  2. Minecraft modding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft_modding

    The popularity of Minecraft mods has been credited for helping Minecraft become one of the best-selling video games of all time. The first Minecraft mods worked by decompiling and modifying the Java source code of the game. The original version of the game, now called Minecraft: Java Edition, is still modded this way, but with more advanced tools.

  3. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  4. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    Galvanic isolation is used where two or more electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds may be at different potentials. It is an effective method of breaking ground loops by preventing unwanted current from flowing between two units sharing a ground conductor. Galvanic isolation is also used for safety, preventing accidental electric ...

  5. Resistive opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_opto-isolator

    Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...

  6. Flyback converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_converter

    Fig. 1: Schematic of a flyback converter. The flyback converter is used in both AC/DC, and DC/DC conversion with galvanic isolation between the input and any outputs. The flyback converter is a buck-boost converter with the inductor split to form a transformer, so that the voltage ratios are multiplied with an additional advantage of isolation.

  7. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

    OS1 and OS2 are standard single-mode optical fiber used with wavelengths 1310 nm and 1550 nm (size 9/125 μm) with a maximum attenuation of 1 dB/km (OS1) and 0.4 dB/km (OS2). OS1 is defined in ISO/IEC 11801 , [ 9 ] and OS2 is defined in ISO/IEC 24702.

  8. Menu (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_(computing)

    A context menu is a menu in which the choices presented to the operator are automatically modified according to the current context in which the operator is working. A common use of menus is to provide convenient access to various operations such as saving or opening a file , quitting a program , or manipulating data.

  9. Mode locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_locking

    For this reason, many examples use mode-locked lasers, since they can offer a very high repetition rate of ultrashort pulses. Femtosecond laser nanomachining – the short pulses can be used to nanomachine in many types of materials. An example of pico- and femtosecond micromachining is drilling the silicon jet surface of inkjet printers.
