stch1 Flashcards
technique in making an apparatus
automation
an electronic device that controls the flow of electrons in a vacuum.
Vacuum tubes
an electronic component that can be used as amplifier or as a switch.
transistor
a small electronic circuit printed on a chip(usually made of silicon ) that contains many its own circuit elements.
Integrated circuit(IC)
an electronic component held on an integrated circuit that contains a computer’s central processing unit(CPU) and other associated circuit.
Microprocessor
brain of the computer
Central processing unit(CPU)
a cylinder coated with magnetic material,or which data programs can be stored.
Magnetic drum
uses array of small rings of magnetized material called to store information.
magnetic core
physical device that is used to store data information and program in a computer.
memory
area of computer science that deals with the simulation and creation of intelligent machines or intelligent behavior in computers
artificial intelligence
set of electronic components in an integrated circuit.
chipset
the ceiling of the dome is coated with carbon.
Conductive
achieved by polarizing the light in varied amounts and making it pass through the liquid crystal layer.
optical effect
the plastic top cap with the letter printing.
keycap
this is what the keycap is mounted on.
stem
the case that holds all the components together
switch housing
wraps around the base of the slinder and pushes the switch back into its stikes one another.
spring
these are what register a keystroke when they strike one another.
metal contact leaves
number of independent processes a chip can handle at once.
threads
determines how fast it can process data which obviously reflects on the performance.
clock speed
these are the processor within the processor
core
one of the first mechanical keyboard switches available to the general public.
black switch
one of the first mechanical keyboard switches available to the general public.
linear switch
are about halfway between a typing and a gaming switch.
brown switch
are popular within the typing community because of the clicky tactile bump when the activation
blue switch
bit harder to find in the keyboards, but uses consider them to have mary users consider them to have more of the tactile feel than the browns without being as clicky as the blue switches.
clear switch
similar to the cherry black in that they are both categories as linear, non-tactile
red switch
the point at which the contact mechanism registers a keypress.
Actuation point
base of hand to tip of middle finger
hand length
knuckle of the thumb to the outer edge of the palm.
hand width
