EngineeringComponent |
A fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an element of a Device that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identity.

天線 | A CommunicationDevice which enables or improves the reception of RadioEmissions by another CommunicationDevice (the radio or television receiver). |
| | 電台 | A BroadcastingStation is an engineeringSubcomponent of either a TelevisionSystem or a RadioStation. |
| | 通訊電台 | Relatively low power broadcasting devices designed for voice communication among specialized groups in which each receiver also has the power to transmit, unlike broadcast radio where most components transmitting or receiving on a given frequency or set of frequencies are receivers only. This includes unlicensed walkie-talkies, public safety radios, military communication systems and CB radios. |
| | 通信衛星 | A CommunicationSatellite is an ArtificialSatellite that serves as one engineeringSubcomponent of a CommunicationSystem. |
| | DataDisplayDevice | An instance of DataDisplayDevice is a Device intended to be used to display data information in some visual form (e.g., Images or visible LinguisticExpressions). |
| | 傳真機 | A FaxMachine is a TelephonyDevice that scans a paper page and transmits a coded image of the page over a TelephoneSystem to a receiving FaxMachine, which decodes the coded and image and prints a replica of the original. A typical FaxMachine is made up of a scanner, a printer, a modem, and a control panel with some sort of status display. |
| | 主要電話線 | A MainTelephoneLine is one engineeringSubcomponent of a TelephoneSystem used for voice communication or computer data transfer. |
| | 麥克風 | A CommunicationDevice that converts sound into electrical energy. |
| | 投影屏幕 | A CommunicationDevice upon which images are projected so that they can be viewed. |
| | 接收器設備 | An ElectricDevice that is capable of receiving and decoding RadioEmissions, e.g. Radios and Televisions. |
| | 電報 | A Device that permits LinguisticCommunication between remote points by means of a code of aural dots and dashes that can be converted into letters of an alphabet. |
| | 電話 | A Telephone is a CommunicationDevice that enables LinguisticCommunication between nodes in a TelephoneSystem by converting sound into electrical signals that are then transmitted. When the signals are received, they are converted back into sound. |
| | TelephonyDevice | A TelephonyDevice is a CommunicationDevice that, when connected to a TelephoneSystem, functions as an access point allowing end users (Humans or other Agents, such as autonomous/scheduled ComputerPrograms) to send or receive signals via the system. Telephones and FaxMachines are TelephonyDevices. A given Computer may or may not function as a TelephonyDevice, depending on the ComputerPrograms it runs and the ComputerComponents that are part of it. |
| | Telex | Telex is a Telegraph-like CommunicationDevice that is used to send messages over a TelephoneSystem. |
