  2. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a heat-resistant ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), or copper (Cu). The material has an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which is used to provide an indication of temperature.

  3. Resonant-tunneling diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant-tunneling_diode

    Resonant tunneling of electrons through Si/SiGe heterojunctions was obtained later, with a limited peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 1.2 at room temperature. [14] Subsequent developments have realized Si/SiGe RTDs (electron tunneling) with a PVCR of 2.9 with a PCD of 4.3 kA/cm 2 [15] and a PVCR of 2.43 with a PCD of 282 kA/cm 2 at room ...

  5. Wheel train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_train

    The motion work is the small 12-to-1 reduction gear train that turns the timepiece's hour hand from the minute hand. [6] [7] It is attached to the going train by the friction coupling of the cannon pinion, so the minute and hour hands can be turned to set the time. It is often located on the outside of the movement's front plate, just under the ...

  6. Callendar–Van Dusen equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callendar–Van_Dusen_equation

    The Callendar–Van Dusen equation is an equation that describes the relationship between resistance (R) and temperature (T) of platinum resistance thermometers (RTD). As commonly used for commercial applications of RTD thermometers, the relationship between resistance and temperature is given by the following equations.

  7. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  8. Piezoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor

    A simplified equivalent circuit model (top of Figure 3) can be used in this region, in which C s represents the capacitance of the sensor surface itself, determined by the standard formula for capacitance of parallel plates. [12] [13] This simplified model's Norton equivalent (bottom of Figure 3) is a charge source in parallel with the source ...

  9. Wire wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap

    The hole in the center of the tool is placed over the post. The tool is rapidly twisted. The result is that 1.5 to 2 turns of insulated wire are wrapped around the post, and above that, 7 to 9 turns of bare wire are wrapped around the post. The post has room for three such connections, although usually only one or two are needed.
