electro-, electr-, electri-
(Greek > Latin: electric, electricity; from amber, resembling amber, generated from amber which when rubbed vigorously [as by friction], produced the effect of static electricity)
Electronics in our lives consists of numerous tools
Equipment which we use everyday relies on electronics to function including calculators, car controls, cameras, washing machines, medical scanners, mobile telephones, radar systems, computers; as well as many other applications or devices which are listed in this unit.
2. Engineering which deals with the practical applications of electronics including the design, fabrication, and operation of circuits, electronic devices, and systems.
The amplified scanning current controls an engraving tool which removes metal in proportion to the white and dark areas of the original plate.
The term exotic refers to something which is "strikingly unusual and often very colorful and exciting"; suggesting unfamiliar cultures or places and for non-native Japanese, walking through an electronics store in Japan is like going ashore in some lush, unspoiled place, where the local flora and fauna have evolved in isolation for centuries.
Many Japanese cell phones have TV tuners, fingerprint readers for security, ten-megapixel cameras with zoom lenses, and electronic-payment chips which can be used at cash registers.
It may be applied externally or internally.
With an external monitor, the fetal heart is detected by an ultrasound transducer positioned on the abdomen.
Internal monitoring of the fetal heart rate is accomplished with an electrode clipped to the fetal scalp.
2. An instrument that allows the observation of the fetal heart rates and the maternal uterine contractions which may be applied externally or internally.
With an external monitor, the fetal heart is detected by an ultrasound transducer positioned on the abdomen.
Internal monitoring of the fetal heart rate is accomplished by way of an electrode clipped to the fetal scalp.
2. The electrode used in a burner system that detects the main burner flame and interrupts fuel flow if the flame is not indicated.
The gas flashes brilliantly when a capacitor is discharged through the tube.
2. A high-intensity flashing beam of light produced by charging a capacitor to a very high voltage then discharging it as a high-intensity flash of light in a tube.
3. A lamp that produces very short, intense flashes of light by means of an electric discharge in a gas.
The ability of strobe lights, or electronic flashes, to "freeze" the motion of rapidly moving objects by making them visible for only a fraction of a second makes them very useful in photography and in measuring vibration and other types of high-speed motion.
A single bond is equivalent to one pair of electrons shared by two atoms.
2. A system which injects fuel into an engine and includes an electronic control unit to time and meter or measure the flow.
Fuel is delivered in intermittent pulses by the opening and closing of solenoid-controlled injectors.
2. Electronic banking transactions conducted through computerized systems; such as, electronic funds transfer by automated-teller machines, intended to speed operations, to reduce costs, etc.
A customer inserts a magnetically encoded plastic card into the terminal, and then presses the appropriate keys to make deposits or withdrawals, transfer money to pay bills, and even to borrow money.
Such financial exchanges are dependent wholly or in a large part on the use of electronics.
