three-phase
subject			fact

three-phase	has number of electrodes 3
	has definition A CCD construction in which three overlapping metal electrodes are used to define a pixel and effect the transfer of charge, in either direction along a column, by the charge-coupling method. If only two electrodes are used then the device is two-phase.
	is a kind of charge-coupled device
charge-coupled device	has acronym CCD
instrument	has operator
artifact	has creator
	has creation date

	has owner
physical object	has location or center of gravity
	has angular momentum
	has mass
	has velocity
	has momentum
	has temperature
	has volume
	has extent
	has material
