  2. Common Berthing Mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Berthing_Mechanism

    A vestibule is composed of an ACBM ring (1) mounted to a flanged bulkhead (3) and a PCBM ring (2) mounted to a flanged bulkhead or barrel section (4). The rings, both machined from 2219 Aluminum forgings, mate at a "molded seal" (5); each ring is sealed at its inboard end by a pair of concentric o-rings (6).

  3. Keystone module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_module

    A keystone module is a standardized snap-in package for mounting a variety of low-voltage electrical jacks or optical connectors into a keystone wall plate, face plate, surface-mount box, or a patch panel. Keystone modules have a rectangular face of 14.5 mm wide by 16.0 mm high and are held in place with flexible tabs.

  4. Aft pressure bulkhead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aft_pressure_bulkhead

    The aft pressure bulkhead is the white circular component; its web-like structure led a NASA technician to attach a large model spider to it for comedic effect. The aft pressure bulkhead or rear pressure bulkhead is the rear component of the pressure seal in all aircraft that cruise in a tropopause zone in the Earth's atmosphere. [ 1 ]

  5. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    Three photoresistors with scale in mm Large CdS photocell from a street light. A photoresistor is less light-sensitive than a photodiode or a phototransistor. The latter two components are true semiconductor devices, while a photoresistor is a passive component that does not have a PN-junction. The photoresistivity of any photoresistor may vary ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulkhead_(partition)

    Bulkhead also refers to a moveable structure often found in an Olympic-size swimming pool, as a means to set the pool into a "double-ended short course" configuration, or long-course, depending on the type of event being run. Pool bulkheads are usually air-fillable, but power driven solutions do exist.

  7. Porthole - Wikipedia

    It is also used in related rules and regulations for the construction of ships. [4] The use of the word "sidescuttle" instead of "porthole" is meant to be broad, including any covered or uncovered hole in the side of the vessel. A deadlight is a hinged metal cover which can be clamped over the porthole to secure it in heavy weather.

  8. Resistive opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_opto-isolator

    Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...

  9. Bulkhead (barrier) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulkhead_(barrier)

    A bulkhead is a retaining wall, such as a bulkhead within a ship or a watershed retaining wall. It may also be used in mines to contain flooding. Coastal bulkheads are most often referred to as seawalls , bulkheading, or riprap revetments .
