Scientific TermsSection 2: Technological Devices and Effects
adaptive interface link
Set up to exchange data between alien computer systems.
anodyne capacitor- "The Forsaken"
Kira suggested to Dukat that he speed up the Groumall's phaser recharge time by routing the power through one; Dukat replied that he would do so if he had one.
anodyne circuit- "Return to Grace"
Defective ones make a hissing noise.
antimatter converter- "The Ascent"
Tahna Los stole one from the Cardassians to use in combination with bilitrium to destroy the wormhole.
aphasia device- "Past Prologue"
A device built by Bajoran terrorists and planted on Terok Nor when it was under construction. Its purpose was to release and spread the aphasia virus through the replicators, then through the air. It was meant to be used against the Cardassians, but wasn't triggered until O'Brien repaired a replicator, after the Cardassians were gone.
artificial wormhole- "Babel"
A Trill science team, led by Dr. Lenara Kahn, came to DS9 for field tests on a technique of creating them. The experiment ultimately failed, but a wormhole was created for a few seconds.

Kira used them to try to stop Ilon Tandro and company from passing through the airlock with Dax.
cascade virus- "Dax"
Left by Eddington in the Defiant's computers; he triggered it during a confrontation with Sisko, disabling the ship. Odo removed two more from the computer on DS9.
causal orb- "For the Uniform"
A small powered sphere with a key which one pressed; if it lit up for someone, that person would have incredibly good luck for a time, after which their luck would turn phenomenally bad. Martus took it from Cos when he died, and replicated it into larger versions, which altered probability all over the station, until they were destroyed by Sisko and Dax.
cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber- "Rivals"
A device invented by Dr. Elias Giger, to transmit biogenic energy on a chroma-electric wavelength and send "uplifting and entertaining" messages to the nuclei of one's cells. The purpose was to prevent "cellular boredom", and thus render a person immortal, provided that person spends eight hours a day reclining inside it. Among the components Giger needed were two (or five) liters of anaerobic metabolites suspended in a hydrosaline solution, a neodynium power cell, and two meters of electroplasma conduit. When activated, it gave off highly charged polaric particles, which caught the attention of Weyoun.
CFI replicators- "In the Cards"
12 CFI (Class Four Industrial) replicators were on their way to Cardassia Prime from the Federation, via DS9. Kira said Bajor had gotten only two. With them, Cardassia would be able to build new power plants and factories. The replicators were stolen for the Maquis by Eddington.
chroniton array- "For the Cause"
O'Brien learned from Rom that the reconfigurations he was making, which he was being forced to do by a pah-wraith holding Keiko's body hostage, would turn the station into a massive chroniton array. This would enable it, on a remote signal, to focus a chroniton beam into the wormhole, killing its inhabitants.

A crystal which Tauvid Rem was going to give to Arissa, and which Traidy and Sorm were sent by Draim to obtain. Arissa was unaware that the crystal actually contained memories of her true life as an Idanian agent. Eventually, it was used to restore those memories to her.
data port- "A Simple Investigation"
An implant which allows a humanoid brain to interact directly with a computer system. It goes below one ear; there is another piece which is placed on the computer interface. They are not illegal, but there is a risk in that triggering the wrong security protocol can cause permanent brain damage. Arissa had a data port; she had used it in Draim's employ.
- "A Simple Investigation"
Krole had a data port which O'Brien fixed after it was spiked; he later used it to rob the Bank of Bolias with O'Brien's help.

Longterm Medical Hologram- "The Nagus"
Abbreviated LMH, a hologram, being designed by Dr. Louis Zimmerman. Unlike the Emergency Medical Hologram, the LMH is meant to replace a live doctor, in situations where life support and living space are at a premium and the doctor is not required to leave sickbay. Original plans were for Bashir to serve as the LMH's template, but presumably after the secret of his genetic enhancement was revealed, some other doctor was chosen.

orbital weapon platforms- "In the Pale Moonlight"
The Cardassians deployed hundreds of them in the Chin'toka system. They were unmanned, protected by regenerative forcefields, and were armed with 1000 plasma torpedoes each; they were powered by a remote source on a nearby moon. They became active after the Starfleet/Klingon/Romulan fleet arrived. O'Brien was able to fool the platforms into firing on their own power source, causing them to deactivate.
