With the push toward more efficient energy usage, lower carbon footprints and resource sustainability gaining momentum throughout the world, virtually every aspect of energy generation and consumption is coming under…
Mutation testing checks the quality of your test cases. Automated mutation testing is the most important new functionality in the new main version V4.3 of TESSY, the tool for automated…
Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used for power…
As the traditional 2.4 GHz operating band for IEEE 802.11- compliant Wi-Fi wireless local area networks (LANs) becomes more crowded, network administrators increasingly look to the less crowded 5 GHz…
Not a single day passes without major news of data breaches. Whether it is database theft or taking control of systems, with the internet of things, the threats become even…
PV inverters convert the DC power generated by photovoltaic panels into AC power for commercial, domestic, and industrial use. A failure of the inverter stops the supply of power, regardless…
Advanced capacitors based on conductive polymers maximize performance and reliability.
Capacitors may seem simple enough, but specifying them has actually grown more complex in recent years. The reason why comes down…
When implementing technical protective measures (also referred to as “safeguards”) from the hierarchy of controls, as discussed in Part 3 of this series (The Risk Reduction Process Utilizing a Hierarchy…
Today, RandD engineers face challenging time-to-market goals. Extending the product development schedule and delaying the product launch can prove to be extremely costly in terms of opportunity cost and lost…
While trends and world events are shaping what the future will look like, many companies are looking to adapt now so they can continue doing business and get an edge…
Magnetic Hall effect sensors prevail in position sensing applications across a variety of markets. This is a result of the robust, versatile, cost effective and non-contact performance of Hall effect…
A Heat Sink's thermal rating can be effectively improved by increasing air flow over its exposed surface area.
Closed extrusion profiles or so called “chimney” designs can arguably improve convection…
