In 1956, a large property in Beaverton became available, and the company's employee retirement trust purchased the land and leased it back to the company. [10] Construction began in 1957 and on May 1, 1959, Tektronix moved into its new Beaverton headquarters campus, [10] on a 313-acre (1.27 km 2) site which came to be called the Tektronix Industrial Park.
A Scott-T transformer or Scott connection is a type of circuit used to produce two-phase electric power (2 φ, 90 degree phase rotation) [1] from a three-phase (3 φ, 120 degree phase rotation) source, or vice versa. The Scott connection evenly distributes a balanced load between the phases of the source.
TechShop was founded by Jim Newton, Ridge McGhee, and Robert Thomas. Jim Newton wanted to establish a place with tools to work on pet projects. [1] Newton, who had been a science adviser to the TV show MythBusters and a College of San Mateo robotics teacher, was also motivated by his students' frustration with lack of access to equipment.
Transformer oil or insulating oil is an oil that is stable at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. It is used in oil-filled wet transformers, [1] some types of high-voltage capacitors, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and some types of high-voltage switches and circuit breakers.
Switched-mode power supplies can also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply because the transformer can be much smaller. This is because it operates at a high switching frequency which ranges from several hundred kHz to several MHz in contrast to the 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency used by the transformer in a linear power supply.
The Tektronix Phaser 740, released in October 1998, [1] was a series of color laser printers sold by Tektronix's printer division, now a part of Xerox. The Phaser 740 is notable for being the industry's first true 1200×1200 dpi color laser printer. [ 2 ]
The Transformers: The Movie, it is possible he was killed when Unicron attacked Moonbase 1, but nothing official was ever said. Don Messick: Unknown Gears is anti-social, a self-proclaimed misfit. [37] Finds fault in everything and everyone. Acts this way to help cheer others up as they try to cheer him up. Tremendous strength and endurance.
The outer conductive coating is connected to ground while the inner conductive coating is connected using the anode button/cap through a series of capacitors and diodes (a Cockcroft–Walton generator) to the high voltage flyback transformer; the inner coating is the anode of the CRT, [186] which, together with an electrode in the electron gun ...
