An electrical circuit consists of various components or devices or elements, which may be active or passive. Active devices are sources of energy, converting between forms of energy: chemical, hydraulic, thermal energy, mechanical , nuclear, solar, etc, into electrical energy, driving electrical current around the circuit and hence delivering continuous energy to it. All electrical devices which consume rather than produce energy are called passiv ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Concealment device Concealment devices, as the term suggests, are used to hide things for the purpose of secrecy. Examples in espionage include dead drop spikes for transferring items to other people, and hollowed-out coins or teeth for concealing suicide pills. Examples in smuggling include suitcases with false bottoms for hiding contraband. The picture at right shows a hollow container, fashioned to look like an Eisenhower dollar, which is still used today to hide and send messages or film without being detected. Because it resemb ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Blender device

A blender is a kitchen appliance used to blend ingredients or puree food. The term typically refers to a stationary, upright electrical device, which is to be distinguished from a hand-powered or electric mixer that may be used for similar purposes. A typical blender is built around a vessel for the ingredients to be blended. At the top of the vessel is a cap to prevent ingredients from escaping when the blender is switched on. At the bottom is a blade assembly, typically removable for cleaning purposes. The bottom seal is most ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Brannock Device

The Brannock Device™ is a measuring instrument invented by Charles F. Brannock for computing a person's shoe size. The son of a shoe industry entrepreneur, Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the human foot. He eventually improved on the wooden RITZ Stick, the industry standard of the day, and patented his first prototype in 1926. Brannock later formed the Brannock Device Company to manufacturer and sell the product, and headed the company until 1992 when he died at age 89. Today the Brannock Device is an international standard of the footwear industry, and the Smithsonian Institution ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Device file

A device file or special file is an interface for a device driver that appears in a file system as if it were an ordinary file. This allows software to interact with the device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies many tasks. Device files often provide simple interfaces to peripheral devices, such as printers. But they can also be used to access specific resources on those devices, such as disk partitions. Finally, device files are useful for accessing system resources that have no connection with any actual devic ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Display device

A display device is a device for visual or tactile presentation of images (including text) acquired, stored, or transmitted in various forms. While most common displays are designed to present information dynamically in a visual medium, tactile displays, usually intended for the blind or visually impaired, use mechanical parts to dynamically update a tactile image (usually of text) so that the image may be felt by the fingers. Common types of display devices are: Analog electronic displays CRT display (ear ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Cloaking device

In several science fiction universes, a cloaking device is an advanced stealth system which causes a spaceship or individual to be invisible and extremely difficult to detect with normal sensors. However, the idea of a cloaking device could be extended to any object and is not restricted simply to spacecraft. Cloaking device - Star Trek cloaking device. In Star Trek, cloaking devices were first introduced and used by the Romulans in the original series episode "Balance of Terror". The invisibility ca ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Agitator device

An agitator is a mechanism to put something into motion by shaking or stirring. Agitator device - Washing machine agitators. In a top load washing machine the agitator projects from the bottom of the wash basket and creates the wash action by rotating back and forth, rolling garments from the top of the load, down to the bottom, then back up again. The following types are known: dual-rollover, dual-action, and triple-rollover action agitators. ImpellerIncluding:

Devic: Encyclopedia - Beartrap helicopter device

The beartrap or bearclaw is the name of a device invented to enable smaller warships, like frigates and destroyers to carry helicopters, and allow those helicopters to land in bad weather. In the bearclaw system the helicopter lowers a line with the bearclaw on it, and, when that line is secured, the helicopter is winched in. The rotors rotate at full power, which prevents the helicopter colliding w

Devic: Encyclopedia - Unit Load Device

Unit Load Devices, or ULDs, are pallets and containers used to load luggage, freight, and mail on wide-body aircraft. They allow large quantities of cargo to be bundled into large units. Since this leads to fewer units to load, it saves ground crews time and effort, and helps prevent delayed flights. Each ULD is manifested separately so that its contents can be tracked. Unit Load Device - Types. ULDs come in two forms: pallets and containers. ULD pallets are rugged sheets of aluminum with rims designed to l ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Charge-coupled device

A charge-coupled device (CCD) is a sensor for recording images, consisting of an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to one or other of its neighbours. CCDs are used in digital photography and astronomy (particularly in photometry, optical and UV spectroscopy and high speed techniques such as lucky imaging). Charge-coupled device - History. The CCD was invented ...

Devic: Encyclopedia - Covert listening device

A covert listening device, more commonly known as a bug, is usually a combination of a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone. The use of bugs, called bugging, is a common technique in espionage and, increasingly, in police investigations. Most bugs use a radio transmitter, but there are many other options for carrying a signal: radio frequencies may be sent through the main wiring of a building and picked up outside; transmissions from a cordless phone can be monitored; and it is possible to pick up the data from poorly configured wireless computer net ...

Devic: Encyclopedia II - Semiconductor device - Semiconductor device materials

By far, silicon (Si) is the most widely used material in semiconductor devices. Its combination of low raw material cost, relatively simple processing, and a useful temperature range make it currently the best compromise among the various competing materials. Silicon used in semiconductor device manufacturing is currently fabricated into boules that are large enough in diameter to allow the production of 300 mm (12 in.) wafers. Germanium (Ge) was a widely used early semiconductor material but its thermal sensitivity makes it less usef ...
