How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it measures “how much” current is flowing in a circuit; information that may be used for power management in a DC/DC power ...
