  2. Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

    Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. [1] It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.

  3. Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_Aptitude_Test_in...

    The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an entrance examination conducted in India that tests the undergraduate subjects of engineering and sciences for admission to technical postgraduate programs. GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technologies at Roorkee, Delhi, Guwahati ...

  4. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    Gate valve. An electric multi-turn actuator on a gate valve. A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened. The gate faces can be parallel but ...

  5. Panama Canal locks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_locks

    The original gate machinery consisted of a huge drive wheel, powered by an electric motor, to which was attached a connecting rod, which in turn attached to the middle of the gate. [8] The gates are hollow and buoyant, much like the hull of a ship, and are so well balanced that two 19 kW (25 hp) motors are enough to move each gate leaf.

  6. Gate array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_array

    A gate array is an approach to the design and manufacture of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) using a prefabricated chip with components that are later interconnected into logic devices (e.g. NAND gates, flip-flops, etc.) according to custom order by adding metal interconnect layers in the factory. It was popular during the ...

  7. Roller chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_chain

    Roller chain and sprocket The sketch of roller chain, Leonardo da Vinci, Codex Atlanticus. Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.

  8. Flash memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

    Flash memory does not have the mechanical limitations and latencies of hard drives, so a solid-state drive (SSD) is attractive when considering speed, noise, power consumption, and reliability. Flash drives are gaining traction as mobile device secondary storage devices; they are also used as substitutes for hard drives in high-performance ...

  9. Flip-flop (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)

    It is the basic storage element in sequential logic. Flip-flops and latches are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems. Flip-flops and latches are used as data storage elements to store a single bit (binary digit) of data; one of its two states represents a ...
