Industry 4.0 is the fancy name given to the fourth Industrial revolution. In this article, we will discuss about what is Industry 4.0 and how is it going to enhance the future of Industries? Why such a buzz about it? Why failing to adopt it may kill your business? Let us take a look. It is sometime spelled as Industrie 4.0, this is the German translation of Industry so both…
Unless some Tony Stark steps in and invents the Arc reactor or the research in Solar Power Satellites (SPS) for wireless Energy transfer gets through, we humans have to depend on Batteries for powering our portable or remote electronic devices. The most common type of rechargeable batteries that you find in consumer electronics is either Lithium ion or of Lithium Polymer…
Operational Amplifiers or Op-Amps are considered the workhorse of Analog Electronic Designs. Back from the Analog computers era, Op-Amps have been used for mathematical operations with analog voltages, hence the name operational amplifier. To date, Op-Amps are extensively used for voltage comparison, differentiation, integration, summation and many other things. Needless to…
Solenoids are simple components that can be used for various applications. The name solenoid is derived from the Greek word “Solen” which means a channel or a pipe. Solenoids are used in both domestic and industrial equipments, they are available in various designs, each of them has their own specific applications. Although the application changes, their working principle…
Most of us would have commonly noticed the terms “Patented, patent-pending, patent applied for” written on the goods, products or devices that we buy. Have you ever tried to dig deeper into the meaning of these terms, ever thought why the manufacturer or maker of the product is mentioning it, what is its sole purpose?

You might be tempted to dismiss the good old tube as a relic of the past – after all, how can a few pieces of metal in a glorified light bulb hold up to the transistors and integrated circuits of today? Although tubes lost their place in the storefront of consumer electronics but they still remain insignificant use where there is need for a lot of power at very high (GHz…
Today, electronic devices have shrunken in size than ever before. This enables us to pack in tones of features in compact portable devices like smart watches, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices, it also helps us to deploy remote IoT devices for cattle monitoring, asset tracking etc. One common thing among all these portable devices is that they are battery operated…
RF Engineering is one of the most interesting and challenging parts of Electrical Engineering due to its high computational complexity of nightmarish tasks like impedance matching of interconnected blocks, associated with the practical implementation of RF solutions. In today’s age with different software tools, things are a bit easier but if you go back to the periods…
Power line Communications (PLC), also known as Power Line Telecommunications (PLT) is the communication technology which uses the existing public and private wiring for the transmission of the signals. Using PLC communication signals, high-speed data, voice and video are transmitted over low-voltage power lines.
PLC…
Optical Fiber Communication is the method of communication in which signal is transmitted in the form of light and optical fiber is used as a medium of transmitting those light signal from one place to another. The signal transmitted in optical fiber is converted from the electrical signal into light and at the receiving end, it is converted back into the electrical signal…
There are many wireless devices working across the world which makes the people’s life easy and comfortable in many ways, but all these wireless devices are needed to be charged again and again to use them. But what if, we can use the same radio frequency that transfers data, to charge the devices. This technology would reduce or omit the use of batteries for powering the…
Certification is usually one of the most expensive and tedious stages during the development of a new hardware product. It helps the authorities to know that the product adheres to all the laid down laws and guidelines around the functions. This way, the performance of that particular product can be assured to prevent hazards, and harm to its users. As tedious as this stage…
