With computers and controls, device-level networks, and microprocessor-based motion-control devices, equipment designers can make packaging lines more versatile than ever before. All this flexibility ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Some kinds of optical sensors are blind to conditions that others handle deftly. • Machine builders cannot rely upon a “one-sensor-fits-all” mentality. • Most common sensors today include standard ...

This paper discusses why appliance designers should consider Hall-effect sensor integrated circuits (ICs) for motor control. This document covers several key design characteristics that improve motor ...

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is ...

State energy codes in the United States, which must be at least as stringent as the ASHRAE/IES 90.1-1999 standard, require automatic shutoff of lighting in commercial buildings greater than 5,000 ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Semtech’s SX9376 specific absorption rate (SAR) sensor optimizes RF control while maintaining compliance with global SAR standards for 5G-enabled consumer devices. The IC automatically adjusts ...

There might be a more intuitive way to control robots and drones than waggling joysticks or tapping at a screen. MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a control method, Conduct-A-Bot, that uses muscle ...

Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) is offering to install about 150 air quality sensors at schools, government buildings, and nonprofit organizations throughout Santa Barbara ...
