  2. Starling resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling_resistor

    The device consisted of an elastic fluid-filled collapsible-tube mounted inside a chamber filled with air. The static pressure inside the chamber was used to control the degree of collapse of the tube, so providing a variable resistor. This resistance was used to simulate TPR, or total peripheral (vascular) resistance.

  3. Blocked rotor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_rotor_test

    The test is conducted at / the rated frequency as recommended by IEEE, because the rotor's effective resistance at low frequency may differ at high frequency. [7] [8] The test can be repeated for different values of voltage to ensure the values obtained are consistent. As the current through the stator may exceed the rated current, the test ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thích_Quảng_Độ

    Thích Quảng Độ was born Đặng Phúc Tuệ in Thanh Chau village [3] in Thái Bình Province in northern Vietnam, [4] and became a monk at age 14. During the Vietnamese famine of 1945, he walked for two days from Thanh Sam Temple, where he was training to his home village, where he carried his gravely-malnourished oldest brother from the home to the local temple and nursed him back to ...

  6. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

    Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body.

  7. Pull-up resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-up_resistor

    A resistor with relatively low resistance (relative to the circuit it is in) is often called a "strong" pull-up or pull-down; when the circuit is open, it will pull the output high or low very quickly (just as the voltage changes in an RC circuit), but will draw more current. A resistor with relatively high resistance is called a "weak" pull-up ...

  8. Dielectric withstand test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_withstand_test

    In electrical engineering, a dielectric withstand test (also pressure test, high potential test, hipot test, or insulation test) is an electrical safety test performed on a component or product to determine the effectiveness of its insulation.

  9. Resistive opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_opto-isolator

    Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...
