  2. Automatic test switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_test_switching

    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, normally open switch. "Form B" indicates a single-pole, normally closed switch, and "Form C" indicates a single-pole, double-throw switch.

  3. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    These terminals are usually labelled as normally open, common, and normally closed (NO-C-NC). An alternate notation for Form C is SPDT. [12] These contacts are quite frequently found in electrical switches and relays as the common contact element provides a mechanically economical method of providing a higher contact count. [12]

  4. Push switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_switch

    A push switch (button) is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically actuated. An automatic mechanism (i.e. a spring ) returns the switch to its default position immediately afterwards, restoring the initial circuit condition.

  5. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    Each key of a computer keyboard, for example, is a normally-open "push-to-make" switch. A "push-to-break" (or normally-closed or NC) switch, on the other hand, breaks contact when the button is pressed and makes contact when it is released. An example of a push-to-break switch is a button used to release a door held closed by an electromagnet.

  7. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    The switches maintain the orderly progression of the cell cycle and act as checkpoints to ensure that each phase has been properly completed before progression to the next phase. [1] For example, Cdk, or cyclin dependent kinase , is a major control switch for the cell cycle and it allows the cell to move from G1 to S or G2 to M by adding ...

  8. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    The switching contacts may be normally closed (opening when the coil is energized) or normally open (closing when the coil is energized). Relays do not transmit power like a transformer, but relatively little coil power can control a much higher power circuit, making them a kind of amplifier. They are very widely used for control applications ...

  9. Synthetic biological circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biological_circuit

    The goal of synthetic biology is to generate an array of tunable and characterized parts, or modules, with which any desirable synthetic biological circuit can be easily designed and implemented. [2] These circuits can serve as a method to modify cellular functions, create cellular responses to environmental conditions, or influence cellular ...
