Short-circuit signal

Consider a photodiode viewing a monochromatic source of wavelength A. The short circuit signal current ig is given by [see (2.18)]... 

Short-Circuit Signal Current Earlier we derived equations for photosignals, responsivity, and noise as currents. We did not mention it at the time, but those derivations assumed situations for which there were no limitations on the corresponding current - the load line was vertical. We will call those ideal theoretical currents the short-circuit signal currents i. ... 

Concerning the photovoltaic devices, when subjected to solar emission at AM 1.5, the short-circuit current (Isc) signals were 480,530, and 600 pA for Morus nigra, Morus nigra plus P-carotene and Mix, respectively. This means that the best performances were observed in the case of the blend of all organic derivatives used. 

Perhaps you have just purchased a new electronic device, such as a personal computer, video camera, pager, or cell phone. The advanced circuitry in such devices can malfunction in humid environments. Moisture can reroute and even short circuit electric signals, impairing the operation of your new electronic equipment. Manufacturers recognize that moisture can adversely affect their products and... 

This type of meter can simply be clamped on the outside surface of the pipe which avoids the possibility of the transducer probes being affected by fouling. In this instance care must be taken to avoid acoustic short-circuiting, i.e. transducer signals being transmitted and received via the pipe wall. Both clamp-on and wetted versions of the counter-propagating meter are sensitive to variations in the velocity profile of the measured liquid—but not to the velocity of sound in the medium (equation 6.3). 

Dantrolene seems to work directly on the muscle cell, affecting the sarcoplasmic reticulum within the cell. The sarcoplasmic reticulum in a muscle cell stores calcium. When the electrical signal through the nerve releases an excitatory neurotransmitter the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium, which brings on the contraction of the muscle. Dantrolene seems to prevent the release of calcium, and thus short-circuits the muscle contraction.

By use of comparators, levels below or above those defined operational bands can be monitored for electrical failures. The switch in the supply line in Fig. 7.9.7 enables a short circuit to any other sensor line to be detected at power orf. A crossover between sensor lines would generate false output signals and as a consequence a false speed calculation. This is very critical for safety systems.
