  2. Hormonal intrauterine device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormonal_intrauterine_device

    A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD), also known as an intrauterine system (IUS) with progestogen and sold under the brand name Mirena among others, is an intrauterine device that releases a progestogenic hormonal agent such as levonorgestrel into the uterus. [2]

  3. Thyristor-controlled reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-controlled_reactor

    A TCR comprises two main items of equipment: the reactor itself, which is usually air-cored (although iron-cored reactors are possible) and the thyristor valve. Depending on the system voltage, an intermediate power transformer may be required to step up from the voltage handled by the thyristors to the transmission system voltage.

  4. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

    A transmission control unit (TCU), also known as a transmission control module (TCM), or a gearbox control unit (GCU), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation and actuation.

  5. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.

  6. Transfer function matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function_matrix

    In many cases, the system under consideration is a linear time-invariant (LTI) system. In such cases, it is convenient to express the transfer matrix in terms of the Laplace transform (in the case of continuous time variables) or the z-transform (in the case of discrete time variables) of the variables.

  7. Relay logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_logic

    Example Ladder Logic Diagram. The schematic diagrams for relay logic circuits are often called line diagrams, because the inputs and outputs are essentially drawn in a series of lines. A relay logic circuit is an electrical network consisting of lines, or rungs, in which each line or rung must have continuity to enable the output device. A ...

  8. Comparison of birth control methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth...

    The hormonal IUD (also known as levonorgestrel intrauterine system or LNg IUD) releases a small amount of the hormone called progestin that can prevent pregnancy for 3–8 years with a failure rate of 0.1-0.4%. [1] IUDs can be removed by a trained medical professional at any time before the expiration date to allow for pregnancy.

  9. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    Valve hall at Henday converter station, part of the Nelson River DC Transmission System in Canada. The converter is usually installed in a building called the valve hall . Early HVDC systems used mercury-arc valves , but since the mid-1970s, solid state devices such as thyristors have been used.
