Soft meters and AI models help manufacturers track energy intensity per unit, cutting costs without hurting output.

This application note describes a closed loop, computer- controlled, variable attenuator for the control of output power from a tunable laser. It is based on the combination of a 1/2 wave-plate and a ...

In programming, a variable that keeps track of the number of iterations of a process. Its value is incremented or decremented with each iteration, and it is compared to a constant or other variable to ...

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

A variable-speed drive (VSD) is used to drive a motor at variable speed. The main parts of a VSD are The control system of the VSD adjusts the output voltage and frequency so that the ratio of voltage ...
