The ‘magic’ of photovoltaic cells 30 April 2024 Everyone knows that solar generation converts sunlight to electricity, but what comprises a solar panel, and how do they actually work?
Analysis of switch-mode power supply: inductor violations 30 April 2024, Altron Arrow, Power Electronics / Power Management Common switch-mode power supply (SMPS) design errors are discussed, and their appropriate rectification is specified, with details on complications that arise with the power stage design of DC-DC switching regulators.
Hardware architectural options for artificial intelligence systems 30 April 2024, NuVision Electronics, AI & ML With smart sensors creating data at an ever-increasing rate, it is becoming exponentially more difficult to consume and make sense of the data to extract relevant insight. This is providing the impetus behind the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence.
Demystifying quantum 30 April 2024 Quantum, often called quantum mechanics, deals with the granular and fuzzy nature of the universe, and the physical behaviour of its smallest particles.
Service excellence with attention to detail 28 March 2024, Deman Manufacturing The vision of industry pioneers Hugo de Bruyn and Charles Hauman led to the birth of Deman Manufacturing, a company that sets new standards for innovation and performance within the industry.
What is an RF connector? 28 March 2024, Spectrum Concepts, Interconnection If you look across the broader electromagnetic spectrum, the selection of the 3 kHz to 300 GHz frequency range for RF signals is a result of a balance between propagation characteristics, data transmission requirements, regulatory allocations, and the compatibility of electronic components and devices.
