Last month, we kicked this series off by showing you how to save some money by diagnosing a bad MAP sensor rather than just chucking cash at new parts that may or may not fix a specific problem. This ...
When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...
This post is in response to a reader who asked about detecting mains electricity using a microcontroller. The easiest and safest way to detect mains electricity using a microcontroller is with an ...
When we got the invitation to tour Bosch's oxygen sensor plant in Anderson, South Carolina, it had all the allure of eating a sand sandwich. Let's face it, oxygen sensors aren't the most glamorous ...
The fast-switching speed, high blocking voltage and lower R on [1] of the high voltage SiC MOSFET (>3 kV) for the voltage converters have enabled new applications, thus leading to advantages such as ...
TRPM8, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily, is expressed in thermosensitive neurons, in which it functions as a cold and menthol sensor. TRPM8 and most other ...
Today’s computerised engine control systems rely on inputs from a variety of sensors to regulate engine performance, emissions and other important functions. The sensors must provide accurate ...
Melexis has added the MLX91231, a shunt-based sensing automotive current sensor for IVT (current, voltage, and temperature) and a digital microcontroller (MCU). The sensor is designed to measure low ...
Figure 1: VSTX1 binds to the KvAP channel with high affinity in lipid membranes and low affinity in detergent micelles. Figure 3: Increase in tryptophan fluorescence of VSTX1 on partitioning into ...
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Modern cars are designed to be more efficient and eco-friendly than ever. Automakers build vehicles with a wealth of advanced features to not ...
The P0118 code means that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a voltage signal that’s too high from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor (below). In practical terms, the ECM believes ...
