  2. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    Non-inverting circuit. The classic non-inverting Schmitt trigger can be turned into an inverting trigger by taking V out from the emitters instead of from a Q2 collector. In this configuration, the output voltage is equal to the dynamic threshold (the shared emitter voltage) and both the output levels stay away from the supply rails.

  3. Comparator hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparator_hypothesis

    The comparator hypothesis arose primarily in response to so-called “cue competition” effects. If for example in classical conditioning, two conditioned stimuli A and B are presented with an unconditioned stimulus, one may find on test that the subject responds to A or to B or to both or not very much to either.

  4. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    Schmitt trigger implemented by a non-inverting comparator. Another typical configuration of op amps is with positive feedback, which takes a fraction of the output signal back to the non-inverting input. An important application of positive feedback is the comparator with hysteresis, the Schmitt trigger.

  5. Schema (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_(psychology)

    In psychology and cognitive science, a schema (pl.: schemata or schemas) describes a pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of information and the relationships among them. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It can also be described as a mental structure of preconceived ideas, a framework representing some aspect of the world, or a system of ...

  6. Relaxation oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_oscillator

    Relaxation oscillators are generally used to produce low frequency signals for such applications as blinking lights and electronic beepers. During the vacuum tube era they were used as oscillators in electronic organs and horizontal deflection circuits and time bases for CRT oscilloscopes; one of the most common was the Miller integrator circuit invented by Alan Blumlein, which used vacuum ...

  7. Comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparator

    When the inverting input is at a higher voltage than the non inverting input, the output of the comparator connects to the negative power supply. When the non inverting input is higher than the inverting input, the output is high impedance, so the output voltage in this state can be set by an external pull-up resistor to a different voltage supply.

  8. Image schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_schema

    Experientially basic and primarily spatial image schemas such as the Containment schema and its derivatives the Out schemas lend their logic to non-spatial situations. For example, one may metaphorically use the term out to describe non-spatial experiences: (4) Leave out that big log when you stack the firewood.

  9. Multivibrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator

    The voltage at inverting terminal will be greater than the voltage at the non-inverting terminal of the op-amp. This is a comparator circuit and hence, the output becomes -V sat. The voltage at node a becomes -βV sat due to voltage division. Now the capacitor discharges towards -V sat. At some point, the voltage at b becomes less than -β V ...
