Electropedia
The World's Online Electrotechnical Vocabulary
CN-DE-ES-FR-JP-PL-PT-RU-SA-SE-UK

Electropedia (also known as the "IEV Online") is the world's most comprehensive online electrical and electronic terminology database containing more than 20 000 terms and definitions in English and French organized by subject area, with equivalent terms in various other languages: Arabic, Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish (coverage varies by subject area).

Electropedia is produced by the IEC, the world’s leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies - collectively known as "electrotechnology". Electropedia contains all the terms and definitions in the "International Electrotechnical Vocabulary" or "IEV" which is published also as a set of publications in the IEC 60050 series that can be ordered separately from the IEC webstore.

The world’s experts in electrotechnical terminology work to produce Electropedia under the responsibility of IEC Technical Committee 1 (Terminology), one of the 175 IEC technical committees.

IEC (W3)

The "IEC" is the world's leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies - collectively known as "electrotechnology".

Wherever you find electricity and electronics, you find the IEC supporting safety and performance, the environment, electrical energy efficiency and renewable energies.

The IEC also manages conformity assessment schemes that certify that equipment, systems or components conform to its International Standards.

Die "Internationale elektrotechnische Kommission" (engl. "International Electrotechnical Commission", kurz: "IEC") ist ein internationales Normierungsgremium mit Sitz in Genf für Normen im Bereich der Elektrotechnik und Elektronik. Einige Normen werden gemeinsam mit ISO entwickelt.

Chronik griffbereit
Die wichtigsten Erfindungen der Menschheit
Geniale Ideen, die die Welt veränderten

Kurzbeschreibung
Ob wir das Licht einschalten, in die U-Bahn einsteigen oder eine E-Mail schreiben - kluge Einfälle haben technische Dinge hervorgebracht, die zu vielen Erleichterungen im Alltag geführt haben. Erfindungsreichtum und Forscherdrang haben zahlreiche Errungenschaften hervorgebracht, die das Leben des Menschen im Lauf der Jahrhunderte stark verändert haben.

Dieser informative und unterhaltsame Band der Reihe Chronik griffbereit stellt über 200 wichtige Erfindungen vor, die die Entwicklung der Menschheit stark vorangetrieben haben.

James, Peter
Thorpe, Nick
Keilschrift, Kompass, Kaugummi
Die illustrierte Enzyklopädie der frühen Erfindungen

Vieles von dem, was man aus dem Stegreif für Errungenschaften der Moderne halten würde, gab es so oder ähnlich bereits in der Antike: Das Kaugummi etwa war schon bei den alten Maya beliebt, in Byzanz schlug man Invasoren mit Flammenwerfern in die Flucht, und die Römer verfügten über ganz eigene Methoden der Empfängnisverhütung. Mit ihrer ebenso erstaunlichen wie lehrreichen Zeitreise begeben sich die Autoren dieses Bandes auf Spurensuche kreuz und quer durch die Menschheitsgeschichte und werden nicht nur in den Hochkulturen fündig - denn schon in der Steinzeit wusste man sich zu helfen.
