| ventricular inhibited pulse generator | A generator which suppresses its output in response to natural ventricular activity but which, in the absence of such activity, functions as an asynchronous pulse generator. Synonym: demand pulse generator, standby pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ventricular synchronous pulse generator | A pulse which delivers its output synchronously with naturally occurring ventricular activity but which, in the absence of such activity, functions as an asynchronous pulse generator. Synonym: ventricular triggered pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |

| motor-generator | <physics> Device used to store energy by accelerating a rotating flywheel to high speeds, energy may be rapidly discharged and converted to shorter-pulse energy. (Used to power TFTR, the electric utility would be a little unhappy if TFTR were to suddenly draw its 30 MW+ of power at random intervals. (09 Oct 1997) |
| X-ray generator | The electronic device that controls production of X-rays in radiography; a key function is rectification of line voltage to produce a smooth direct current voltage to the X-ray tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homopolar generator | <physics> A direct-current generator in which the poles presented to the armature are all of the same polarity, so that the voltage generated in the active conductors has the same polarity at all times. A pure direct current is thus produced without commutation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pulse generator | A device that produces an electrical discharge with a regular or rhythmic wave form in which the electromotive force varies in a specific pattern in relation to time; e.g., in an electronic pacemaker, it produces an electric discharge at regular intervals, and these intervals may be modified by a sensory circuit which can reset the time-base for subsequent discharge on the basis of other electrical activity, such as that produced by spontaneous cardiac beating.

| standby pulse generator | A generator which suppresses its output in response to natural ventricular activity but which, in the absence of such activity, functions as an asynchronous pulse generator. Synonym: demand pulse generator, standby pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| demand pulse generator | A generator which suppresses its output in response to natural ventricular activity but which, in the absence of such activity, functions as an asynchronous pulse generator. Synonym: demand pulse generator, standby pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induction generator | A variable speed multi-pole electric generator. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fixed rate pulse generator | A generator in which the rate of discharge is independent of the natural activity of the heart. Synonym: fixed rate pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |
