IDG= Intergrated Drive Generator, a generator with a built in CSD to give a constant output at varying engine speeds.

HMU= Hydromechanical Unit......

FADEC= Full Authority Digital Engine Control. It basically controls the engine without the old fashioned cables. It is normally powered by a 28vdc PMA which is also mounted on the gearbox.
