Wells Vehicle Electronics, a brand of UCI-FRAM Group, has added 407 original-equipment quality parts to its emissions, ignition, sensor and switch product lines for domestic and foreign nameplate applications. The new Wells parts include ...
Deployed in commercial buildings and campus microgrids, direct current (DC) power supply equipment reduces the number of required conversions between alternating current (AC) and DC power, thereby increasing overall building energy ...
Fractals—patterns defined by their scale-invariance that makes them look the same on large scales as they do on small scales—are found in nature everywhere from snowflakes to broccoli to the beating of the heart. In a new study, ...
There is a big effort in industry to produce electrical devices with more and faster memory and logic. Magnetic memory elements, such as in a hard drive, and in the future in what is called MRAM (magnetic random access memory), use ...
