Brakes are some of the most crucial safety components in automobiles. Used to slow a vehicle’s momentum before parking and avoid collisions and accidents, braking systems have undergone rapid development throughout the years. Automobile brakes have evolved from the mechanical drum brakes of the early 19th century...

Power system designers can now benefit from flexibility and the ability to customize electrical parameters by using configurable and programmable power supplies as well as fast and low-cost modifications of the electrical and mechanical properties of standard power supplies.
This white paper explains how, through...
A novel approach for providing microprocessor power directly from 48V is proposed. This solution enables high voltage, low current to be distributed throughout a system, minimizing distribution losses, while providing low voltage, high current direct from the 48V input in the most efficient manner possible.
This solution...
The roots of positive airways mechanical ventilation can be traced to WWII with the needs for pilots to breath at higher altitudes. Ventilation therapy then made accelerated progresses during the polio epidemic in the 50’s.
Today, mechanical ventilation is indicated when a patient's spontaneous ventilation...
Large- and medium-sized enterprises have been widely deploying 10G Ethernet for several years. Their data center infrastructure has been primarily architected around duplex OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber (MMF), since most of the switch port interfaces are multimode 10GBASE-SR using the SFP+ transceiver form factor.
As...
The drive to create Metadata processing server systems plus the parallel push for increased port density and triple-play (voice / video / internet) traffic handling in telecommunication systems places greater demands on power management architectures.
A new architecture is required to optimize processing real...
As system interoperability continuously progresses in mass transportation systems, European authorities are increasingly defining standards for fire safety.
Fire safety is of vital importance in transporation systems, particularly rail systems and Europe has defined the EC/TCS 45545 standard with which mass transit...
This introduction to EPAD MOSFET describes a broad selection of devices with precisely set gate threshold voltage values, including zero threshold made, enhancement mode and depletion mode. Furthermore, novel circuit designs are presented to illustrate how these devices can be used at a practical level. The brief circuit...
Monitoring and managing are becoming ever more important aspects of our modern world. Nowhere is this more important than within buildings where sensors are being deployed to monitor and manage the environment in which we live and work as well as provide security and management of energy usage.
However, despite the...

Utilizing high quality pressure, load, and torque sensors, and selecting the correct design and installation for the application are critical to ensuring data integrity for the measurement system. To be successful, the following information must be understood: the basic operating parameters of pressure, load, and torque...
Today's high reliability military, aerospace, and industrial applications require more rugged, light - weight filter connectors. The filter connector provides a stray signal barrier upstream and away from electronic devices to protect critical circuits from electrical interference, without affecting system function...
TE Connectivity’s new POWER TRIPLE LOCK (PTL) connector solution directly responds to the appliance industry’s desire for increased reliability and functionality, security and ease of use.
The world demand for major household appliances, or white goods, is forecast to rise 3.6% annually through 2015, exceeding...
Modern power distribution systems often contain multiple power sources integrated within one system. A simple variant may be the common double-ended substation, which can be further complicated by additional emergency or alternate sources. This presents significant complexity to the designer attempting to design a protection...
