  2. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    A potentiometer was often used to adjust "vertical hold", which affected the synchronization between the receiver's internal sweep circuit (sometimes a multivibrator) and the received picture signal, along with other things such as audio-video carrier offset, tuning frequency (for push-button sets) and so on. It also helps in frequency ...

  3. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    Rotary encoder for angle-measuring devices marked in 3-bit binary-reflected Gray code (BRGC). The inner ring corresponds to Contact 1 in the table. Black sectors are "on". Zero degrees is on the right-hand side, with angle increasing counter-clockwise. To avoid the above problem, Gray coding is used. This is a system of binary counting in which ...

  4. Potentiometer (measuring instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer_(measuring...

    A potentiometer being calibrated and then measuring an unknown voltage. R 1 is the resistance of the entire resistance wire. The arrow head represents the moving wiper.. In this circuit, the ends of a uniform resistance wire R 1 are connected to a regulated DC supply V S for use as a voltage divider.

  5. Weinberg angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberg_angle

    These values correspond to a Weinberg angle varying between 28.7° and 29.3° ≈ 30°. LHCb measured in 7 and 8 TeV proton–proton collisions an effective angle of sin 2 θ eff w = 0.23142, [6] though the value of ∆q for this measurement is determined by the partonic collision energy, which is close to the Z boson mass. CODATA 2022 [4 ...

  6. Servo control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

    Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...

  7. String potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_potentiometer

    The string potentiometer may be connected as a three-wire tapped resistor (voltage divider), in a control circuit, or may be packaged with electronics to produce a measurement signal in a useful form, such as a variable voltage 0-10 VDC, variable current 4-20mA, pulse encoder, Bus (DeviceNet and Canbus) and RS-232 communications.

  8. Digital potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_potentiometer

    While quite similar to normal potentiometers, digital potentiometers are constrained by current limit in the range of tens of milliamperes. Also, most digital potentiometers limit the voltage range on the two input terminals (of the resistor) to the digital supply range (e.g. 0–5 VDC), so additional circuitry may be required to replace a conventional potentiometer, (although digital ...

  9. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    This arrangement is used to measure and regulate the speed of rotating objects, including disk drives. A Hall effect sensor (also known as a Hall sensor or Hall probe ) is any sensor incorporating one or more Hall elements, each of which produces a voltage proportional to one axial component of the magnetic field vector B using the Hall effect ...
