Régulateur de tensionUn régulateur de tension, est un organe électrotechnique ou un composant électronique qui maintient à sa sortie, dans certaines limites, une tension constante, indépendamment de la charge et de la tension d'entrée. Jusque dans les années 1970, les automobiles utilisaient un régulateur électromécanique pour réguler la tension de sortie de leur dynamo ou de leur alternateur. Ces régulateurs utilisent plusieurs relais commutant des résistances afin de faire varier le courant d'excitation de l'alternateur et rendre ainsi sa tension de sortie indépendante du régime de rotation du moteur et de la consommation électrique.
Nintendo 64 controllerThe Nintendo 64 controller (model number: NUS-005) is the standard game controller for the Nintendo 64 home video game console. Manufactured and released by Nintendo on June 23, 1996, in Japan, in September 29, 1996 in North America, and March 1, 1997 in Europe, it is the successor to the Super Nintendo controller and is designed in an "M" shape and features 10 buttons, one analog "Control Stick" and a directional pad. The controller was designed by Nintendo R&D3, under direction to try new ideas that would break from typical game controllers.
Polymer capacitorA polymer capacitor, or more accurately a polymer electrolytic capacitor, is an electrolytic capacitor (e-cap) with a solid conductive polymer electrolyte. There are four different types: Polymer tantalum electrolytic capacitor (Polymer Ta-e-cap) Polymer aluminium electrolytic capacitor (Polymer Al-e-cap) Hybrid polymer capacitor (Hybrid polymer Al-e-cap) Polymer niobium electrolytic capacitors Polymer Ta-e-caps are available in rectangular surface-mounted device (SMD) chip style.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitorAluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminum foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A non-solid electrolyte covers the rough surface of the oxide layer, serving in principle as the second electrode (cathode) (-) of the capacitor. A second aluminum foil called “cathode foil” contacts the electrolyte and serves as the electrical connection to the negative terminal of the capacitor.
Condensateur de découplageUn condensateur de découplage est un condensateur destiné à réduire le couplage entre signal et alimentation. Le condensateur relie le canal d'alimentation à la masse pour abaisser son impédance dans la bande passante du signal. On n'a pas besoin d'une grande précision sur la valeur du composant. Celle-ci dépend de l'intensité qui traverse le canal et de la fréquence du signal. Le module de l'impédance d'un condensateur de capacité est de la forme (avec ).
Pole–zero plotIn mathematics, signal processing and control theory, a pole–zero plot is a graphical representation of a rational transfer function in the complex plane which helps to convey certain properties of the system such as: Stability Causal system / anticausal system Region of convergence (ROC) Minimum phase / non minimum phase A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator, sensor, equalizer, filter,
Discrete time and continuous timeIn mathematical dynamics, discrete time and continuous time are two alternative frameworks within which variables that evolve over time are modeled. Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period")—that is, time is viewed as a discrete variable. Thus a non-time variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from one time period to the next.

Le courant continu haute tension (CCHT), en anglais High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), est une technologie d'électronique de puissance utilisée pour le transport de l'électricité en courant continu haute tension. Son utilisation est minoritaire par rapport au transport électrique à courant alternatif (AC) traditionnel de nos réseaux électriques.
FDTDFDTD est l'acronyme de l'expression anglaise Finite Difference Time Domain. C'est une méthode de calcul de différences finies dans le domaine temporel, qui permet de résoudre des équations différentielles dépendantes du temps. Cette méthode est couramment utilisée en électromagnétisme pour résoudre les équations de Maxwell. Cette méthode a été proposée par Kane S. Yee en 1966.

GameCube controllerThe GameCube controller is the standard game controller for the GameCube home video game console, manufactured by Nintendo and launched in 2001. As the successor to the Nintendo 64 controller, it is the progression of Nintendo's controller design in numerous ways. The contentious M-shaped design of its predecessor was replaced with a more conventional handlebar style controller shape; a second analog stick was added, replacing the C buttons with a C stick and the X and Y face buttons, last seen on the Super Nintendo controller, were reintroduced; the shoulder buttons were changed to hybrid analog triggers.
