Feedback loops identified in a study could heat the Earth beyond anything humans can control, scientists have found. A team of international scientists, including ones from Oregon State University, ...

Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

When sea ice melts, it can lead to faster warming because water absorbs more heat than ice does. That’s one of more than 25 climate feedback loops found in a recent study from Oregon State University.

It’s hard to escape the reality that the world is not doing well in responding to climate change. According to the most recent United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, global ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

You have to take action to make customer feedback meaningful, and it starts with closed-loop follow-up. As practitioners, we are getting much better at making customer feedback operational. But as we ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) based on the Peltier effect can be used for general cooling, but more often they’re applied to maintain a precise temperature for subsystems and components. And unlike ...
