Specific Energy - The ratio of the energy output of a cell or battery to its weight (Wh/kg). This term is used interchangeably with gravimetric energy density.
Fourier theorem - Theorem stating that any non-sinusoidal periodic function (frequency f) may be represented as a sum of terms (series) made up of - n a sinusoidal term with frequency f, called the fundamental frequency, n sinusoidal terms with frequencies that are whole multiples of the fundamental frequency, (harmonics), n a possible DC component where n is a whole number. n = 1 corresponds to the fundamental, n > 1 to the harmonic of the nth order.
Interference (high-frequency) - High-frequency parasitic current that is either conducted (electrostatic origin) or radiated (electromagnetic origin) by a device.
Desorption - The opposite of absorption, whereby the material retained by a medium or another material is released.
Noise level - Acoustical decibel level of a source of noise, measured according to the applicable ISO standard.
Earthing system IT - Earthing system in which the neutral is isolated from the earth or connected to the earth via a high impedance and the various exposed conductive parts are connected to the earth via individual earthing circuits. An alarm must signal the appearance of a first insulation fault. The installation must be de-energized immediately in the event of a second insulation fault.
ISO 9002 - Standard defining procedures and systems used to attain an internationally recognized level of production quality. ISO 9002 certification is proof that the quality system effectively complies with the standard. Certification is carried out by an official organization (AFAQ), unaffiliated with either clients or suppliers or the company itself, and is valid for a three-year period with yearly audits and checks.
