A reflective or refractive device that focuses incident insolation onto an area smaller than the reflective or refractive surface, resulting in increased insolation at the point of focus.

A device that merges many low-speed asynchronous channels into one or more high-speed synchronous channels to achieve economies of data transmission.

A synonym for a multi-port repeater that may also perform bridging and routing functions.

A device that brings together at a common center connections to a particular kind of network (such as Ethernet), and implements that network internally.

In data transmission, a functional unit that permits a common path to handle more data sources than there are channels currently available within the path. Note: A concentrator usually provides communication capability between many low-speed, usually asynchronous channels and one or more high-speed, usually synchronous channels. Usually different s [..]

A type of multiplexor that combines multiple channels onto a single transmission medium in such a way that all the individual channels can be simultaneously active. For example, ISPs use concentrators [..]

1. A device that serves as a point of consolidation of network links so that multiple circuits may share common limited network resources. Concentrators are also used in local-area networks (LANs) to combine transmissions from a cluster of nodes. Also called a MAU, multiplexor, hub or amplifier by industry people. 2. A type of multiplexor that comb [..]

A PV module that uses optical elements to increase the amount of sunlight incident on a PV cell. Concentrating arrays must track the sun and use only the direct sunlight because the diffuse portion ca [..]

(module, array, or collector)--An arrangement of photovoltaic cells that includes a lens to concentrate sunlight onto small-area cells. Concentrators can increase the power flux of sunlight hundreds o [..]

A photovoltaic module, which includes optical components such as lenses (Fresnel lens) to direct and concentrate sunlight onto a solar cell of smaller area. Most concentrator arrays must directly face [..]

A system used to concentrate sunlight onto the surface of a solar panel to increase its electrical output.

A plant where ore is separated into values (concentrates) and rejects (tails). An appliance in such a plant, e.g., flotation cell, jig, electromagnet, shaking table. Also called mill; reduction works; [..]

The RSA Concentrator is an appliance and service in the Security Analytics network. Concentrators index metadata extracted from network or log data and makes it available for enterprise-wide querying and real-time analytics while also facilitating reporting and alerting.

A milling plant that produces a concentrate of the valuable minerals or metals. Further treatment is required to recover the pure metal. Confirmation

Machine that removes excess water from grapes to help concentrate the wine.

a collector

A plant where ore is separated into concentrates and tailings.

1. A device that connects a number of circuits, which are not all used at once, to a smaller group of circuits for economy. 2. In data transmission, a functional unit that permits a common path to handle more data sources than there are channels currently available within the path. Note: A concentrator usually provides communication capability betw [..]
