The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

The design challenges for a high-power electronic load extend beyond the electronics. The best electronic load circuit will not function well without a good connection to the device under test. The ...

A digital weigh scale is one of the most precise analog instruments. Weigh scales, which use force sensors to measure the load offered by an object, are used in a multitude of applications ranging ...

The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

When the new ANSI A92.20 design standard is published, it will usher in many new requirements for MEWP manufacturers. Many of the new requirements may be unseen by users and operators, but a few will ...
