Chauffage par inductionUn chauffage par induction est une technique de chauffage reposant sur l'induction électromagnétique. Son avantage est de chauffer des matériaux sans contact avec la source d'énergie. Il existe deux principes de chauffage par induction : le chauffage par courants de Foucault, lié aux pertes par courants de Foucault générées par la résistance du matériau de la pièce à chauffer, et le chauffage par hystérésis, dans lequel la chaleur est produite par la variation de la polarité magnétique de la pièce à chauffer.
DiathermieDiathermy is electrically induced heat or the use of high-frequency electromagnetic currents as a form of physical therapy and in surgical procedures. The earliest observations on the reactions of high-frequency electromagnetic currents upon the human organism were made by Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval. The field was pioneered in 1907 by German physician Karl Franz Nagelschmidt, who coined the term diathermy from the Greek words dia and θέρμη therma, literally meaning "heating through" (adj., diather ́mal, diather ́mic).
Tube photomultiplicateurUn tube photomultiplicateur (en anglais, photomultiplier tube) est un dispositif permettant la détection de photons qui se présente sous la forme d'un tube électronique. Sous l'action de la lumière, des électrons sont arrachés d'un métal par effet photoélectrique à une photocathode, le faible courant électrique ainsi généré est amplifié par une série de dynodes utilisant le phénomène d'émission secondaire pour obtenir un gain important. Ce détecteur permet de compter les photons individuellement.
Dielectric heatingDielectric heating, also known as electronic heating, radio frequency heating, and high-frequency heating, is the process in which a radio frequency (RF) alternating electric field, or radio wave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material. At higher frequencies, this heating is caused by molecular dipole rotation within the dielectric. Molecular rotation occurs in materials containing polar molecules having an electrical dipole moment, with the consequence that they will align themselves in an electromagnetic field.
Mains humMains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity. The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60Hz, i.e.100/120Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency. The sound often has heavy harmonic content above 50/60Hz. Because of the presence of mains current in mains-powered audio equipment as well as ubiquitous AC electromagnetic fields from nearby appliances and wiring, 50/60Hz electrical noise can get into audio systems, and is heard as mains hum from their speakers.
PhilcoPhilco (an acronym for Philadelphia Battery Company)is an American electronics manufacturer headquartered in Philadelphia. Philco was a pioneer in battery, radio, and television production. In 1961, the company was purchased by Ford and, from 1966, renamed "Philco-Ford". Ford sold the company to GTE in 1974, and it was purchased by Philips in 1981. In North America, the Philco brand is owned by Philips. In other markets, the Philco International brand is owned by Electrolux.
Image intensifierAn image intensifier or image intensifier tube is a vacuum tube device for increasing the intensity of available light in an optical system to allow use under low-light conditions, such as at night, to facilitate visual imaging of low-light processes, such as fluorescence of materials in X-rays or gamma rays (), or for conversion of non-visible light sources, such as near-infrared or short wave infrared to visible.
Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Displaythumb|right|150px| Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED) désigne une technologie d'affichage destinée aux écrans plats, développée conjointement par Canon et Toshiba depuis officiellement abandonnée le au profit de la nouvelle concurrente "OLED". Le principe SED consiste à placer l'équivalent d'un canon à électrons derrière chaque sous-pixel qui constitue la "dalle" (écran de visualisation).
