Tired of loud TV ads? In 2012, Peter de Bruijn built the Mini-Mute — a clever circuit that let him mute his TV with a simple ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental evaluation of neutron damage in phase shifter circuits (i.e., Microwave Integrated Circuits, MIC) utilizing pin diodes as switches. In addition, the ...

A timer-controlled doorbell device has been developed using two 555 timer ICs in monostable mode, combined with a relay ...

Here’s a clever hack. Simple, elegant, and eminently cost-effective: using an SMD capacitor to hold your flash media in place ...

In a hard-to-articulate way, it’s somewhat comforting to know that even in our world of highly integrated, multifunction ...

Trace the evolution of PC graphics buses from IBM’s ISA to the current industry-standard PCIe and uncover how these ...

In this brief, we designed, constructed, and analyzed a frequency-tunable metamaterial resonator. The proposed design consists of an S-shaped resonator, a ground frame, and a feeding transmission line ...

The need for more input/output (I/O) connections was a big driver in package evolution. Think about it: a chip with a million ...
