  2. Sound-powered telephone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound-powered_telephone

    A sound-powered telephone is a communication device that allows users to talk to each other with the use of a handset, similar to a conventional telephone, but without the use of external power. This technology has been used since at least 1944 [ 1 ] for both routine and emergency communication on ships to allow communication between key ...

  3. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    When the power supply ramp is rapid, the R and C values can be calculated so that the time to reach the switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is enough to apply a long enough reset pulse. When the power-supply ramp itself is slow, the RC network tends to get charged up along with the power-supply ramp up. So when the input Schmitt stage is ...

    Power supply may be bad Long continuous beep tone Memory failure Steady, long beeps Power supply bad No beep Power supply bad, system not plugged in, or power not turned on No beep If everything seems to be functioning correctly there may be a problem with the 'beeper' itself. The system will normally beep one short beep. One long, two short beeps

    The hardware of GSM base station displayed in Deutsches Museum. The base station subsystem (BSS) is the section of a traditional cellular telephone network which is responsible for handling traffic and signaling between a mobile phone and the network switching subsystem.

  6. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    In July 2007 California's 2005 appliance standards came into effect, limiting external power supply standby power to 0.5 watts. [16] On 6 January 2010, the European Commission (EC) Regulation No 1275/2008 came into force. The regulations mandate that from 6 January 2010, "off mode" and standby power for electrical and electronic household and ...

  7. Sense (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_(electronics)

    In electronics, sense is a technique used in power supplies to produce the correct voltage for a load.Although simple batteries naturally maintain a steady voltage (except in cases of large internal impedance), a power supply must use a feedback system to make adjustments based on the difference between its intended output and its actual output.

  8. Wireless power transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer

    When the phone is set on the pad, a coil in the pad creates a magnetic field [1] which induces a current in another coil, in the phone, charging its battery. Generic block diagram of a wireless power system. Wireless power transfer (WPT; also wireless energy transmission or WET) is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a

  9. Electrical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_load

    The term is used more broadly in electronics for a device connected to a signal source, whether or not it consumes power. [2] If an electric circuit has an output port , a pair of terminals that produces an electrical signal, the circuit connected to this terminal (or its input impedance ) is the load .
