  2. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal , which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller.

  3. String potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_potentiometer

    The string potentiometer may be connected as a three-wire tapped resistor (voltage divider), in a control circuit, or may be packaged with electronics to produce a measurement signal in a useful form, such as a variable voltage 0-10 VDC, variable current 4-20mA, pulse encoder, Bus (DeviceNet and Canbus) and RS-232 communications.

  4. Position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensor

    A position sensor is a sensor that detects an object's position. A position sensor may indicate the absolute position of the object (its location) or its relative position (displacement) in terms of linear travel, rotational angle or three-dimensional space.

  5. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  6. Texas Instruments LPC Speech Chips - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_LPC...

    The chip was designed for the 'Spelling Bee' project at TI, which later became the Speak & Spell. [2] A speech-less 'Spelling B' was released at the same time as the Speak & Spell. [5] All TI LPC speech chips until the TSP50cxx series used PMOS architecture, and LPC-10 encoding in a special TI-specific format. [6]

  7. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    Gray codes are used in linear and rotary position encoders (absolute encoders and quadrature encoders) in preference to weighted binary encoding. This avoids the possibility that, when multiple bits change in the binary representation of a position, a misread will result from some of the bits changing before others.

  8. Pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation

    Linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) is a specific type of PCM in which the quantization levels are linearly uniform. [5] This is in contrast to PCM encodings in which quantization levels vary as a function of amplitude (as with the A-law algorithm or the μ-law algorithm ).

  9. Vision transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_transformer

    The first one ("encoder") takes in image patches with positional encoding, and outputs vectors representing each patch. The second one (called "decoder", even though it is still an encoder-only Transformer) takes in vectors with positional encoding and outputs image patches again. During training, both the encoder and the decoder ViTs are used.
