Nuclear Fusion
ÚFusion
Nucleon
Collective name for ÚNeutrons and ÚProtons, two subatomic particles building an atomic
ÚNucleus.
Nucleon Number
ÚMass Number
Nucleus
The nucleus is a component of an ÚAtom, carrying the majority of the net mass and an electric
charge that is equal to the charge of all ÚElectrons that orbit the nucleus. A nucleus consists
of ÚNeutrons and ÚProtons, which are therefore also called ÚNucleons.
Nuclide
A nuclide is a ÚNucleus with a speciied number of protons and neutrons, that is, having spe-
ciic nuclear properties.
Nuclides are speciied by the name of the chemical ÚElement which implies the ÚAtomic
Number and the ÚMass Number, for example,
40
18
Ar or
40
19
K. Where sub- and superscripting
are not possible or too challenging, nuclides are often written as Ar-40 or K-40.
OBEX
ÚOBject EXchange
OBject EXchange (OBEX)
A communications protocol for the exchange of binary objects between devices. It is main-
tained by the Infrared Data Association but has also been adopted by the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group and the SyncML wing of the Open Mobile Alliance.
Also known as: IrOBEX
Pairing
A mechanism to establish a trusted connection between two devices communicating via Blue-
tooth requiring user interaction only during the irst connection of two particular devices.
PAN ÚPersonal Area Networking
Particle Radiation
A type of ÚRadiation, whose emission components carry a inite rest mass. ÚAlpha Radiation
and ÚBeta Radiation are examples for Particle Radiation.
PE ÚPolyethylene
Peak The place where a function or a measurement (or a graphic rendering thereof) is higher than
in the close vicinity (Figure 242, p. 274).
Also known as: Local Maximum
