Deutsch: PWB (gedruckte Verdrahtungsplatte) / Español: PWB (Placa de Circuito Impreso) / Português: PWB (Placa de Circuito Impresso) / Français: PWB (Carte de Circuit Imprimé) / Italiano: PWB (Scheda a Circuito Stampato)
PWB, standing for Printed Wiring Board, is a term used in the electronics manufacturing industry to refer to the substrate or base material upon which electronic components are mounted to create a functional electronic circuit. PWBs are foundational elements in virtually all electronic devices, from simple gadgets to complex computing systems, serving as the physical platform for connecting different components through a network of etched wiring on non-conductive substrates.
Deutsch: Photoelektron / Español: Fotoelectrón / Português: Fotoelétron / Français: Photoélectron / Italiano: Fotoelettrone
A photoelectron in the industrial context refers to an electron that is emitted from a material (usually a metal or semiconductor) as a result of the photoelectric effect. This phenomenon occurs when photons (light particles) strike a material and transfer enough energy to an electron to overcome the material's work function, causing the electron to be ejected. This concept is pivotal in various applications ranging from scientific instruments to energy production.
Propylgallat, or Propyl Gallate, in the industrial context, refers to an ester formed from gallic acid and propanol. Known for its antioxidant properties, Propylgallat is primarily used as a preservative in foods, cosmetics, hair products, adhesives, and lubricants. Its role in these industries is to prevent oxidation, which can cause spoilage, rancidity, and deterioration of the product's quality and shelf life.
Pyrogallol, in the industrial context, refers to an organic compound with the formula C6H3(OH)3. This white crystalline substance is derived from gallic acid, which is obtained from tannins. Pyrogallol has historically been used in photography and as a reagent in laboratories. In industry, it finds applications due to its properties as a reducing agent, and it's involved in the synthesis of various chemicals and in processes like hair dyeing.
Deutsch: Professor / Español: Profesor / Français: Professeur / Italiano: Professore
