Coaching Notes Elex 1

Robot

Coined by Karel Capek

Power factor

True power / apparent power

Cray 1

First supercomputer; 1976; $ 7.5M

Shunt regulator

Load on the unregulated source should be kept constant

Flux and speed

Determine the voltage in DC generator

Lenz’s law

The directon of the generated V in a coil is such that it tends to produce I flow opposing a change of flux

Polarization of coil

Caused by formation of hydrogen on its positive plates

Plug fuse

10- to 15-A; <= 125-V

Iron-vane meter

Works on the principle of repulsion

Viltage regulator

Fields R and I are controlled

Short-coil

Detected by low resistance and overheat coil

Electronic oscillator

Amplifier with feedback

Bistable multivibrator

Can be used as frequency divider

Advantage of compiler over interpreter

The object can be stored and reused as often as required

Transputer

- Called “computer on a chip”

- A 32-bit device

- Based on parallel processing technique

Solids

Have maximum of 6 degrees of freedom

Telephone lines

75 ohms surge impedance
