Definition : Electric devices that consist of two or more coils usually wound around a magnetic core and that are coupled by mutual induction. Most transformers are used to change the voltage of an alternating current (e.g., step-up and step-down transformers). The ratio of the voltage on each coil is proportional to the number of turns, while the ratio of the currents is inverse to the number of turns. Some transformers are used for other purposes, such as isolation between the coils (e.g., primary and secondary windings) or for impedance transform.
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example: default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
Definition : Implants intended for reconstruction and/or replacement of fibrous bands of tissue connecting bones and/or supporting internal organs (i.e., ligaments) or connecting bones to muscles (i.e., tendons). These implants may consist of biological autografts or allografts usually taken from cadaver donors (e.g., quadriceps, Achilles or patellar tendons) or made of synthetic polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, carbon fibers, or silicone elastomers.
