Round 11: 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 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[3])that implement this operation have a transfer function of the negative reciprocal (10[1])of RC times s, since this operation in the time domain is Laplace transformed (-5[1])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 (-5[1])to time on the current. For 10 points, (10[1])name this operation from calculus (10[1]-5[1])that gives the area under (10[2])a curve. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
