Across
  1. 7. A device that responds to a physical stimulus (as heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism, or a particular motion) and transmits a resulting impulse (as for measurement or operating a control).
  2. 8. Signal A system of discrete states: high or low, on or off, 1 or 0.
  3. 11. Locating and finding the cause of problems related to technological products or systems.
  4. 13. Information about the output of a system that can be used to make adjustments.
  5. 15. System A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input for control purposes. An open-loop system often requires human intervention.
  6. 16. Fluid power system based on the use of air or another gas.
  7. 17. Set of instructions that control the operation of a computer.
  8. 18. Cell Device that combines hydrogen, or other fuels, and oxygen and produces electricity in the process.
  9. 21. A level or point at which something would start or cease to happen or come into effect.
  10. 22. A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation.
  11. 23. A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.
  12. 25. Try out a new procedure, idea, or activity.
  13. 26. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a goal.
  14. 27. A photo-sensitive resistor whose resistance decreases as the light striking the unit increases.
  15. 29. The information produced by a computer.
  16. 31. The place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other.
  17. 32. A conductor wrapped around an iron core. The two ends of the conductor are attached to a power source. When current passes through the conductor, the iron core becomes magnetized.
  18. 34. Fluid power system that uses water, oil, or another liquid.
  19. 35. An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
Down
  1. 1. System A system that uses feedback from the output to control the input.
  2. 2. To function imperfectly or badly.
  3. 3. Cell A device that converts solar radiation into electricity.
  4. 4. Switch An electromagnetically operated switching device.
  5. 5. Programs and other operating information used by a computer.
  6. 6. Loop A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly.
  7. 9. Manufacturing (CIM) A company-wide management philosophy for planning, integration, and implementation of automation.
  8. 10. Manufacturing System (FMS) The efficient production of small amounts of products.
  9. 12. Open The contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de-energized.
  10. 14. Signal A signal having the characteristic of being continuous and changing smoothly over a given range, rather than switching suddenly between certain levels.
  11. 18. A diagram that shows step-by-step progression through a procedure or system especially using connecting lines and a set of conventional symbols.
  12. 19. The ability to bring a desired result with the least waste of time, energy, or material.
  13. 20. A symbol or graphic representation on a screen of a program.
  14. 24. Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Using computers to operate and control machines and processes to manufacture a product.
  15. 28. A technique that is used to make a process automatic.
  16. 30. Resistor A negative temperature coefficient, also known as a thermistor, is a sensitive resistor whose primary function is to exhibit a change in electric resistance with a change in temperature.
  17. 33. Power Use of liquids or gases under pressure to move objects or perform other tasks.
  18. 36. Information fed into a system.
