The latest microcontrollers featuring field-oriented control bring higher efficiency to motor-control circuit designs in consumer ...

Because the wiring and the inputs and outputs (I/Os) are the most vulnerable elements in a system, be sure to locate and identify these elements in the problem circuit. Sometimes, the only way to test ...

Locomotion is a complex motor act that, to a large degree, is controlled by neuronal circuits in the spinal cord. Using a systems neuroscience approach in several model systems of non-limbed and ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

Higher Capabilities for Safety-Rated Control Circuits A truly reliable safety control system must work even when some parts fail. Force-guided relays are unseen components that add another level of ...

In a twist on nontraditional uses of ultrasound, neuroscientists have developed pulsed ultrasound techniques that can remotely stimulate brain circuit activity. The findings provide insights into how ...

Tighter integration The cryogenic quantum control platform developed by David Reilly at the University of Sydney. (Courtesy: Fiona Wolf/University of Sydney) Researchers in Australia say that they ...

We are going to end our latest trilogy of LTSpice simulations with another demonstration of the powerful computing capabilities of this SPICE software in the field of NTC thermistor temperature ...

Although it is common knowledge that their efficiency is poor, Peltier thermoelectric elements are considered the most versatile cooling elements; they are used in a wide range of applications, such ...
