These days Lithium-ion batteries are gaining more attention due to their widespread application in Electric Vehicles, Power backups, Mobiles, Laptops, smartwatches, and other portable electronic goods, etc. a lot of research is happening on lithium batteries with the increased demand for electric vehicles for much better performance. One important parameter that decreases…
Embedded system is the heart and core of most electronic products available in the market. It’s the implementation of engineering in which hardware meets the software. We are surrounded by a world of embedded systems, with mini-computers in biometric door locks, airplanes, cars, pacemakers, etc. These resources constrained, small, smart and powerful systems help us in our…
Nearly 4.18 trillion kWh of electricity were generated in the United States at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in 2018, and around 17% was generated from renewable sources. The statistics recently published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration state that approximately 67 billion kWh of the total electricity generated in the country last year were…
Amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the convergence of technology with various production processes, including supply chain and logistics, has become an indispensable part of doing business today. Businesses are voicing the need for tools to further enhance supply chain visibility and traceability, defining a new way to do amplify profits in the Information Age.…
Human lifespan has exponentially increased in recent times and is expected to go up to 80 years till 2050. One of the most important factors based on which the age graph has increased is the involvement of Information and communications technology (ICT) in the health care sector is continuously increasing, giving rise to a major innovation in various medical devices and…
AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) can be defined as a common platform for the whole automotive industry that is designed to enhance the scope of application for vehicle functionality without affecting the current operating model. AUTOSAR is basically an open and standard software architecture which was jointly developed by automobile manufacturers, suppliers…
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…
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…
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…
