There’s so many plugins out there that can handle the same tasks slightly differently, but in the eyes of production expert ...

Probe orientation and shielding can separate real buck-regulator output-voltage ripple from radiated switching noise. In many applications, a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) is the only choice because ...

For much of modern psychiatry, the brain has been treated indirectly with medications altering neurotransmitters—serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine—under the assumption that downstream effects will ...

Abstract: Frequency modulation is widely utilized in inductive power transfer systems and is also included in the Qi standard for low-power chargers. This brief examines small-signal modeling and ...

Abstract: A circuit configuration, a circuit topological family, a buck-mode active clamped circuit, and an instantaneous output voltage feedback control strategy of combined bidirectional buck-boost ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Fundamental to all wireless communications is modulation, the process of impressing the data to be transmitted on the radio carrier. Most wireless transmissions today are digital, and with the limited ...

Amplitude modulation (AM) was first introduced to enable long-range wireless audio communication, representing a major advancement over wireless telegraphy using spark-gap transmitters. Understanding ...

This paper explores how diverse forms of inhibition impact firing rates in models for cortical circuits. In particular, the paper studies how the network operating point affects the balance of direct ...

Variable frequency drives (or VFDs) are widely used throughout industry to provide adjustable speed control of ac motors. Although modern versions are relatively simple to install and operate, VFDs ...
