BOLOMETERA loading device that undergoes changes in resistance as changes in dissipated power occur [16]. | ||
BONDING WIRESFine wires connecting the bonding pads of the chip to the external leads of the package [14]. | ||
BOOLEAN(1) Pertaining to the process used in the algebra formulated by George Boole. (2) Pertaining to the operations of formal logic [13]. | ||
BOOLEAN ALGEBRAA system of logic dealing with on-off circuit elements associated by such operators as the AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and NOT functions [13]. | ||
BOOLEAN LOGICSee BOOLEAN ALGEBRA [13]. | ||
BRANCHAn individual current path in a parallel circuit [1] [4]. | ||
BREAKIn a switch, the number of breaks refers to the number of points at which the switch opens the circuit; for example, single break and double break [3]. | ||
BREAKDOWNThe phenomenon occurring in a reverse-biased semiconductor diode. The start of the phenomenon is observed as a transition from a high dynamic resistance to one of substantially lower dynamic resistance. This is done to boost the reverse current [7]. | ||
BRIGHTNESS CONTROLThe name given to the potentiometer used to vary the potential applied to the control grid of a CRT [6]. | ||
