Throttle Position Sensor Most (TPI) throttle position indicator sensors have extra pins for extra functionality, but for this discussion the three wire design will be discussed. To help explain this, these three leads and their function as it relates to engine and transmission performance are analyzed.
In music, the tonic is the first scale degree of a diatonic scale and the tonal center or final resolution tone. The triad formed on the tonic note, the tonic chord, is thus the most significant chord. More generally, the tonic is the pitch upon which all other pitches of a piece are hierarchically referenced. Scales are named after their tonics, thus the tonic of the scale of C is the note C.
A cadential subdominant chord followed by a tonic chord (the chord of the key of the piece) produces the so-called plagal (or Amen) cadence. Subdominant also refers to a relationship of musical keys. For example, relative to the key of C major, the key of F major is the subdominant. Music which modulates (changes key) often modulates into the subdominant when the leading tone is lowered by a half step to the subtonic (B to B â­ in the key of C).
