Pressure transducers, accelerometers, temperature sensors, and linear-position sensors are often imperfect devices, prone to nonlinearities and gain and offset errors. You could spend a lot of time ...

As some of our readers have already noticed, there was a significant problem with the daily sea ice data images on February 16. The problem arose from a malfunction of the satellite sensor we use for ...

The right feedback sensor is a key in motion systems that do what they are supposed to. Incremental disks are simple, having only one track shared by two sensors. The sensors are mounted so their ...

The introduction of inverse feedback and control loops incorporating it was a brilliant advance in the history of engineering, but it was soon followed (probably on that very same day!) by the ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...
