What is the grammar term for "-ed" words?

In english we have words like "calibrated" device, "distributed" product, "founded" company, "destroyed" house, and so forth.

They all signify that "A VERB has been "done onto" a NOUN".

What is the term for this grammatical device? Or, what is a single term for "something being done to X" as a characteristic of X?
