Last month, we kicked this series off by showing you how to save some money by diagnosing a bad MAP sensor rather than just chucking cash at new parts that may or may not fix a specific problem. This ...

Accurate optical reporting of electrical activity in genetically defined neuronal populations is a long-standing goal in neuroscience. We developed Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 (ASAP1), a ...

When we got the invitation to tour Bosch's oxygen sensor plant in Anderson, South Carolina, it had all the allure of eating a sand sandwich. Let's face it, oxygen sensors aren't the most glamorous ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

TRPM8, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily, is expressed in thermosensitive neurons, in which it functions as a cold and menthol sensor. TRPM8 and most other ...

This post is in response to a reader who asked about detecting mains electricity using a microcontroller. The easiest and safest way to detect mains electricity using a microcontroller is with an ...

Modern car engine control systems rely on input from several sensors to regulate the engine’s performance as well as its emissions and other vital functions. When these sensors fail to provide ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Modern cars are designed to be more efficient and eco-friendly than ever. Automakers build vehicles with a wealth of advanced features to not ...

The fast-switching speed, high blocking voltage and lower R on [1] of the high voltage SiC MOSFET (>3 kV) for the voltage converters have enabled new applications, thus leading to advantages such as ...
