Today's smartphones' fingerprint sensor in display technology represents the latest evolution in mobile fingerprint security, offering in screen fingerprint sensor capabilities that were once limited to flagship devices. As a result, these sensors are primarily used for smartphone security these days.
The cutthroat competition in the…
As the name suggests, Clipper circuit is used to “clip” a portion of input signal without distorting the remaining part of the waveform. It is a wave shaping circuit. This can be very useful in the circuits where the input signal attains a higher value of voltage than the expected one. These circuits can be implemented in various ways according to the configuration or…
Thinking about a Low Power Long Range IoT solution??! Then probably you would have heard about the wireless radio technology called LoRa. LoRa allows your devices to communicate to long distance without using much power, making it suitable for battery operated remote devices like GPS Tracker, Asset Monitoring etc. With more designers getting into the IoT bandwagon the…
An average household microwave oven operating at 110/220V AC can produce upto 2800V inside it, which is dangerously lethal. Besides that it also has a lower level AC voltage around 3.5V to light up the filament and a regulated DC voltage like 5V/3.3V for the digital electronics part like the display or timers to operate. Have you ever wondered…
Braking is one of the important aspects of a vehicle. The mechanical braking system which we use in our vehicles has a big drawback of wasting the kinetic energy of the vehicle as heat. This brings down the overall efficiency of the vehicle by affecting the fuel economy. In the urban drive cycle, we tend to start and stop the vehicle more often when compared to highway drive…
With the electronics buzz towards IoT, Machine to Machine Communication and Connected devices, design engineers are on constant hunt to find a sublime mode of communication technique to exchange information between two electronics device. While there are already a lot of options to select from like BLE, NFC, RFID, LoRa, Sigfox etc, a company called Chirp has developed an SDK…
On a fine morning you are crossing the road to reach your office on the other side, just when you are half the way through you notice a driverless piece of metal, a robot, advancing towards and you get into a dilemma deciding on to cross the road or not? A strong question presses your mind, “Did the car notice me?” Then you feel relieved when you observe that the speed of…
Indian Government along with the automobile sectors is trying hard to achieve their realistic goals of having 30% Electric vehicles on road by the year 2030. Despite the subsidies and regulations made by the government this doesn’t seem to work so far because EV’s on Indian roads have not received much appreciation from public in general. Looking for the reason, everything…
Nowadays, the world is shifting towards electrified mobility to reduce the pollutant emissions caused by nonrenewable fossil-fueled vehicles and to provide an alternative to pricey fuel for transportation. But for electric vehicles, travelling range and the charging process are the two major issues affecting their adoption over conventional vehicles. Wireless charging…
Maxwell equations are the fundamentals of Electromagnetic theory, which constitutes a set of four equations relating the electric and magnetic fields. Instead of listing out the mathematical representation of Maxwell equations, we will focus on what is the actual significance of those equations in this article. The Maxwell’s First and Second equation deals with static…
To explain in simple words a Transimpedance amplifier is a converter circuit which converts the input current to a proportional output voltage. As we know when current flows through a resistor it creates a voltage drop across the resistor which will be proportional to the value of current and the value resistor itself. Here, assuming the value of resistor to be ideally…
The statistics are alarming: In the United States alone, household leaks waste about 900 billion gallons of water each year. To put that number in perspective, that’s enough water to supply about 11 million homes annually. And other countries – from Europe to Asia – face similar challenges. Compounding this problem are anticipated water shortages.
