  2. Optical mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mouse

    An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED), and a light detector, such as an array of photodiodes, to detect movement relative to a surface. Variations of the optical mouse have largely replaced the older mechanical mouse design, which uses moving parts to sense motion.

  3. Image sensor - Wikipedia

    A micrograph of the corner of the photosensor array of a webcam digital camera Image sensor (upper left) on the motherboard of a Nikon Coolpix L2 6 MP. The two main types of digital image sensors are the charge-coupled device (CCD) and the active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor), fabricated in complementary MOS (CMOS) or N-type MOS (NMOS or Live MOS) technologies.

  4. Context-sensitive user interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-sensitive_user...

    Context sensitivity is ubiquitous in current graphical user interfaces, often in context menus. A user-interface may also provide context sensitive feedback, such as changing the appearance of the mouse pointer or cursor, changing the menu color, or with auditory or tactile feedback.

  6. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    In optics, chromatic aberration (CA), also called chromatic distortion, color aberration, color fringing, or purple fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is caused by dispersion : the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light .

  7. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  8. Computer mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse

    A computer mouse with the most common features: two buttons (left and right) and a scroll wheel (which can also function as a button when pressed inwards) A typical wireless computer mouse. A computer mouse (plural mice, also mouses) [nb 1] is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface

  9. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    The heat sink thermal resistance model consists of two resistances, namely the resistance in the heat sink base, , and the resistance in the fins, . The heat sink base thermal resistance, , can be written as follows if the source is a uniformly applied the heat sink base. If it is not, then the base resistance is primarily spreading resistance:
