Deutsch: Verstärker / Español: Amplificador electrónico / Français: Amplificateur êlectronique / Italiano: Amplificatore
An electronic amplifier, amplifier, or (informally) amp is an electronic device that increases the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply.

In the industrial context, an axis refers to a line or direction around which a part or component rotates or moves. In manufacturing and engineering, understanding the axis of an object is important for proper positioning, alignment, and control of the object's movement.

In the industrial context, an absorber is a device or system used to remove or absorb a particular substance or gas from a mixture or stream. The substance or gas is absorbed into a different material or medium, typically for further processing or treatment.

In the industrial and industry context, Android refers to a mobile operating system developed by Google. Android is used in a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

In organic chemistry, amines (Usual prefix: Amino) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are formally derivatives of ammonia (NH3), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group[4] (these may respectively be called alkylamines and arylamines; amines in which both types of substituent are attached to one nitrogen atom may be called alkylarylamines).

The substituent –NH2 is called an amino group.

An application programming interface (API) is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. A document or standard that describes how to build or use such a connection or interface is called an API specification.

In the industrial context, "auto" is a short form of "automobile" or "automotive" which refers to the manufacturing and production of vehicles that are designed for transportation on roads. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, production, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles.
