  2. Resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor

    The resistance value is determined by cutting a helix through the coating rather than by etching, similar to the way carbon resistors are made. The result is a reasonable tolerance (0.5%, 1%, or 2%) and a temperature coefficient that is generally between 50 and 100 ppm/K. [ 18 ] Metal film resistors possess good noise characteristics and low ...

  3. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    Photoresistor. A photoresistor (also known as a light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photo-conductive cell) is a passive component that decreases in resistance as a result of increasing luminosity (light) on its sensitive surface, in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be used in light-sensitive detector circuits and ...

  4. 180-degree rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule

    The rule states that the camera should be kept on one side of an imaginary axis between two characters, so that the first character is always frame right of the second character. Moving the camera over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line ; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round .

  5. Thermography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography

    Thermography. Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foreground. Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal video and/or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of ...

  6. Low-pass filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter

    A low-pass filter is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a selected cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. The exact frequency response of the filter depends on the filter design. The filter is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble-cut filter in audio applications.

  7. Photometric stereo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_stereo

    Photometric stereo. Photometric stereo analyzes multiple images of an object under different lighting conditions to estimate a normal direction at each pixel. Photometric stereo is a technique in computer vision for estimating the surface normals of objects by observing that object under different lighting conditions (photometry).

  8. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  9. Attenuator (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Type. passive. Electronic symbol. 100 Watt power attenuator. An attenuator is a passive broadband electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform. An attenuator is effectively the opposite of an amplifier, though the two work by different methods.
