  2. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    Stand-alone switched-mode power supply An adjustable switched-mode power supply for laboratory use. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS), also called switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, switched power supply, or simply switcher, is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.

  3. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    If the SMPS uses an adequately insulated high-frequency transformer, the output will be electrically isolated from the mains; this feature is often essential for safety. Switched-mode power supplies are usually regulated, and to keep the output voltage constant, the power supply employs a feedback controller that monitors current drawn by the load.

  4. Boost converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_converter

    For high efficiency, the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) switch must turn on and off quickly and have low losses. The advent of a commercial semiconductor switch in the 1950s represented a major milestone that made SMPSs such as the boost converter possible. The major DC to DC converters were developed in the early 1960s when semiconductor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_polymer

    Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are polymeric smart materials that have the ability to return from a deformed state (temporary shape) to their original (permanent) shape when induced by an external stimulus (trigger), such as temperature change.

    D.C. variable bench power supply unit, with a digital display showing current (left) and voltage (right), and three banana connectors (+, ground, -).Other power supplies may use the opposite order for indicators and connectors, and two different colours for the indicators.

  9. Scanning mobility particle sizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_mobility_particle...

    A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) is an analytical instrument that measures the size and number concentration of aerosol particles with diameters from 2.5 nm to 1000 nm. [1] They employ a continuous, fast-scanning technique to provide high-resolution measurements.
