During normal operation, thermal circuit breakers utilize a thermal sensing element (such as bimetal), which deflects when the temperature reaches a predetermined calibration level, causing the ...

Smart clothing might be huge, except for one problem: The printed "ink" electronics are delicate, so you can break them just by stretching the wrong way. However, researchers from the Jacobs School of ...

Let’s face it, breadboarding can be frustrating, even for advanced electronics wizards. If you have an older board, you could be dealing with loose tie points left from large component legs, and power ...

This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

Head, Research and Development Section, Computer Dept. Raytheon Manufacturing Co., Waltham, Mass. MAGNETIC core circuits can be found performing the computer functions of storage, manipulation, ...

They do not depend on temperature as a tripping mechanism, so they often find use where ambient temperatures are high. Their insensitivity to temperature also makes them candidates for protecting ...

Chinese EV maker BYD has disclosed four patents detailing variable-flux permanent magnet synchronous motor technology.

Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) provide powerful tools for conventional circuit analysis (mesh analysis), but if time-varying magnetic fields Ken Yang, Senior Member of the Technical Staff ...

These days when electronic circuits can be found almost anywhere, there is, some people fear*, a different kind of environmental pollution. They call it electrosmog (the word does not appear in any ...
