In many instances of microcontroller firmware design, it's necessary, or desirable, to take four individual bytes and access them as if they were a single 32-bit variable, maybe as a pair of 16-bit ...

In the latest episode of IP Practice Vlogs, it’s time for another design patent practical exercise. We previously did a design exercise on patenting Apple’s AirPods. This time we are going to patent ...

Cleanrooms are one of the most energy intensive facilities per square foot. Most cleanroom airflows are determined by industry-accepted air change rates and airflow velocities. Typically, cleanroom ...

Variable fractional delay (VFD) filter design has become increasingly significant in digital signal processing, offering the flexibility to delay signals by non-integer amounts. This technology is ...

Fluid typography uses responsive scaling to ensure readability on both small and large displays, while variable fonts allow multiple weights, widths, and styles to be included within a single file.

This reference design outlines the process, design considerations and all the needed components in obtaining a high-variable output voltage for managing the power of a printer. The design illustrates ...

Programmable-gain amplifiers (PGAs) are actually a subset of variable-gain amplifiers (VGAs). Widely used in wireless communications, industrial scanning, radar, ultrasound, and speech-analysis ...

The Telam CVT has both forward and reverse rotation as well as a geared neutral inherent in the design, making it what’s called an infinitely variable transmission (IVT). July 7, 2011 6 min read The ...
