Example sentences

When the circuit is broken, the total energy expended by the emitter would zip down to zero passively, without any control required.

As far as forward throw, the plate is a lambertian emitter.

The biggest difference in implementation looks to be that Transcend is separating the phosphor from the emitter while most LEDs used for illumination bond the phosphor directly to the emitter.

Except for the initial wiring up and flow control (when the emitter of the stream is faster than the receiver), the system is easy to reason with and debug.

First of all, Tritium is an beta emitter, blocked by a piece of paper or the skin.

It's a low-energy beta emitter and, because it mixes quickly and permanently with water, it's eliminated quickly as well.

Signal/noise issues would favor a low power omnidirectional emitter placed near a receiving dish, roughly in the known signal path.

None of this has anything to do with tritium, which is not a gamma emitter.

For example we have `press` to send an infrared signal ("press a button on the remote control"), but that will never throw unless you've forgotten to plug in your infrared emitter.

As soon as there's a reader-device that knows how to passively scan for and "absorb" encountered pubkeys into your keychain, a "signed link emitter in hybrid QR-code/NFC format" would become as commonplace as printed URLs are today, because they'd actually be useful over-and-above URLs.
