Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Synchronous

    When applied to two or more circuits, the term “in step” or “in phase” refers to their synchronization or alignment, indicating that they are operating in unison or at the same stage of their respective cycles. Happening concurrently or simultaneously.  

  • Synchronizing pulse

    In the realm of television cameras, there exists a transient pulse generated to ensure the synchronization and simultaneous scanning of the two electron beams in both the camera and the monitor. This pulse serves the purpose of maintaining their alignment and ensuring that they scan corresponding sections of the picture simultaneously.  

  • Sweet’s eye

    A radiographic technique employed to pinpoint the precise location of an obstructing foreign object within the eye, utilizing a specialized device called a Keleket eye localizer.  

  • Electrical surge

    Within an electric circuit, there occurs a transient phenomenon characterized by a sudden and substantial surge in either the current or voltage.  

  • Electrical suppressing

    In the realm of electrical rectification, there is a term that pertains to a sine wave wherein the inverse or negative alternation is constrained by a diode tube. This term finds its application in discussions related to the process of converting alternating current to direct current.  

  • Supply voltage

    The voltage derived from a power source to facilitate the functioning of an electrical circuit.  

  • Superficial therapy

    In the domain of radiation therapy, there exists a specific term denoting a treatment strategy meticulously crafted to optimize the impact on the skin while simultaneously safeguarding the underlying tissues from undue effects.  

  • Film subtraction

    In the realm of radiology, there exists a methodology known as image overlay, where two distinct images are merged together. One of these images assumes a negative form, effectively nullifying any unwanted elements within the composition. This process serves to accentuate the intricate particulars exclusively present in a single image, thus enhancing their visibility.  

  • Streaky films

    This condition commonly arises from the neglect of properly agitating the films during the development or fixation process.  

  • Stray radiation

    Extraneous radiation, encompassing both leakage and scatter radiation, which does not serve any beneficial purpose.
