An industrial control network is a system of interconnected equipment used to monitor and control physical equipment in industrial environments. These networks differ significantly from traditional enterprise networks due to…
Two key factors in maximizing power converter performance and successful power system design are thermal environment and heat management. Power densities are increasing faster than power converter efficiency,thus increased performance…
This paper introduces a new DC/DC power supply architecture, called “Yeaman Topology”. The main characteristic of this topology is to separate the output voltage regulation function from the bulk power…
While every business strives to ensure uptime and availability for customers, operators within the utilities space have additional regulatory and monitoring requirements that must be adhered to as well. For…
The Internet of Things (IoT) has nearly eclipsed the splendor of “big data”—in fact, it's enveloping big data into a much larger, more promising concept. And to prepare for IoT,…
For a computer system to recognize a memory module, the module needs to have a chip on it that communicates the specifications of the module to the system. A system's…
When undertaking machine safety activities, it is always important to have a clearly structured process to be used as a guideline. With such a process in place, it is easier…
One of the fundamental decisions in the design of data centers, server rooms and network closets is which uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to use.
You cannot be certain that the…
In the evolution to advanced 3G and 4G services, wireless service providers are taking fiber to the top of the tower. Next-generation, fiber-fed architectures are quickly becoming the new norm…

When an electrically-driven machine starts, it may require very high current from the power supply for a short period of time. The result of this current is often an unacceptable…
In the early 90's, it was suggested that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were in the process of becoming extinct and considered to be ‘technological dinosaurs'. The prediction is not entirely…
