Video Games
Armed with the Master Sword, the silent protagonist Link journeys across the kingdom of Hyrule in this Nintendo franchise.
The Legend of Zelda
Abbreviated AC, this type of electric current periodically reverses direction, unlike the unidirectional flow produced by chemical batteries.
Alternating Current
Extending from the hip to the knee, this longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the human skeleton supports substantial weight loads.
Femur
Set in the underwater city of Rapture, this 2007 immersive sim asks players to survive Splicers and harvest genetically altering ADAM from Little Sisters.
BioShock
This two-terminal semiconductor device typically exhibits a roughly 0.7-volt forward threshold when made from silicon, allowing current to conduct primarily in one direction.
Diode
This major dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs contracts downwards during inhalation, expanding the thoracic cavity.
Diaphragm
In Fallout, this retro-futuristic wearable computer mounted to the protagonist's wrist manages inventory, status, and local maps.
Pip-Boy
This circuit theorem states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources can be replaced at terminals A–B by an equivalent single voltage source in series with a resistor.
Thévenin's Theorem
n this 2011 puzzle sequel, players navigate Aperture Science testing chambers with the help of Wheatley and the sarcastically hostile AI GLaDOS.
Portal 2
While clipper circuits trim off portions of an input waveform above or below a threshold, these diode-and-capacitor circuits shift the entire AC signal to a different DC level without distorting its shape.
Clampers (or clamping circuits / DC restorers)
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt of Rivia tracks down this "Lady of Space and Time," his adopted daughter of Elder Blood pursued by spectral riders.
Ciri (Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon)
This two-port parameter matrix represents a network by expressing input voltage and output current in terms of input current and output voltage, making it especially useful for modeling bipolar junction transistors.
