  2. Braking chopper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_chopper

    A braking chopper is an magnetical switch that limits the DC bus voltage by switching the braking energy to a resistor where the braking energy is converted to heat. Braking choppers are automatically activated when the actual DC bus voltage exceeds a specified level depending on the nominal voltage of the variable-frequency drive

  3. Stimulus control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_control

    The controlling effects of stimuli are seen in quite diverse situations and in many aspects of behavior. For example, a stimulus presented at one time may control responses emitted immediately or at a later time; two stimuli may control the same behavior; a single stimulus may trigger behavior A at one time and behavior B at another; a stimulus may control behavior only in the presence of ...

    A braking system that extracts energy from a moving system to bring it to rest; a dynamic braking system generally is not used to hold a position of a stationary object. dynamic demand A technique for load management on an electrical grid based on frequency measurement. dynamic programming

  5. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

    Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.

  6. Derailment (thought disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailment_(thought_disorder)

    A related term is tangentiality—it refers to off-the-point, oblique or irrelevant answers given to questions. [2] In some studies on creativity, knight's move thinking—while describing a similarly loose association of ideas—is not considered a mental disorder or the hallmark of one; it is sometimes used as a synonym for lateral thinking.

  7. Ironic process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic_process_theory

    Ironic process theory (IPT), also known as the Pink elephant paradox [1] or White bear phenomenon, suggests that when an individual intentionally tries to avoid thinking a certain thought or feeling a certain emotion, a paradoxical effect is produced: the attempted avoidance not only fails in its object but in fact causes the thought or emotion to occur more frequently and more intensely. [2]

  8. Non-verbal leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-verbal_leakage

    The term "non-verbal leakage" got its origin in literature in 1968, leading to many subsequent studies on the topic throughout the 1970s (including multiple studies by American psychologist Paul Ekman), with related studies continuing today. [1] Non-verbal leakage is a prominent concept in the study of body language.

  9. MR-73 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MR-73

    The MR-73 has a different electrical braking system from the MR-63 to assist friction braking. The MR-73's current chopper recuperates energy when in braking mode, turning traction motors into generators and sending a regulated current back into the traction power supply for other trains to use.
