For engineers to predict the real-world performance of film capacitors, it’s crucial to understand the electromagnetic and thermal behavior of film capacitors that serve as DC links, filters, and ...

A capacitor, along with resistors and inductors, belongs to a group of components known as passive devices. These components do not produce or amplify energy; instead, they can only store, absorb, or ...

From the May/June 2025 issue of Car and Driver. As good as the batteries of modern electric vehicles are, they still have drawbacks, such as their physical size and heft. Though the cost of EV ...

Researchers have developed a technology for voltage-controlled magnetization switching, which has the potential to be implemented in next-generation computational memory. This advanced technology ...

Capacitive power transfer has been extensively used in short-range applications with power outputs ranging from milliwatts to kilowatts, including EVs, rotating machinery, and biomedical equipment.

Metal-insulator-metal and metal-oxide-metal capacitors popular in analog/RF designs because of their desirable characteristics. By extracting parasitics from your models that are important in your ...

Abstract: This paper presents a sleeve-type capacitive power transfer (CPT) system for contactless rotary applications. Sleeve-type capacitive couplers with different coupling arrangements between ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Abstract: Inductive power transfer (IPT) and capacitive power transfer (CPT) are the two most pervasive methods of wireless power transfer (WPT). IPT is the most common and is applicable to many power ...
