Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

Inductance in IC interconnects is becoming increasingly significant for designs operating at GHz frequencies. The damping effect of high resistance in narrow signal wires in sub 0.13um designs reduces ...

Research in Motion has filed for a patent for a touchscreen that combines the technology behind resistive and capacitive touchscreen displays. The scren would use a dual layer resistive panel, but the ...

Many industrial/instrumentation applications today involve sensory measurement techniques. The function of the sensor is to monitor changes in the system, and then feed this data back to a main ...
