Air Quality Indexes (AQIs) are used to measure the concentration of pollutants like particulate matter and other harmful substances in the air outside.
Cody Endlich, MacroFab's head of strategic sourcing, discusses counterfeit PCBA parts and their impact on electronic builds, and how MacroFab has managed a zero percent failure rate for nonconformity or counterfeit parts.
It is common for electrical devices to be rated under both systems, which provide comprehensive protection while meeting various global standards. But do you know how they are the same, and how they differ?
Sensor and actuator networks are systems that collect and transmit data from a physical environment for digital processing. Data is collected at sensors and actuators in the field, then digitized at the sensor or actuator. The digitized data can be used for a variety of applications, and the method for data processing depends on the application
In the ever-evolving world of processor architectures, the showdown between RISC-V and ARM sparks fervent competition. With their distinct histories, these two giants are redefining computing power and igniting discussions on openness, customization, and innovation in microprocessors.
In this episode, we discuss the accidental discovery of how amputees can sense temperature in their phantom limbs and how EPFL researchers have exploited this to develop the first generation of prosthetics that can feel.
