  "term": "Debounce",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "To eliminate spurious electrical signals generated by mechanical switches as their contacts make and break connection. When a switch is pressed or released, the contacts can bounce, causing multiple rapid transitions between states. Debouncing circuits or algorithms filter these transient signals, providing a single, stable input to a digital system, often implemented with RC filters or software delays.",
