“Monitoring surgical wounds after an operation is an important step to prevent infection, wound separation and other complications. However, when the surgical site is deep in the body, monitoring is normally limited to clinical observations or costly radiological investigations that …
News STMicroelectronics Brings Ease and Flexibility to USB Power Delivery with Digitally Programmable Synchronous Buck Converter
“Featuring a synchronous topology for optimum efficiency, the STMicroelectronics STPD01 DC/DC buck converter is digitally programmable for USB Power Delivery (PD) applications up to 60W. With a wide input-voltage range of 6V to 26.4V, the STPD01 offers flexibility …
“Researchers at the University of Adelaide and their overseas partners have taken a key step in making quantum batteries a reality. They have successfully proved the concept of superabsorption, a crucial idea underpinning quantum batteries. “Quantum batteries, which use quantum …
“The dirt tends to get stuck to the rover’s wheels in clods, but hasn’t hindered the rover yet. The farside of the Moon is a far different place from the nearside. It has a more rugged surface, chock-full …
“The laws of physics underlying everyday life are, at one level of description, completely known, and can be summarized in a single elegant — if quite complex — equation. That’s the claim physicist Sean Carroll, an SFI Fractal Faculty member and …
“Test and measurement engineers can save months of design time by eliminating the need for custom ASICs and simplifying front-end designs Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced the industry’s widest-bandwidth high-input-impedance (Hi-Z) buffer amplifier, capable of supporting frequency …
“New device is suited for high voltage automotive batteries. Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched “TLX9160T,” a normally open (NO) 1-Form-A photorelay suited for high voltage automotive batteries. Housed in an SO16L-T package, the new device is …
News Toshiba Releases Photorelays Featuring Low Input Power and High Operating Temperature Suitable For Smart Meters
“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched two photorelays, “TLP223GA” and “TLP223J,” with an OFF-state output terminal voltage rating of 400V and 600V, respectively. They both feature low input power, improved switching characteristics, and are housed in a …
“Researchers at PSI have compared the electron distribution below the oxide layer of two semiconductors. The investigation is part of an effort to develop particularly stable quantum bits –and thus, in turn, particularly efficient quantum computers. They have now published …
“By shaking an optical lattice potential, researchers in Cambridge have realized a discontinuous phase transition in a strongly correlated quantum gas, opening the door to quantum simulations of false vacuum decay in the early universe. Phase transitions are everywhere, ranging …
