it's almost a monostable circuit... that's what I was thinking at first... but a monostable circuit acts like this: the output turns on when the input turns on, but then is turned off after a short delay and stays off while the input is on, then when the input is off, the output still stays off.
And I read that wiki (from what I understood... my AP Physics teacher didn't teach us electricity too well... he just threw a book at us and said go), and it seems most similar to a monostable vibrator circuit
