Most NAND Flash based 2.5” SSDs have RAM caches for high IOPS, the contents of which take multiple write cycles (written to flash) to store safely. One of the disadvantages of this scheme is that the extra RAM memory and supercaps add to the physical space, cost and unreliability of the product (compared to Swissbit...



Wireless technology has been used in industry for many years and has provided reliable communications for monitoring and controlling remote processes, including mission-critical applications.
Understanding the capabilities and limitations of the various technologies will allow users to realize the benefits of wireless...



To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...



As new technologies, capabilities, and manufacturing equipment come into play, the prototyping phase validates the functionality of a new product.

While CCX has been an overwhelming success in the laptop world, few medical devices carry the Cisco Compatible seal. Medical devices that incorporate Wi-Fi radios from Laird Technologies have passed all tests for CCX V4 and earned the Cisco Compatible seal.
That seal gives OEMs confidence that the devices interoperate...



To create a successful application, manufacturer interchangeability can certainly be an important advantage. However, what is clear is that maintaining this advantage is linked to conditions that have to be met but are only defined when setting up an application.
By contrast, the development of machine vision components...



An increase in the demand for energy worldwide has driven the search for alternative primary sources of energy, even to the most remote locations of the globe. Natural gas, one of the leading alternative energy choices for fueling industries today, is considered the cleanest burning fossil fuel with minimal environmental...



Effective control of noise and vibration, whatever the application, usually requires several techniques, each of which contributes to a quieter environment.
This paper will focus on the methods of structural damping and vibration isolation, which deal with reducing structural vibration.

As system interoperability continuously progresses in mass transportation systems, European authorities are increasingly defining standards for fire safety.
Fire safety is of vital importance in transporation systems, particularly rail systems and Europe has defined the EC/TCS 45545 standard with which mass transit...



The large variety of motor technologies and corresponding control schemes available today to the design engineer and the dramatic pressure to reduce development time in industrial projects have created the need for performant design tools which allow to realise, already at a level of preliminary simulation, the complete...
