- 20:51, 19 October 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Condenser microphone (Created page with "A condenser microphone (typically a high quality or professional one) contains a thin conducting diaphragm exposed to the sound and a fixed metal plate behind it. When charged to a relatively high voltage, the varying capacitance between them generates a varying output.")
- 20:32, 19 October 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Electret microphone (Created page with "An electret microphone is one containing an electret material (having a built-in electric charge) to convert the sound into a varying electric charge. An FET is always incorporated in it requiring a supply of a few volts, to convert the charge into a varying voltage.")

It can be inserted either way up and can be used for charging, sync and accessories. It contains an authentication chip making it difficult for 3rd parties to produce compatible accessories.")

It consists of a polymer loaded with carbon particles. An excessive current causes it to heat up and the polymer to expand so that the carbon particles are no longer in contact. As a result, the current can no longer flow until it's allowed to cool down. See Polyfuses in...")

The US, Russia, the EU and other countries each have their own systems but a suitable GPS receiver can combine the results from more than one system to improve its accuracy.") Tag: Visual edit

Thus, one radio can perform many different functions just by changing the software, whether it be sound or television broadcast, or data such as WiFi, Bluetooth or GPS.") Tag: Visual edit

- 09:11, 15 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Saturation (magnetic) (Created page with "A magnetic material such as iron is said to be saturated when it cannot be magnetised any more. This is undesirable in a transformer or an inductor as its performance is then reduced. But in digital magnetic recording (in a hard disk or a digital tape) the surface is deliberately saturated in order to reliably record ones and zeros.") Tag: Visual edit
- 08:59, 15 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Saturation (transistor) (Created page with "When a junction transistor used as a switch in a digital circuit is turned on as hard as it will go it is said to be saturated. In this condition there is excess charge in the collector region, and this has to drain away before the transistor will switch off again. This limits the speed at which it can switch, and so saturation is a condition designers try to avoid.")
- 21:34, 14 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Saturation (colour) (Created page with "The saturation of a colour is its purity. This can be used together with the chrominance (the hue) and the luminance (the brightness) as an alternative to specifying the red, green and blue (RGB) components. This is useful because the eye perceives variations of chrominance and saturation across an image much less sharply than variations of luminance. Hence these latter can be presented at lower definition...") Tag: Visual edit

- 21:25, 14 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Luminance (Created page with "A colour in an image or video can most simply be defined by its red, green and blue (RGB) components, but in principle any 3 independant properties can be used. Another way is by specifying its luminance (brightness), its chrominance (the hue of the colour) and its saturation (the pureness of the colour). This is useful because the eye perceives variations in luminance across an image much more sharply than variations of chrominance or saturation. Hence...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 21:11, 14 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:CMYK (Created page with "Rather than the primary colours red, green and blue, printers use the complementary colours cyan, magenta and yellow (referred to as CMY) but also black to darken a pixel as required. This is then referred to as CMYK.") Tag: Visual edit
- 21:06, 14 September 2022 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:CMY (Created page with "A colour image or video can be represented by the red, greeen and blue (RGB) primary colours added together in appropriate proportions, but this doesn't work for printing, since each colour ink subtracts a range of colours from the incident white light rather than adding anything. So printers use the complementary colours Cyan (green + blue, absorbing red light), Magenta (blue + red, absorbing green light) and Yellow (red + green, absorbing blue light). In practice, prin...")

Formerly it was often a separate add-on card but nowadays it's nearly always buit-in to the computer unless an extra one is needed. A computer connected to more than one network or a router has a NIC for each network, and each must have its own IPAddress.")

It uses a connector which is almost rectangular, but with two corners on the same long edge slightly rounded. The connectors can accommodate 3 rows of 8 pins plus an extra 4 in a separate group for analogue video, but the number actually present varies according to the type and number of video channels supported.")

It uses a connector in standard, mini and micro sizes, all shaped as a rectangle with two chamfered corners on the same long edge.")
