Feed-forward headsets typically are more easily developed because the design engineer usually does not have to deal with stability issues. A major drawback of this topology, however, is wind noise, since the ANC microphones are directly exposed to the ambient. An alternative that overcomes this drawback is the use of a...

Macro-scale energy harvesting technologies in the form of windmills, watermills and passive solar power systems have been around for centuries. Now, as designers seek to cut the cords, they turn to microenergy harvesting systems that can scavenge milliwatts from solar, vibrational, thermal and biological sources.

Flash memory is commonly used to store firmware in embedded systems. Occasionally, the firmware stored in the Flash memory in some systems is accidentally corrupted, preventing the system from booting up after power-on. Flash corruption is commonly associated with a software bug. However, it is also commonly understood...
