#automatic
- Actuator — A mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic device or component within an automated system that converts a form of energy (electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic) into controlled physical movement. This structural element acts as an execution motor, receiving signals from a control unit to manipulate or adjust a mechanism in reality.
- AID — An international polysemantic acronym. In economics and global assistance, it designates the 'Association Internationale de Développement' (International Development Association - a member of the World Bank Group). In medicine, it stands for 'Artificial Insemination by Donor', and in transport or aerospace engineering, it defines structural digital assistance or Automatic Incident Detection systems.
- Antifeding — An orthographic variant or secondary graphic fluctuation in Romanian for the technical term 'antifading'; a property or circuit capable of compensating for radio signal intensity fluctuations. Although modern standards recommend 'antifading', the form with 'e' survives in older engineering papers.
- Subjugated — Having been brought into a state of dependence, subordination, or bondage; deprived of freedom of action and structural autonomy. In a technical or cybernetic sense, it describes a mechanism, system, or device whose operation (speed, position, parameters) is rigorously controlled and automatically guided by a main command element called a master.
- Aspectomat — An automated technical apparatus or device used in the past for the successive projection of slides, filmstrips, or static images onto a screen, often equipped with a timed frame-changing system and remote control, utilized for educational, advertising, or exhibition purposes.
- Astatic — Being in a state of neutral equilibrium, lacking a fixed position of stability, or unaffected by external directive forces such as terrestrial magnetism. In electronics and automatics, it describes a system or regulator that exhibits no steady-state error relative to the reference value, continuing to modify its parameters until the error is completely eliminated.
- Astatic (fem.) — The feminine form of the adjective 'astatic'; it characterizes a physical entity, an electrical variable, a control loop, or a casing that is in neutral equilibrium or exhibits no steady-state error; in automatics, it can refer to an astatic characteristic of a motor or relay.
- Astatization — A technical process or structural method through which an oscillating system, a measuring instrument (such as a galvanometer or seismograph), or a regulator is brought into a state of astatism; this operation cancels or minimizes the elastic or gravitational restoring force, causing the system to remain in equilibrium regardless of its position or considerably increasing the device's sensitivity to external perturbations.
- Automatic repeal — The automatic and legal expiration or termination of the validity or applicability of a temporary, exceptional, or criminal law, occurring as a result of reaching the exact deadline set ab initio within its regulatory text or with the cessation of the special conditions that prompted its adoption, without requiring the issuance of another repealing legislative act.
- Automatic reclosing — An automatic process or maneuver executed within power protection systems whereby a circuit breaker, disconnector, or power line taken out of service due to a temporary fault (short circuit, atmospheric overvoltage) is automatically reconnected to the network after a preset time interval, without the manual intervention of the operating personnel.
- Self-cancellation — The act of self-canceling or its result; a process whereby a deed, document, command, contract, or digital session automatically loses its validity, legal force, or effect due to the expiration of a deadline, non-compliance with a suspensive condition, or the activation of an internal clause, without requiring additional external intervention. In a philosophical or psychological sense, it represents the negation, sacrifice, or suppression of one's own interests, values, or personality by an individual.
- Autoband — A technical term or neologism used in automation, telecommunications, or signal processing to designate a self-adjusting frequency band, an automatic transmission channel selection system, or an automated conveyor belt. In electronics, it can describe a circuit that automatically adjusts its bandwidth based on signal quality.
- Auto-calculated — Computed automatically by an electronic system, algorithm, or software script, without manual user intervention. In digital data processing, it describes a metric, value, or database field whose final results are derived instantly by applying preset mathematical formulas to raw input data.
- Auto-captured — Collected, gathered, or retained automatically and independently by an installation or system equipped with autonomous regulating mechanisms. In resource management, it describes a fluid or energy volume already stored via automated sensors.
- To self-copy — To autonomously, automatically, or through internal mechanisms create a faithful copy or an exact replica of one's own structure, a document, or a dataset, without the direct intervention of an external factor. In biology, the term describes the molecular process of self-replication of genetic material, whereas in technology and computer science it refers to software systems or mechanical devices capable of cloning or multiplying their informational structure.
- Automatic copy — A faithful copy or exact duplicate of a document, text, or dataset, produced automatically by a technical device or through the intrinsic chemical properties of the writing medium, without the manual intervention of an external operator. It represents the direct result of a structural self-replication or instantaneous chemical transfer process.
- To self-trigger — To go into operation, start, or activate automatically or autonomously on its own, as a result of meeting a predefined condition, an internal impulse, or a sensor detecting an external stimulus, without the manual intervention of an operator. In engineering, it describes the structural behavior of safety systems, alarms, or shutter mechanisms.
- Self-triggering — The act of self-triggering and its result; an automated or mechanical process through which a system, device, weapon, or software program activates autonomously, as a result of detecting an external stimulus or meeting an internal logical condition, without external manual intervention. This structural mechanism is vital for the operation of safety systems, sensors, and cameras.
- Self-triggered — Having triggered, started, or activated on its own, automatically and independently, without the manual or direct intervention of an external operator. The term describes the structural state of a mechanism, algorithm, or electrical circuit that went into operation upon receiving a predefined impulse or following an anomaly.
- Self-detachment — The act of self-detaching and its result; an automated or mechanical process through which a component, module, rocket stage, or auxiliary system separates autonomously from the main body, as a result of a preprogrammed electronic impulse or upon reaching critical physical parameters, without the manual intervention of an operator.
