  2. Pencil detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_detonator

    The time delay of a No. 10 varies according to the concentration of the corrosive liquid in the vial. It is widely reported that the wire thickness varied also, but in fact all used the same diameter of wire. The time delay of a No. 9 is determined solely by the thickness of the notch in the wire, the spring tension, and the temperature.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

    The normally closed valves will not permit flow from the inlet port of the valve to the outlet port, normally the flow will be permitted only by changing the position of the valve. In general, valves are designated as 2/2 DCV, 3/2 DCV, 5/2 DCV, 5/3 DCV etc., in which the first number indicates number of ports and second number indicates number ...

  4. Dashpot timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot_timer

    The dashpot timer is a fluid time-on-timer that can be used in definite time motor acceleration starters and controllers. A dashpot timer is a container, a piston, and a shaft. The dashpot timer functions when a magnetic field forces a piston to move within a cylinder when the coil is energized.

  5. Vacuum delay valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_delay_valve

    A vacuum delay valve is a valve with a small orifice, which delays a vacuum signal. These are commonly used in automobiles to alter the behavior of vacuum switches , vacuum motors , and other vacuum devices.

  6. Static timing analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_timing_analysis

    The arrival time of a signal is the time elapsed for a signal to arrive at a certain point. The reference, or time 0.0, is often taken as the arrival time of a clock signal. To calculate the arrival time, delay calculation of all the components in the path will be required. Arrival times, and indeed almost all times in timing analysis, are ...

  7. Clutch delay valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_delay_valve

    These valves have been unpopular with some drivers and are sometimes removed in favour of a conventional clutch action. [2] The BMW valve takes the form of a separate pipe fitting and is easily removed. Honda has also used clutch delay valves on some Civic models, which are integral to the clutch slave cylinder and must be dismantled in situ. [3]

  8. Retarded time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_time

    Position vectors r and r′ used in the calculation. Retarded time t r or t′ is calculated with a "speed-distance-time" calculation for EM fields.. If the EM field is radiated at position vector r′ (within the source charge distribution), and an observer at position r measures the EM field at time t, the time delay for the field to travel from the charge distribution to the observer is |r ...

  9. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    The firing angle α represents the time delay from the point at which the voltage across a valve becomes positive (at which point a diode would start to conduct) and the thyristors being turned on. [11] [14] From the foregoing equation, it is clear that as the firing angle increases, the mean DC output voltage decreases. In fact, with a line ...
