  2. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  3. 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 ...

  4. Optoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectronics

    Electronic light sensors. Optoelectronics (or optronics) is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that find, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics.

  5. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    Relays do not transmit power like a transformer, but relatively little coil power can control a much higher power circuit, making them a kind of amplifier. They are very widely used for control applications where the two sides operate at different voltages or otherwise require galvanic isolation.

  6. Signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_processing

    Signal processing is an electrical engineering subfield that focuses on analyzing, modifying and synthesizing signals, such as sound, images, potential fields, seismic signals, altimetry processing, and scientific measurements. [1]

  7. How Did This Octopus Open a Screw-Top Lid? - AOL

    Scientists were expecting the octopus to work on problem-solving solutions by understanding how the screw top lid works and opening it with its arms. But the octopus bypassed the screw top completely.

  8. File:Optocoupler Circuit.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Optocoupler_Circuit.svg

    English: A diagram of a simple circuit using an optocoupler. When the switch S' 1 is closed, the diode emits light and the transistor conducts. v' out thus goes low. This circuit therefore acts much like a logicalNOT gate.
