Across
- 3. The information produced by a computer.
- 6. A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.
- 8. Switch An electromagnetically operated switching device.
- 10. The place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other.
- 11. Cell A device that converts solar radiation into electricity.
- 12. A photo-sensitive resistor whose resistance decreases as the light striking the unit increases.
- 14. Information about the output of a system that can be used to make adjustments.
- 16. Signal A system of discrete states: high or low, on or off, 1 or 0.
- 17. Try out a new procedure, idea, or activity.
- 22. Fluid power system based on the use of air or another gas.
- 24. 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.
- 25. Loop A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly.
- 26. A technique that is used to make a process automatic.
- 27. Set of instructions that control the operation of a computer.
- 28. A level or point at which something would start or cease to happen or come into effect.
- 31. To function imperfectly or badly.
- 33. Manufacturing System (FMS) The efficient production of small amounts of products.
- 34. A symbol or graphic representation on a screen of a program.
- 36. Information fed into a system.
Down
- 1. Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Using computers to operate and control machines and processes to manufacture a product.
- 2. Open The contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de-energized.
- 4. A diagram that shows step-by-step progression through a procedure or system especially using connecting lines and a set of conventional symbols.
- 5. Locating and finding the cause of problems related to technological products or systems.
- 7. System A system that uses feedback from the output to control the input.
- 9. The ability to bring a desired result with the least waste of time, energy, or material.
- 13. Fluid power system that uses water, oil, or another liquid.
- 15. Manufacturing (CIM) A company-wide management philosophy for planning, integration, and implementation of automation.
- 18. Signal A signal having the characteristic of being continuous and changing smoothly over a given range, rather than switching suddenly between certain levels.
- 19. Cell Device that combines hydrogen, or other fuels, and oxygen and produces electricity in the process.
- 20. 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).
- 21. An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
- 23. Programs and other operating information used by a computer.
- 29. 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.
- 30. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a goal.
- 32. A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation.
- 33. Power Use of liquids or gases under pressure to move objects or perform other tasks.
- 35. 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.
