Round 10: Tossup 9

This operation is done for a fixed period, then its inverse is done for a variable period in a dual-slope analog-to-digital converter. This operation names a neuronal model proposed by Louis (10[1])Lapicque (“la-PEEK”) that makes no assumption about the shape of action potentials. This operation is the second term in the computation done by three-term control systems. Ideal op-amps (10[1])that implement this operation have a transfer function of the negative reciprocal of RC times s, since this operation in the time domain is Laplace transformed into division in the s-domain. A capacitor performs this mathematical operation to the current, since the charge is equal to this operation with respect to time on the current. (10[1])For 10 points, name this operation from calculus that gives the area under a curve. ■END■
