SECONDARY EMISSIONThe liberation of electrons from an element, other than the cathode, as a result of being struck by other high-velocity electrons [6]. | ||
SECONDARY LOOPIn a cooling system, the loop that transfers the heat from the heat source, such as electronic equipment, to the primary loop; usually distilled water [18]. | ||
SELECTIVITYThe ability of a receiver to select the desired signal and reject unwanted signals [9] [17]. | ||
SELENIUMA chemical element with light-sensitive properties that makes it useful as a semiconductor material in metallic rectifiers [7]. | ||
SELF-BIASIn a vacuum tube circuit, the voltage developed by the flow of current through a resistor in the grid or cathode leads [6]. | ||
SELF-EXCITED GENERATORSDC generators in which the generator output is fed to the field to produce field excitation [5]. | ||
SELF-EXCITED METERA term used to describe meters that operate from their own power sources [16]. | ||
SELF-LUMINOUS BODIESObjects that produce their own light [10]. | ||
SELF-SYNCHRONIZED RADARA type of radar in which the timing pulses are generated within the transmitter [18]. | ||
