An electrode that collects electrons or ions which have completed their functions within an electron tube; a collector receives electrons after they have done useful work, whereas an anode receives electrons whose useful work is to be done outside the tube. Also known as electron collector.
A class of instruments employed to determine the electric potential at a point in the atmosphere, and ultimately the atmospheric electric field; all collectors consist of some device for rapidly bringing a conductor to the same potential as the air immediately surrounding it, plus some form of electrometer for measuring the difference in potential between the equilibrated collector and the earth itself; collectors differ widely in their speed of response to atmospheric potential changes.
A device designed to absorb radiation from the sun and transfer this energy to a fluid which passes through the collector.
One side of a bipolar transistor. When the base is pulsed, current flows from the emitter to the collector, or vice versa depending on the design. See drain.

Others, such as collector Ortiz, note that source countries maintain warehouses and storerooms filled with thousands of uncatalogued antiquities, many of which are just "rotting away.
Another factor in determining collector status is frequency of use.
For less picky collectors, however, the floaty is like having a world inside a pen.
It is a common practice to seed a new set of bags or cartridges in the collector prior to placing the unit in service.
The requirements of FDCPA are: (i) the debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt and (ii) the debt collector must inform the debtor within five days after the initial "communication" of the amount of the debt, that the debtor's failure to dispute the debt within thirty days will cause the debt to be assumed to be valid ("validation notice") and (iii) the debt collector must disclose that in attempting to collect the debt, any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
These wounds can't compare, however, to the tribulations the dinosaur has suffered since fossil collectors first dug it up in August 1990 on land owned by a South Dakota rancher named Maurice Williams.
Fortunately, the collector discovered his stamp's absence before the vacuum cleaner's bag was emptied, and there the stamp was found, considerably the worse for wear.
