    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Carronade

    USS Carronade (IFS-1/LFR-1) was a ship of the United States Navy first commissioned in 1955. She was named after the carronade, a type of short barreled cannon.. As an Inshore Fire Support Ship (IFS), part of the so-called "brown-water navy", Carronade was designed under project SCB 37, and built to provide direct naval gunfire support to amphibious landings or operations close to shore.

  3. IEEE 1451 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1451

    IEEE 1451 is a set of smart transducer interface standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Instrumentation and Measurement Society's Sensor Technology Technical Committee describing a set of open, common, network-independent communication interfaces for connecting transducers (sensors or actuators) to microprocessors, instrumentation systems, and ...

  4. CAN FD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_FD

    CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate) is a data-communication protocol used for broadcasting sensor data and control information on 2 wire interconnections between different parts of electronic instrumentation and control system. This protocol is used in modern high performance vehicles.

  5. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    P&IDs are originally drawn up at the design stage from a combination of process flow sheet data, the mechanical process equipment design, and the instrumentation engineering design. During the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, allowing for further safety and operational ...

  6. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    In order to determine the heat sink thermal resistance, the flow rate, input power, inlet air temperature and heat sink base temperature need to be known. Vendor-supplied data is commonly provided for ducted test results. [29] However, the results are optimistic and can give misleading data when heat sinks are used in an unducted application.

  7. Sail switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_switch

    A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is actuated on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. [1] A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle or a diaphragm which gets displaced due to the force of fluid or air moving past it. Sail switches find application in ...

  8. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall. Pressure switches are widely used in industry to automatically supervise and control systems that use pressurized fluids.

  9. Number One Electronic Switching System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_One_Electronic...

    The No. 1 Electronic Switching System Arranged with Data Features (No. 1 ESS ADF) was an adaptation of the Number One Electronic Switching System to create a store and forward message switching system. It used both single and multi-station lines for transmitting teletypewriter and data messages. It was created to respond to a growing need for ...
