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...

As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) introduce
new technology into vehicles, they need adaptable, futureproof test systems. NI offers a single, software-defined platform approach to automotive test that can natively integrate all the I/O types you need to test today’s and tomorrow’s ADAS technology....



Servomotors are an integral part of today's automation industry, but traditional circular connections prohibit the miniaturization of such motors due to connector size and the need to isolate power from signal lines.
ITT, Electronic Components has developed innovative technology in the CMX connector series...



This paper presents the modeling results for prediction of thermal performance using synthetic jets ejectors. A synthetic jet is an intense, small-scale turbulent jet synthesized directly from the fluid in which it is embedded. A jet ejector consists of a primary high momentum jet inducing a secondary flow within a channel....



Even though the eGaN FET was designed and optimized as a power-switching device, it also exhibits good RF characteristics. The smallest 200 V eGaN FET, EPC2012, was selected for RF evaluation and should be viewed as a starting point from which the RF characteristics of future eGaN FET part numbers can be optimized for...



Most organizations do not consider production test a top priority, but it is a necessity to prevent major quality issues in the products that represent the company brand in the hands of customers.The costs, however, can be significant and are often greatly misunderstood, especially when there’s no...

Albert Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Whether in architectural design, software coding, engineering discipline or even managing people, simplicity is an overriding goal and success is achieved when a product or process is at its maximum simplicity.
Electronic...



CCDs are ideal for very low light imaging applications, such as astronomy, clinical diagnostic testing, and bioluminescence. The compatibility of the CCD with very long integration times, and facility for noiseless on-chip charge binning, makes it a very sensitive imager.
It remains very competitive for certain applications...



A growing market spurs innovation and this JAE white paper focuses on one such innovation in the energy storage systems market: next-generation battery connectors.
In this white paper JAE compares oldstyle battery connectors to today’s newest components –connectors specifically developed for use with...



As the costs for electricity generated by renewables such as wind and solar decrease and ultimately reach the electricity generation costs of conventional power plants, the demand for components with high reliability and high efficiency increases.
Since 1999, Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Maxwell) has consistently been...



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...

This whitepaper includes a review of differential pair properties and how they differ between tightly and loosely coupled pairs. Also a description of test set-up used to look at signal integrity through several different differential pair architectures. The results are then shown and the information is concluded. ...



Optical image stabilization (OIS) addresses the quality of images, and is an idea that has been around for at least 30 years. It has only recently made its way into the low-cost consumer camera market, and will soon be migrating to the higher end camera phones. This paper provides an overview of common design practices...
