  2. Base station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_station

    The base station is one end of a communications link. The other end is a movable vehicle-mounted radio or walkie-talkie. [6] Examples of base station uses in two-way radio include the dispatch of tow trucks and taxicabs. Basic base station elements used in a remote-controlled installation. Selective calling options such as CTCSS are optional.

  3. Remote base station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_base_station

    A remote base station [1] is a common name for an amateur radio auxiliary station that is controlled and operated from a remote location. Most remote base stations have similar features to any other Amateur radio station but can be controlled over a direct wired connection or the internet, or by radio. In many ways, remote base stations ...

  4. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  5. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    These valves are normally left open so that the user can control the flow of water with the spigot above the sink, and does not need to reach under the counter to start or stop the water flow. However, if the spigot needs to be replaced (i.e. maintenance needs to take place on the system), the isolation valves are shut to stop the flow of water ...

  6. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them.

  7. Valve RF amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_RF_amplifier

    The heater supply must be isolated from the cathode as unlike the other designs the cathode is not connected to RF ground. Some valves, such as the 811A, are designed for "zero bias" operation and the cathode can be at ground potential for DC. Valves that require a negative grid bias can be used by putting a positive DC voltage on the cathode.

  8. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    Backflow prevention device. The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap.An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool.

  9. STS-119 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-119

    Phillips and Magnus controlled the station's arm, grappled the truss and moved it into a position where the shuttle's robotic arm, operated by Antonelli, could take possession. [32] The station arm was then moved along the mobile base to a work site on the far right side, closer to the installation point. The shuttle's robotic arm then handed ...
