NONLUMINOUS BODIES

Objects that either reflect or diffuse light that falls upon them [10].

NONRESONANT LINE

A transmission fine that has no standing waves of current or voltage [10].

NONTRIP-FREE CIRCUIT BREAKER

A circuit breaker that can be held in the ON position during an overcurrent condition [3].

NOR

A logic function of A and B that is true if both A and B are false [13].

NOR GATE

An OR gate that is followed by an inverter to form a binary circuit in which the output is a logic 0 if ANY of the inputs is a logic 1 and the output is a logic 1 only if ALL the inputs are a logic 0 [13].

NORMAL

The imaginary line perpendicular to the point at which the incident wave strikes the reflecting surface. Also called the perpendicular [10].

NOT CIRCUIT

A binary circuit with a single output that is always the opposite of the input. Also called an INVERTER CIRCUIT [13].

NPN

An NPN transistor is formed by introducing a thin region of P-type material between two regions of N-type material [7].

NULL

On a polar-coordinate graph, the area that represents minimum or 0 radiation [10].

NUMBER

(1) A mathematical entity that may indicate quantity or amount of units. (2) Loosely, a numeral. An abstract mathematical symbol for expressing a quantity. In this sense, the manner of representing the number is immaterial. Take 26, for example; this is its decimal form - but it could be expressed as a binary (base 2), octal (base 8), or hexadecimal (base 16) number [13].
