Scientists have observed high-speed switching in Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 thin films under applied rectangular electric field pulses. Unlike the slow ferroelastic domain switching expected for ceramics, ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...

What does a simple cascaded conveyor system look like? How to integrate a conveyor system using only the digital capabilities of modern variable frequency drives (VFDs). Simplifying the automation ...

Most modern vehicles come with two transmission speed sensors, which are responsible for monitoring the input and output shaft speeds of the transmission. These sensors send information to your car's ...

High-speed CMOS image sensors are available in several types for a variety of markets, for use in general purpose, high end or custom high-speed cameras. Such cameras can be used for applications like ...

Piezo micro electro mechanical systems (piezoMEMS) are miniaturized devices exhibiting piezoelectricity, i.e., the appearance of an electric charge under applied mechanical stress. These devices have ...
