  2. Rotax 582 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotax_582

    The Rotax 582 is a 48 kW (64 hp) two-stroke, two-cylinder, rotary intake valve, oil-in-fuel or oil injection pump, liquid-cooled, gear reduction-drive aircraft engine manufactured by BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG.

  3. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    An active regulator employs reactive components to store and discharge energy, so that most or all current supplied by the rectifier is passed to the load. It may also use negative and positive feedback in conjunction with at least one voltage amplifying component like a transistor to maintain output voltage when source voltage drops.

  4. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

    Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

  5. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid-state current-controlling device. The name "silicon controlled rectifier" is General Electric 's trade name for a type of thyristor .

  6. Quadrature booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_booster

    400 MVA 220/155 kV phase-shifting transformer.. A phase angle regulating transformer, phase angle regulator (PAR, American usage), phase-shifting transformer, phase shifter (West coast American usage), or quadrature booster (quad booster, British usage), is a specialised form of transformer used to control the flow of real power on three-phase electric transmission networks.

  7. Vienna rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_rectifier

    The Vienna Rectifier is useful wherever six-switch converters are used for achieving sinusoidal mains current and controlled output voltage, when no energy feedback from the load into the mains is available. In practice, use of the Vienna Rectifier is advantageous when space is at a sufficient premium to justify the additional hardware cost.

  8. Crystal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_detector

    Diagram showing a waveform and its envelope as processed by a crystal detector. As shown in the diagram on the right, A shows an amplitude modulated radio signal from the receiver's tuned circuit, which is applied as a voltage across the detector's contacts.

  9. Embedded system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system

    An embedded system on a plug-in card with processor, memory, power supply, and external interfaces. An embedded system is a specialized computer system—a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, and input/output peripheral devices—that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system.
