Transducer
Transducer
A device that converts one form of energy into another, usually for measurement or control purposes. Think of it as a translator between the physical world and electronic signals.
Closed-Loop Control System
Closed-Loop Control System
A type of control system where the output is fed back to the input, allowing for adjustments and corrections to maintain a desired state.
Bourdon Tube
Bourdon Tube
A device that measures pressure using the deflection of a curved tube. It's like a balloon that expands when pressure increases.
