I provided some engineering assistance a couple years ago for a company designing photo-voltaic array (PVA) based power inverters. These are sometimes referred to as micro-inverters since they are ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...
