  2. Taylor column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_column

    Motion of fluid above and below a moving object is forced to circulate, and are thus restricted to be within a column extended by the object in the axis of rotation. A Taylor column is a fluid dynamics phenomenon that occurs as a result of the Coriolis effect. It was named after Geoffrey Ingram Taylor. Rotating fluids that are perturbed by a ...

  3. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A passive infrared detector mounted on circuit board (right), along with photoresistive detector for visible light (left). This is the type most commonly encountered in household motion sensing devices and is designed to turn on a light only when motion is detected and when the surrounding environment is sufficiently dark.

  4. Security alarm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

    Reed Switch. The hermetically sealed reed switch is a common type of two-piece sensor. This switch operates with an electrically conductive switch that is either normally open or normally closed when under the influence of a magnetic field in respect to proximity to the second piece, which contains a magnet. When the magnet moves away from the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-delay_combination_locks

    Time-delay combination locks are frequently incorporated into money safes as an armed robbery deterrent. In many instances, time-delay combination locks are also equipped with a duress code which may be entered to activate the time delay whilst sending a silent alarm to a monitoring centre.

  6. Treadle (railway) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadle_(railway)

    An electro-mechanical treadle. In railway signalling, a treadle is a mechanical or electrical device that detects that a train wheel has passed a particular location. They are used where a track circuit requires reinforcing with additional information about a train's location, such as around an automatic level crossing, or in an annunciator circuit, which sounds a warning that a train has ...

  7. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    Rather than using a mechanical commutator to switch the winding current as in traditional motors, the switched-reluctance motor uses an electronic position sensor to determine the angle of the rotor shaft and solid state electronics to switch the stator windings, which enables dynamic control of pulse timing and shaping.

  8. Electromagnetic door holder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_door_holder

    Wall-mounted electromagnetic door holder securing a door in the open position. An electromagnetic door holder (electromagnetic door holder and release or hold-open device, sometimes informally called a mag hold open or electric doorstop) is a simple electromechanical mechanism which can be used to hold a fire door or security door open until given a signal to release.

    GRS was founded in 1904 with the merger of three companies (Pneumatic Signal Company of Rochester, New York; Taylor Signal Co. of Buffalo, New York and Standard Railroad Signal Company of Arlington, New Jersey). In 1923 GRS acquired the Federal Signal Company of Albany, New York. [1] Company's former logo
