaller values than these physical quantities are ignored in some calculation.

  5. Band-stop filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-stop_filter

    A generic ideal band-stop filter, showing both positive and negative angular frequencies. In signal processing, a band-stop filter or band-rejection filter is a filter that passes most frequencies unaltered, but attenuates those in a specific range to very low levels. [1]

  6. Contronym - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contronym

    A contronym is a word with two opposite meanings. For example, the word cleave can mean "to cut apart" or "to bind together". This feature is also called enantiosemy, [1] [2] enantionymy (enantio-means "opposite"), antilogy or autoantonymy. An enantiosemic term is by definition polysemic.

  7. Cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff

    Cut-off (electronics), a state of negligible conduction. Cutoff (metalworking), a piercing operation used to cut a workpiece from the stock. Cutoff (meteorology), a high- or low-pressure system stuck in place due to a lack of steering currents. Cutoff (physics), a threshold value for a quantity.

  8. Mutilated chessboard problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutilated_chessboard_problem

    If two squares of opposite colors are removed, then the remaining board can always be tiled with dominoes; this result is Gomory's theorem, [22] after mathematician Ralph E. Gomory, whose proof was published in 1973. [18] [20] Gomory's theorem can be proven using a Hamiltonian cycle of the grid graph formed by the chessboard squares. The ...

  9. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Another type of thermal switch is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor; these thermistors have a "cutting off" temperature at which the resistance suddenly rises rapidly, limiting the current through the circuit. When used in conjunction with a thermistor relay, the PTC will switch off an electrical system at a desired temperature.
