Incoming Telephone CallTo receive a telephone call. | |
Independent SuspensionSuspension fitted to each wheel." | |
Indirect InjectionDiesel engine design where fuel is injected into a pre-combustion chamber fitted inside the cylinder head. | |
Induced VoltageNaturally occurring voltage in a conductor when subjected a magnetic flux. | |
InductanceProperty of a coil such that an increase in current causes an increase in magnetism, which in turn tends to prevent the original increase in current. See also Lens's law. | |
Induction1. The drawing in of a gas or fluid. 2. Process of causing an electrical potential in a conductor due to relative movement of a magnetic field. | |
Induction PeriodAn allotted amount of time upon mixing of components for compatibilization. The process is common among the use of epoxy/polyamide coatings. | |
Induction StrokeFirst stroke of four stroke cycle when air and fuel enter the engine as the piston moves down the cylinder. Also known as the intake stroke. | |
Inductive CoilAll coils possess inductance. This is the property that resists changes in current flow. | |
