  2. Light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    Vintage push-button light switches. The push-button light switch has two buttons: one that closes the contacts and one that opens the contacts. Pushing the raised button opens or closes the contacts and pops out the previously depressed button so the process can be reversed. In the U.S., the buttons were commonly black; the "on" button ...

  3. Limit switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_switch

    A limit switch mounted on a moving part of a bridge. In electrical engineering, a limit switch is a switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object. A limit switch can be used for controlling machinery as part of a control system, as a safety interlock, or as a counter enumerating objects passing a point. [1]

  4. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    In power engineering, a single-line diagram ( SLD ), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [ 1][ 2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three ...

    Nissan Presage. The Nissan Elgrand ( Japanese: 日産・エルグランド, Hepburn: Nissan Erugurando) is a minivan manufactured by Nissan Shatai for Nissan since 1997, available in three generations, with model codes E50 (1997–2002), E51 (2002–2010), and E52 (2010–present). The E50 Elgrand was also configured and produced as a light ...

  6. Photoreceptor cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell

    A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction. The great biological importance of photoreceptors is that they convert light (visible electromagnetic radiation) into signals that can stimulate biological processes. To be more specific, photoreceptor proteins in ...

  7. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

    3-phase transfer switch single-line diagram Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a switch, while others are automatic and trigger when they sense one of the sources has lost or gained power.

  8. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting. Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.

  9. Reflection (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(physics)

    Reflection of light is either specular (mirror-like) or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending on the nature of the interface.In specular reflection the phase of the reflected waves depends on the choice of the origin of coordinates, but the relative phase between s and p (TE and TM) polarizations is fixed by the properties of the media and of the interface between them.
