Optocouplers frequently fail without a sound in labs or during repairs. The package appears to be undamaged, but there may be no output from the LED source or the photosensitive output stage. Testing ...

An established aspect of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) is tuning the nGVS signal to optimize stability on an individual basis. However, conventional tuning methods are strongly ...

We all know how fireworks are lit. It is simple, hold the flame of a lighter close to its wick and the gunpowder does the rest of the magic. However, in this post, I am going to explain how to do the ...

In many designs, a suitable single-function building-block component that functions as the interface between two disparate subsystems plays a critical role. One such class of component is the ...

Objectives: To investigate the ameliorating effects of sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on vestibular compensation from unilateral vestibular deafferentation (UVD) using a mouse model ...

Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an interesting component that uses a compact design within a space of one or two inches and could be easily soldered in the PCB. It is a hot cake in this ...

Basic passive microwave components have a vital role in RF/microwave system design. Despite the apparent simplicity of their functions, their performance is based on electromagnetic theory and Maxwell ...

Editor's note: I (Steve Taranovich) visited Linear Technology Corp. earlier this year and met Bob Dobkin, one of the founders of the company. After interviewing Mr. Dobkin for an article I was writing ...
