Passive components – resistors, capacitors, inductors, and connectors – usually don’t get a lot of consideration until late in the design, but they are vital elements of a functioning circuit, ...

I get somewhat annoyed when I hear engineers who have some real-world experience or exposure casually dismiss a component, especially a passive one, as “simple.” It may be simple in concept or ...

[Lucid Science] shows us how to make some simple reed switches. Reed switches are simple components that detect a magnetic field and can close or open a circuit once detected. While not really a thing ...

166 pp., $29.95 (paper), ISBN 0-201-70851-5. With few exceptions (and this is not one of them) in computing, the word, "simple" should only be applied with some form of a "relative-to" qualification.

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

Despite the availability of FPGAs and microcontrollers, the historical use of analog circuitry to implement some arithmetic functions is still a viable and cost-effective technique. For the division ...

Simple Energy aims to alleviate these concerns with its advanced engineering. Simple Energy, India's leading electric and clean energy start-up, has announced the launch of its Simple Protect and ...

Bathroom accessories serve various functions, especially when it comes to hygiene, organization and practicality. Previously thought of as purely functional components, designed only to perform their ...
