  2. Embedded instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_Instrumentation

    Embedded instrumentation can perform certain functions that external test and measurement technologies have difficulty with because they are external to the chip or circuit board being tested. Moreover, embedded instrumentation is often more efficient and adaptable, since it is software-based, unlike external hardware testers.

  3. Y-cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-cable

    A newer variant on this kind of cable allows a USB peripheral to receive data and power from two different devices respectively. This allows power-hungry peripherals to be used with sockets that are designed to supply little or no outgoing power, such as USB On-The-Go mini-B sockets on smartphones. The power is supplied to the third leg of the ...

  4. Power cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cable

    A power cable is an electrical cable, an assembly of one or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall sheath. The assembly is used for transmission of electrical power . Power cables may be installed as permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed.

  5. IEC 60320 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

    A variety of different kinds of IEC 60320 plugs and sockets. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes [1] is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A. [1 ...

  6. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    An external power supply, AC adapter or power brick, is a power supply located in the load's AC power cord that plugs into a wall outlet; a wall wart is an external supply integrated with the outlet plug itself. These are popular in consumer electronics because of their safety; the hazardous 120 or 240 volt main current is transformed down to a ...

  7. Common Information Model (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Information_Model...

    CIM models the network itself using the 'wires model'. It describes the basic components used to transport electricity. Measurements of power are modeled by another class. These measurements support the management of power flow at the transmission level, and by extension, the modeling of power through a revenue meter on the distribution network.

  8. 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.

  9. Inductive charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

    Inductive charging is not considered a mature dynamic charging technology as it delivers the least power of the three electric road technologies, its receivers lose 20%-25% of the supplied power when installed on trucks, and its health effects have yet to be documented, according to a French government working group on electric roads.
