batería externa; cargador portátil; batería portátil: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión inglesa "power bank", que alude al dispositivo portátil que permite cargar la batería de diversos aparatos electrónicos, tiene alternativas en español como "batería externa" o "cargador portátil". [...] Una opción extendida en el uso es "batería externa", que describe con precisión la naturaleza del aparato: una batería que se sitúa fuera del dispositivo principal. Por otra parte, "cargador portátil" destaca la función principal y la facilidad de transporte, por lo que es una alternativa también válida, al igual que "batería portátil". 1, record 1, Spanish, - bater%C3%ADa%20externa

Electronic pocket dosimeter.... Small, light-weight portable radiation measurement apparatus provides accurate quantitative measurement of radiation dosage and dosage rates. Such apparatus, referred to as a dosimeter, is housed in a ruggedized housing that is only about 1/2 the volume of a package of cigarettes, may easily be clipped to clothing or carried in a shirt pocket, and is powered by a conventional alkaline AA-sized battery. Included in the housing are a geiger tube for detecting radiation, a high voltage power supply for providing power to the geiger tube, a counting circuit for counting geiger pulses generated by the geiger tube, a microprocessor circuit for processing the geiger pulses in accordance with a prescribed program to determine the dose or dosage rate to which the geiger tube has been exposed, and a digital display that displays the dosage rates thus determined. 2, record 4, English, - alarm%20pocket%20dosimeter
