Glossary S
Saccharata if from the Greek word sakcharon, which means the sweet juice from sugarcane.
Zea saccharata refers to a corn plant developed in order to have young ears that are sweet and suitable for eating. Examples are sweet corn, sugar corn, green corn, sweet corn plant, Zea mays rugosa.
Servomechanism has to do with an automatic device for controlling large amounts of power by means of small amounts of power.
In the industrial context, a servomechanism (or servo for short) is a feedback control system that uses a sensor to measure a variable and a control mechanism to adjust an output in response to changes in the measured variable. Servos are used in a wide range of industrial applications where precise control is required, such as robotics, manufacturing, and aerospace.
Some examples of servomechanisms in industry include:
-
Robotics: Servos are commonly used in industrial robotics to control the movement of robot arms and other components. The servos provide precise control over the position and speed of the robot, allowing it to perform tasks with high accuracy and repeatability.
-
Machine Tools: Servos are used in machine tools, such as CNC machines, to control the movement of cutting tools and other components. The servos provide precise control over the position and speed of the cutting tools, allowing for high-quality machining.
-
Aerospace: Servos are used in a variety of aerospace applications, such as controlling the position of flaps and other control surfaces on aircraft. The servos provide precise control over the position and movement of these components, allowing for safe and efficient operation.
-
Automotive: Servos are used in a variety of automotive applications, such as controlling the position of throttle valves and other components in the engine. The servos provide precise control over the position and movement of these components, allowing for efficient operation and reduced emissions.
Some other similar control systems in industry include:
-
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Controllers: These are feedback control systems that use a combination of proportional, integral, and derivative terms to adjust an output in response to changes in a measured variable. PID controllers are commonly used in industrial applications where precise control is required.
-
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): These are digital computers used to control industrial processes and equipment. PLCs can be programmed to perform a wide range of control functions, including servomechanism control.
-
Distributed Control Systems (DCSs): These are systems used to control industrial processes and equipment by distributing control functions across multiple controllers. DCSs are commonly used in large-scale industrial applications, such as power plants and chemical processing plants.

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields. It has a diameter of about 1,392,684 km (865,374 mi), around 109 times that of Earth, and its mass (approximately 330,000 times the mass of Earth) accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.

The soybean (US) or soya bean (UK) is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. The plant is classed as an oilseed rather than a pulse by the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many prepackaged meals; soy vegetable oil is another product of processing the soybean crop.

Deutsch: Sensor / Español: Sensor / Português: Sensor / Français: Capteur / Italiano: Sensore
A sensor is a converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter. For accuracy, most sensors are calibrated against known standards.
