`Introduction
`
`Since the first editien in 1941 ef the American Standard Definitiens ef Electrical Terrns. the werk new
`knewn as IEEE Std 100. The IEEE Standard Dictienary ef Electrical and Electrenics Terms. has evelved
`inte the unique cempendium ef terms that it is today.
`
`The current editien includes all terms defined in appreved IEEE standards threugh December 1996. Terms
`are categerized by their technical subject area. They are alse asseciated with the standards er publicatiens
`in which they currently appear. In seme cases. terms frem withdrawn standards are included when ne
`current seurce can be feund. Earlier editiens ef IEEE Std 100 included terms frem seurces ether than
`IEEE standards. such as technical jeurnals. beeks. er cenference preceedings. These terms have been
`maintained fer the sake ef censistency and their seurces are listed with the standards in the back ef the
`heck.
`
`The practice ef defining terms varies frem standard te standard. Many werking greups that write standards
`prefer te werk with existing definitiens. while ethers cheese te write their ewn. Thus terms may have
`several similar. altheugh net identical. definitiens. Definitiens have been cembined wherever it has been
`pessible te de se by making enly miner editerial changes. Otherwise. they have been left as written in
`the eriginal standard.
`
`Users ef IEEE Std 100 eccasienaliy cemment en the surprising emissien ef a particular term cemmenly
`used in an electrical er electrenics field. This eccurs because the terms in IEEE Std 100 represent enly
`these defined in the existing er past bedy ef IEEE standards. Te respend te this. serne werking greups
`ebtain autheriaatien te create a glessary ef terms used in their field. All existing. appreved standard
`glessaries have been incerperated inte this editien ef IEEE Std 100. including the mest current glessaries
`ef terms fer cemputers and pewer engineering.

`
`consecutive sequence computer A type of computer in which
`instructions are executed in an implicitly defined sequence
`unless a jump instruction specifies the storage location of the
`next instruction to be executed. Contrast: arbitrary sequence
`computer.

`
`consecutive spill method See: linear probing.
`
`conservation of radiance {fiber optics} A basic principle stat-
`ing that no passive optical system can increase the quantity
`,tJ-r2 where L is the radiance of a beam and n is the local
`refractive index. Formerly called “conservation of brightness“
`or the “brightness theorem.“ See also: brightness; radiance.

`
`conservator {expansion tank system} {power and distribu-
`tion transformers} A system in which the oil in the main
`tank is sealed from the atmosphere. over the temperature
`range specified. by means of an auxiliary tank partly filled
`with oil and connected to the completely filled main tank.
`{PE} C5?.lZ.fifl-19'lfir
`
`conservatorldiaphragm system {power and distribution
`transformers} A system in which the oil in the main tank is
`completely sealed from the outside atmosphere. and is con-
`nected to an elastic diaphragm tank contained inside a tank
`mounted at the top of the transformer. As oil expands and
`contracts within a specified temperature range the system re-
`mains completely sealed with an approximately constant
`pressure.

`{5} A device used as the primary means of communication
`with a human being. consisting of an input device. used for
`receiving information supplied by the human. and an output
`device. used for sending infon'nation to the human. {Typi-
`cally. a console is either an ASCII terminal connected to a
`serial port or the combination of a textr‘graphics display de—
`vice and a keyboard.)
