Variable Frequency Oscillation Generator — n. audio oscillator invented by William R. Hewlett in which the frequency of the oscillations produced can be varied continuously … English contemporary dictionary
Oscillation — For other uses, see oscillator (disambiguation) and oscillation (mathematics). An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a… … Wikipedia
Neural oscillation — is rhythmic or repetitive neural activity in the central nervous system. Neural tissue can generate oscillatory activity in many ways, driven either by mechanisms localized within individual neurons or by interactions between neurons. In… … Wikipedia
Central pattern generator — Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural networks that produce rhythmic patterned outputs without sensory feedback.[1][2] CPGs have been shown to produce rhythmic outputs resembling normal rhythmic motor pattern production even in isolation… … Wikipedia
Clock generator — A desktop PC clock generator, based on the chip ICS 952018AF and 14.3 MHz resonator (on the left) … Wikipedia
Self oscillation — is a term usually used when describing a voltage controlled filter of an analog synthesizer. Self oscillation occurs when the resonance or Q factor of the filter is set so high as to cause the filter circuitry to generate a tone on its own after… … Wikipedia
Hunting oscillation — The classical Hunting oscillation is a swaying motion of a railway vehicle caused by the coning action on which the directional stability of an adhesion railway depends.Below a certain critical speed, the motion is damped out, above this speed… … Wikipedia
Colpitts oscillator — Early schematic of a Colpitts circuit, using a vacuum tube, redrawn from the patent publication. A Colpitts oscillator, invented in 1920 by American engineer Edwin H. Colpitts, is one of a number of designs for electron … Wikipedia
