Linear threshold units (LTUs) were originally proposed as models of biological neurons. They were widely studied in the context of the perceptron ... Due to the difficulties of finding a general algorithm for networks with hidden nodes, they never passed into general use. 3, record 1, English, - linear%20threshold%20unit

Regarding the advantage of depth, early theoretical results have focused on circuit operations(neural net unit computations) that are substantially different from those being used in real state-of-the-art deep learning applications, such as logic gates... and linear threshold units with non-negative weights... 4, record 1, English, - linear%20threshold%20unit

Le perceptron est l'une des architectures des réseaux de neurones les plus simples[. Son architecture] est formée de deux couches : une couche d'entrée et une couche de sortie. La couche d'entrée représente les neurones d'entrée qui permettent de sortir les mêmes entrées fournies. La couche de sortie représente un type de neurone artificiel différent des autres, appelé «unité linéaire à seuil (ULS)» [...] Chaque neurone ULS est connecté à toutes les neurones d'entrées et aussi à un neurone particulier appelé «neurone de biais» dont la sortie est toujours égale à 1 (neurone de terme constant). 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20lin%C3%A9aire%20%C3%A0%20seuil

Because one of the current-carrying conductors is connected to the earth, there can be situations where small amounts of electricity can flow to complete a circuit through the earth that is below the threshold that will blow a fuse or trip the circuit breaker in the hot wire. This unintentional flow of electricity is what is referred to as "stray voltage. " 4, record 2, English, - stray%20voltage

The insulation monitoring devices of the Vigilohm range are designed to : measure the insulation level of the installation; indicate drops in the insulation level below a user-defined threshold. In addition to these basic functions, the Vigilohm System can automatically locate the faulty circuit.... Insulation monitoring devices inject a DC or low-frequency AC voltage between the installation and earth. The insulation resistance is determined by measuring the resulting leakage current. Vigilohm EM9 devices use an indicator light to signal the presence of an insulation fault within the installation. 1, record 5, English, - Vigilohm%20insulation%20monitoring%20device
