  2. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    A snubber is a device used to suppress ("snub") a phenomenon such as voltage transients in electrical systems, pressure transients in fluid systems (caused by for example water hammer) or excess force or rapid movement in mechanical systems.

  3. Soft-switching three-level inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-switching_three-level...

    This base design is supplemented by a snubber circuit consisting of a few passive components. [5] It prevents the occurrence of simultaneously high values of voltage and current, and hence high power dissipation values, during the switching process. All switching processes therefore take place in a "soft" manner.

    A smaller unit which simulates a complete unit or element in an electrical test, without reducing the severity of the electrical, thermal or mechanical conditions. [v] multi-connected converter A converter consisting of two or more converter units parallel connected or series connected or both, each of which is an operative converter of its own.

  5. List of electronic music genres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music...

    This is a list of electronic music genres, consisting of genres of electronic music, primarily created with electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology. A distinction has been made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology. [ 1 ]

  6. Mechanical snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_snubber

    A mechanical snubber is a mechanical device designed to protect components from excess shock or sway caused by seismic disturbances or other transient forces. [1] During normal operating conditions, the snubber allows for movement in tension and compression. [2] When an impulse event occurs, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint ...

  7. Electronic music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music

    Electronic music broadly is a group of music genres that employ electronic musical instruments, circuitry-based music technology and software, or general-purpose electronics (such as personal computers) in its creation. It includes both music made using electronic and electromechanical means (electroacoustic music).

  8. Snubbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubbing

    A snubbing rigup is a very tall structure. It consists of a hydraulically powered snubbing unit, which provides the force on a pipe, above a string of multi-layered pressure control components.

  9. Seismic vibration control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_vibration_control

    Hydraulic snubbers are used on piping systems when restrained thermal movement is allowed. [5] Mechanical snubbers operate on the standards of restricting acceleration of any pipe movements to a threshold of 0.2 g's, which is the maximum acceleration that the snubber will permit the piping to see.
