• Hydraulic hybrids are picking up
  by not using HLA to increase acceleration. Hybrids also eliminate idling, a major consideration for line-haul and service trucks. An electrichybrid system can supply the energy for all of the "hotel load" used in sleeper-cabs. Right now, the energy is supplied by idling the diesel. An idling diesel...
• Interfacing the KXP94 or KXR94 Tri-Axis Accelerometer with the Texas Instruments MSP430F149 Microprocessor to Measure Tilt and Other Motions (.pdf)
  This application report describes how to integrate the Kionix KXP94 or the KXR94 tri-axis accelerometer with the MSP430F149 to capture and utilize the motion sensing capabilities of the accelerometer. Example code is provided for capturing and using tilt sensing, vibration sensing and acceleration...
• Smart Computing Article - Memory Burn
  . Internal video capture cards are more difficult to install, and having all of the input connections on the back of the PC isn t usually convenient. But many internal cards support hardware-accelerated video conversion, which is vastly superior to software-based conversion. With hardware acceleration...
• Low Frequency Response and Quasi-Static Behavior of LIVM Sensors
  Low Frequency Response - The ability of a sensor to measure very low frquency sinusoidal or periodic inputs (pressure, force and acceleration) with accuracy. This ability is best characterized by a graph of sensitivity vs. frequecy with input amplitude held constant. Dytran Tech Education Article 3...

  shock-absorber damping. The adaptive variable suspension (AVS) has sensors gathering information from acceleration, steering, braking, and road surfaces. The information is used to continuously adjust the shock absorbers and maintain a smooth ride. A suspension-control ECU gathers the vertical...

  structure to join front and rear-suspension hard points. The forkless chassis makes efficient use of space while reducing mass. The bike operates much like today's hybrid automobiles. The electric motor handles torque demands during acceleration and passing. An internal combustion engine handles cruising...

  magnet can deliver absolute position information as well as velocity information while in motion. How Magnetostrictive sensing works. Magnetostrictive position sensors are essentially sonicwave sensing devices. A high-resoluiton clock measures the time a sonic wave takes to travel the distance between...
