  2. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    Single pole, single throw: One-way: Two-way: A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch. SPST-NO. Form A [4] Single pole, single throw, normally open A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch ...

  3. Automatic test switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_test_switching

    Both poles are actuated simultaneously when the relay is energized. In this case, both poles are either always closed or always open. Figure 1D illustrates a double-pole, double throw (DPDT) switch. Contact form, or simply form, is the term relay manufacturers use to describe a relay's contact configuration. "Form A” refers to a single-pole ...

  4. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.

  5. RF switch - Wikipedia

    Below is a list of typical switch configurations and usage: Single pole, double throw (SPDT or 1:2) switches route signals from one input to two output paths. Single pole double throw (SPDT) switch from Agilent Technologies. Multiport switches or single pole, multiple throw (SPnT) switches allow a single input to multiple (three or more) output ...

  6. Trolley problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

    In 2001, Joshua Greene and colleagues published the results of the first significant empirical investigation of people's responses to trolley problems. [16] Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, they demonstrated that "personal" dilemmas (like pushing a man off a footbridge) preferentially engage brain regions associated with emotion, whereas "impersonal" dilemmas (like diverting the ...

  7. SPDT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPDT

    Single pole, double throw, a simple type of changeover electrical switch; Single Point Diamond Turning, a type of mechanical machining using diamond-tipped cutting elements; SCSI Pass-Through Direct, (SPTD) is a proprietary device driver and application programming interface (API)

  8. Reed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_switch

    The reed switch [i] is an electromechanical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented in 1922 by professor Valentin Kovalenkov at the Petrograd Electrotechnical University , [ 1 ] and later evolved at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 by Walter B. Ellwood into the reed relay.

  9. Task switching (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_switching_(psychology)

    Task switching, or set-shifting, is an executive function that involves the ability to unconsciously shift attention between one task and another. In contrast, cognitive shifting is a very similar executive function, but it involves conscious (not unconscious) change in attention.
