  2. Maintaining power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintaining_power

    His clocks of the period used a grasshopper escapement which malfunctioned if not driven continuously—even while the clock was being wound. In essence, the maintaining power consists of a disc between the driving drum of the clock and the great wheel. The drum drives the disc, and a spring attached to the disc drives the great wheel.

  3. Wave loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_loading

    The difference in pressure for a wave with wave height of about 10 m would be equivalent to one atmosphere (101.3 kPa or 14.7 psi) pressure variation between crest and trough and repeated fluctuations over pipes in relatively shallow environments could set up resonance vibrations within pipes or structures and cause problems.

  4. Sign-on and sign-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign-on_and_sign-off

    A station identification, including some or all of the television channel, AM or FM frequency, call sign, branding, and a clock ident. Generally a station jingle or slogan will be played, accompanied on television with video clips featuring station programming or personalities. The Start-Up/Sign-On Notice is announced after the national anthem.

  5. Clock gating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_gating

    At one end is the manual gating of clocks by software, where a driver enables or disables the various clocks used by a given idle controller. On the other end is automatic clock gating, where the hardware can be told to detect whether there is any work to do, and turn off a given clock if it is not needed.

  6. Load management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_management

    Since electrical energy is a form of energy that cannot be effectively stored in bulk, it must be generated, distributed, and consumed immediately. When the load on a system approaches the maximum generating capacity, network operators must either find additional supplies of energy or find ways to curtail the load, hence load management.

  8. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    For a given CPU core, energy usage will scale up as its clock rate increases. Reducing the clock rate or undervolting usually reduces energy consumption; it is also possible to undervolt the microprocessor while keeping the clock rate the same. [2] New features generally require more transistors, each of which uses power.

  9. Rolling blackout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout

    A room during load shedding at night in West Bengal, India. A rolling blackout, also referred to as rota or rotational load shedding, rota disconnection, feeder rotation, or a rotating outage, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region.
