This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When it comes to linear motion, engineers often face two choices: voice-coil actuators (VCAs) or solenoids. Both are ...

This Design Idea shows how tocalculate the inductance of amultilayer air-core coil using only itsdimensions and resistance. If you knowthe dimensions and the number of turnson an air-core coil, you ...

A voice coil actuator, also known as a non-commutated DC linear actuator, is a type of direct drive linear motor. The name “voice coil” comes from one of its historically first applications: vibrating ...

Eukaryotic transcriptional repressors function by recruiting large coregulatory complexes that target histone deacetylase enzymes to gene promoters and enhancers. Transcriptional repression complexes, ...

Work coils, also referred to as the inductor, are a part in an induction heating system. Their purpose is to indicate whether a work piece has been heated effectively and efficiently. There are ...

Heat initiates the internal combustion process. Diesel engines utilize the temperature buildup from extremely high compression (pressure) to ignite the air/fuel mixture, with a little help from glow ...
