13-letter words containing ube

  • aubervilliers — an industrial suburb of Paris, on the Seine. Pop: 63 136 (1999)
  • bouillon cube — A bouillon cube is a solid cube made from dried meat or vegetable juices and other flavorings. Bouillon cubes are used to add flavor to dishes such as stews and soups.
  • coolidge tube — a cathode ray tube, used for x-ray production, in which a beam of thermoelectrons is produced by heating a wire cathode.
  • down the tube — a hollow, usually cylindrical body of metal, glass, rubber, or other material, used especially for conveying or containing liquids or gases.
  • drainage tube — a tube that drains fluid from an incision or body cavity during surgery
  • electron tube — (electronics)   (Or tube, vacuum tube, UK: valve, electron valve, thermionic valve, firebottle, glassfet) An electronic component consisting of a space exhausted of gas to such an extent that electrons may move about freely, and two or more electrodes with external connections. Nearly all tubes are of the thermionic type where one electrode, called the cathode, is heated, and electrons are emitted from its surface with a small energy (typically a Volt or less). A second electrode, called the anode (plate) will attract the electrons when it is positive with respect to the cathode, allowing current in one direction but not the other. In types which are used for amplification of signals, additional electrodes, called grids, beam-forming electrodes, focussing electrodes and so on according to their purpose, are introduced between cathode and plate and modify the flow of electrons by electrostatic attraction or (usually) repulsion. A voltage change on a grid can control a substantially greater change in that between cathode and anode. Unlike semiconductors, except perhaps for FETs, the movement of electrons is simply a function of electrostatic field within the active region of the tube, and as a consequence of the very low mass of the electron, the currents can be changed quickly. Moreover, there is no limit to the current density in the space, and the electrodes which do dissapate power are usually metal and can be cooled with forced air, water, or other refrigerants. Today these features cause tubes to be the active device of choice when the signals to be amplified are a power levels of more than about 500 watts. The first electronic digital computers used hundreds of vacuum tubes as their active components which, given the reliability of these devices, meant the computers needed frequent repairs to keep them operating. The chief causes of unreliability are the heater used to heat the cathode and the connector into which the tube was plugged. Vacuum tube manufacturers in the US are nearly a thing of the past, with the exception of the special purpose types used in broadcast and image sensing and displays. Eimac, GE, RCA, and the like would probably refer to specific types such as "Beam Power Tetrode" and the like, and rarely use the generic terms. The cathode ray tube is a special purpose type based on these principles which is used for the visual display in television and computers. X-ray tubes are diodes (two element tubes) used at high voltage; a tungsten anode emits the energetic photons when the energetic electrons hit it. Magnetrons use magnetic fields to constrain the electrons; they provide very simple, high power, ultra-high frequency signals for radar, microwave ovens, and the like. Klystrons amplify signals at high power and microwave frequencies.
  • geissler tube — a sealed glass tube with platinum connections at the ends, containing rarefied gas made luminous by an electrical discharge.

  • tuberculation — Also, tuberculated, tuberculose. having tubercles.
  • tuberculinize — to inoculate with tuberculin.
  • tuberous root — a true root so thickened as to resemble a tuber, but bearing no buds or eyes.
  • youtube, inc. — (web, video)   An on-line video file sharing web site, founded on 2005-02-14 by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Anyone can upload video clips to the site and these can then be viewed by others. In 2007, many such sites exist but YouTube is the best known. YouTube is funded by Sequoia Capital. In November 2006, YouTube was bought by Google Inc.. YouTube has partnership deals with content providers such as CBS, BBC, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group, NBA, The Sundance Channel and many more.
