This is actually called a single phase half converter and it is used to have an adjustable DC output voltage. It is like a bridge rectifier but two of the diodes are replaced with a solid state switch, SCR for example, and there is also a freewheeling diode in parallel with the load. A half converted can have an output voltage that is adjustable from 0.9*E to 0 volts. It does this be adjusting the firing angle of the switches. There is also a full converted and the difference is that it has an output voltage from + 0.9*E to - 0.9*E volts.

How much does a bridge weigh?

Can you give us some idea of the size of bridge you're referring to? Firstly, how long is it? If it's a suspension bridge do you include all the shore anchorages in the weight? What is it made from - stone, brick, steel, wood, for example? Is the whole of the bridge made from the same thing? What sort of load is it meant to carry?


What is meant by entry controled loop?

An exit-controlled loop is a loop where the controlling conditional expression is evaluated at the end of each iteration, as opposed to an entry-controlled loop where the expression is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration. The upshot is that an exit-controlled loop always executes at least one complete iteration whereas an entry-controlled loop might not iterate at all: int x = 100; // entry-controlled loop while (x<50) { printf ("%d\n", x++); // won't execute at all because x<50 is false } // exit-controlled loop do { printf ("%d\n", x++); // will execute one time only } while (x<50);


What is meant by SPDT?

In electronics, an SPDT is a type of switch. It stands for "Single Pole, Double Throw." In America, it's known as a three-way switch.


Is a wildcard for more than one character?

It depends on where you are using it. Back in the DOS days, a * meant multiple characters and a ? meant one character. I've seen software that says to use *, ?, and % for wildcards, but they were all for multiple characters. So it really depends on what you are using. Not everything supports a single wildcard.


What is meant by single point mooring?

Single point mooring (SPM) or Single buoy Mooring (SBM) is a devices used to fill the ships with oil, located in an area's called terminals, the SPM system has hoses to fill the ship, while the other part is attached to the ship to prevent it from slipping with sea waves during filling process
