  2. Regulator (automatic control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator_(automatic_control)

    Examples are a voltage regulator (which can be a transformer whose voltage ratio of transformation can be adjusted, or an electronic circuit that produces a defined voltage), a pressure regulator, such as a diving regulator, which maintains its output at a fixed pressure lower than its input, and a fuel regulator (which controls the supply of ...

  3. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

    Bang–bang controls frequently arise in minimum-time problems. For example, if it is desired for a car starting at rest to arrive at a certain position ahead of the car in the shortest possible time, the solution is to apply maximum acceleration until the unique switching point , and then apply maximum braking to come to rest exactly at the ...

  4. Low-dropout regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-dropout_regulator

    Low-dropout (LDO) regulators operate similarly to all linear voltage regulators.The main difference between LDO and non-LDO regulators is their schematic topology.Instead of an emitter follower topology, low-dropout regulators consist of an open collector or open drain topology, where the transistor may be easily driven into saturation with the voltages available to the regulator.

  5. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

    The ferroresonant transformer, ferroresonant regulator or constant-voltage transformer is a type of saturating transformer used as a voltage regulator. These transformers use a tank circuit composed of a high-voltage resonant winding and a capacitor to produce a nearly constant average output voltage with a varying input current or varying load.

  6. Psychedelic drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_drug

    Psychedelic microdosing is the practice of using sub-threshold doses of psychedelics in an attempt to improve creativity, boost physical energy level, emotional balance, increase performance on problems-solving tasks and to treat anxiety, depression and addiction.

  7. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    voltage regulators, which are essentially transformers with tap changers to adjust the voltage along the feeder, so as to compensate for the voltage drop over distance; and; capacitors, which reduce the voltage drop along the feeder by reducing current flow to loads consuming reactive power.

  8. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A demand controlled regulator provides a flow of breathing gas at the ambient pressure (which varies by depth in the water). Pressure reducing regulators are also use to supply breathing gas to surface-supplied divers, [5] and people who use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for rescue and hazmat work on

  9. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

    This can be a particular problem with regulators having ice-shedding internal surfaces that are teflon coated, which allows the ice to break free of the internal surfaces and helps to prevent the regulator from free flowing by clearing the ice. This may be helpful in keeping the demand valve mechanism free to move, but the ice still forms in ...
