Controlling sensori-motor systems in higher animals or complex robots is a challenging combinatorial problem, because many sensory signals need to be simultaneously coordinated into a broad ...

This ultra-simple remote control extender is ideal for use with a hidden video recorder. The recorder is a Panasonic NV-SD200 and is used as part of a camera surveillance system. A PICAXE-08-based ...

Have you ever needed to power a 12-volt relay in a circuit but only had 6 or 9 volts available? This simple circuit will solve that problem. It allows 12-volt relays to be operated from 6 or 9 volts, ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

FPGAs have made significant strides as engines for implementing high-performance signal processing functions, whether for ASIC replacement or performance acceleration in the signal processing chain ...

When I built my LumenLab projector, I used a thermal switch to run the fan. This simple control circuit looks like a nice alternative. The circuit is a simple adjustable temperature triggered Fet. If ...

Any time you are working with burglar alarm, access control, sound, nurse call, or intercom systems, as well as computer networks, lighting dimmer controls, and low-voltage industrial controls, you ...

A simple circuit is a chain of different parts with wires and switches which allows electricity to flow around. All electrical appliances use circuits. For electricity to flow correctly, the circuit ...

How to design a ballast for integrated ballasts in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that provide power factor correction (PFC) as well as normal ballast functions. The ballasts used in integrated ...
