Central metal tipped insulated spike contacts cable core smaller spikes contact cable shield. Note black mark on cable sheath indicating suitable location for transceiver. A vampire tap also called a piercing tap is a device for physically connecting a node networking station e.g. a computer or printer to a network that uses 10BASE5 cabling. This device clamps onto and bites into the cable hence the vampire name , forcing a spike through a hole drilled through the outer shielding to contact the inner conductor while other spikes bite into the outer conductor. From the vampire tap, a short cable called an AUI Attachment Unit Interface is connected directly from the tap to the network card in the PC. Vampire taps allow new connections to be made on a given physical cable while the cable is in use. This allows administrators to expand bus topology network sections without interrupting communications. Without a vampire tap, the cable has to be cut and connectors have to be attached to both ends. Vampire taps may also be used for malicious purposes such as transparent network monitoring.

Refimprove date September 2007 Bridged tap or bridge tap is a long used method of cabling for telephone lines. One cable pair of wires will appear in several different terminal locations poles or pedestal s . This allows the telephone company to use or provisioning assign that pair to any subscriber near those terminal locations. Once that customer disconnects, that pair becomes usable at any of the terminals. In the days of party line telephony party line s, 2, 4, 6, or 8 users were commonly connected on the same pair which appeared at several different locations. A bridge tap has no hybrid coil or other impedance matching components, just a T or branch in the cable. Thus the bridge presents an impedance mismatch . The unused branch of the T is usually left with no device connected to its end, thus has no electrical termination . Both the tap and its unterminated branch cause unwanted signal reflection s, also called echoes. Digital subscriber line s DSL can be affected by a bridged tap, depending on where the tap is bridged. DSL signals reflect from the discontinuities, sending the signal back through the cable pair, much like a tennis ball against a brick wall. The echoed signal is now out of phase and mixed with the original, creating, among other impairments, attenuation distortion . The modem receives both signals, gets confused and takes errors or cannot Synchronization sync . If the bridged tap is long, the signal bounces back only in very attenuation attenuated form. Therefore, the modem will ignore the weaker signal and show no problem. A bridge tap can also be referred to as a multiple or a telephone pair in multiple . ref Newton s Telecom Dictionary 23rd Edition 2003, Newton, Harry p110 ref Newton s Telecom Dictionary, 23rd Edition 2003 Newton, Harry p110 See also Telephone Loading coil References Reflist External links http www.vonl.com support faq loadcoils.cfm An Introduction to Load Coils and Bridge Taps Category Local loop Category Signal cables ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An ankle tap or tap tackle is a form of tackle used in rugby league or rugby union . It is used when the player carrying the ball is running at speed and a defending player is approaching from behind. Even if the defender is not able to get close enough to the ball carrier to wrap his arms around him in a conventional tackle, he may still be able to dive at the other player s feet and, with an outstretched arm, deliver a tap or hook to the player s foot or feet causing the player to stumble. At speed, this will often be sufficient to bring the ball carrier down.

The tap converter is a variation on the cycloconverter , invented in 1981 by New York City electrical engineer Melvin Sandler and perfected in 1982 through 1984 by graduate students Mariusz Wrzesniewski, Bruce David Wilner, and Eddie Fung. Whereas the cycloconverter switches among a variety of staggered input phases to piece together an extremely jagged output signal, the tap converter synthesizes a much smoother signal by switching among a variety of obviously synchronized transformer output taps. Tap positions Both linear spacing and power of two style Vernier scale Vernier spacing can be employed in establishing the tap positions, e.g. , a four tap transformer can provide taps at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 linear or 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 Vernier . The limitations of the Vernier&mdash in this case, that the maximum obtainable amplitude is 0.9375&mdash are less discernible as more taps are added. Scott transformer By employing a Scott T transformer Scott transformer input connection, in order to provide a quadrature phase , an even smoother output waveform can be obtained. Prototypes Prototypes of the device were constructed and field tested under a variety of conditions&mdash nominally as a variable speed constant frequency VSCF power source for military aircraft&mdash and ornate computer model s were constructed for exploring more ornery see talk page considerations, such as Electric flux flux leakage, hysteresis , and practical thyristor characteristics. All of this work was performed at New York s Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art .

When the coil taps are disconnected, the coil operates as normal see transformer . When a coil tap is connected to one end of the coil or the end disconnected and reconnected to the tap , the section of coil between the tap and its connected end is bypassed effectively reducing the number of turns in the coil.
