Electrical lengthIn electrical engineering, electrical length is a dimensionless parameter equal to the physical length of an electrical conductor such as a cable or wire, divided by the wavelength of alternating current at a given frequency traveling through the conductor. In other words, it is the length of the conductor measured in wavelengths. It can alternately be expressed as an angle, in radians or degrees, equal to the phase shift the alternating current experiences traveling through the conductor.
Acoustique industrielleL'acoustique industrielle est le domaine technologique de l'application de vibrations pour transformer des matériaux. Les fréquences de ces vibrations, de forte puissance, sont fréquemment au-delà du domaine audible. Les procédés les plus courants sont le décapage, la découpe et le soudage par ultrasons. Selon une autre définition, l'acoustique industrielle est l'ensemble des techniques servant à modifier la production et la transmission des sons et des bruits propres à l'industrie.
Sound transmission classSound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. In the US, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations. Outside the US, the ISO Sound Reduction Index (SRI) is used. The STC rating very roughly reflects the decibel reduction of noise that a partition can provide. The STC is useful for evaluating annoyance due to speech sounds, but not music or machinery noise as these sources contain more low frequency energy than speech.
Electrical resistance and conductanceThe electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current. Its reciprocal quantity is , measuring the ease with which an electric current passes. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with mechanical friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω), while electrical conductance is measured in siemens (S) (formerly called the 'mho' and then represented by ℧). The resistance of an object depends in large part on the material it is made of.
Room acousticsRoom acoustics is a subfield of acoustics dealing with the behaviour of sound in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. The architectural details of a room influences the behaviour of sound waves within it, with the effects varying by frequency. Acoustic reflection, diffraction, and diffusion can combine to create audible phenomena such as room modes and standing waves at specific frequencies and locations, echos, and unique reverberation patterns.
Connectiquevignette|Connecteurs circulaires (mâle et femelle) à 35 pins. La connectique désigne l’ensemble des procédés et techniques qui permettent d'établir une connexion fiable entre des systèmes électriques ou électroniques distincts. Elle est utile à la fois à la transmission de l'énergie et à celle des données. Représentée par des connecteurs, ensembles parfois appelés fiches et prises, la connectique est omniprésente dans notre vie.
Electrical elementIn electrical engineering, electrical elements are conceptual abstractions representing idealized electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, used in the analysis of electrical networks. All electrical networks can be analyzed as multiple electrical elements interconnected by wires. Where the elements roughly correspond to real components, the representation can be in the form of a schematic diagram or circuit diagram. This is called a lumped-element circuit model.
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).
Circuit électroniquealt=Circuit électronique du RaspberryPi|vignette|Circuit électronique du RaspberryPi Un circuit électronique est un circuit électrique comprenant des composants électroniques interconnectés dont le but est de remplir une fonction. Un circuit électronique est souvent réalisé sur un circuit imprimé et, parmi ses composants, certains sont fréquemment eux-mêmes des circuits électroniques intégrés. Un circuit électronique peut être étudié comme une boîte noire dont on ne considère que les grandeurs électriques présentes à chacune de ses connections extérieures.
ResonatorA resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance or resonant behavior. That is, it naturally oscillates with greater amplitude at some frequencies, called resonant frequencies, than at other frequencies. The oscillations in a resonator can be either electromagnetic or mechanical (including acoustic). Resonators are used to either generate waves of specific frequencies or to select specific frequencies from a signal. Musical instruments use acoustic resonators that produce sound waves of specific tones.
