  • Optical binary switch and amplitude modulator micromirror arrays
    To achieve a time- varying drive signal with a sufficient magnitude (at least 70% of the maximum operating dc voltage) to evaluate the reliabil- ity of the micromirrors, a variac and power transformer with dual, 12 - volt , 24-volt and 48-volt … wave rectifier load consisted of a set of three, series-connected, 1-watt resistors (16 kfl, 39…
  • Less is More: Measure of Chloride Removal Rate from Wrought Iron Artifacts During Electrolysis
    Current to each cell was supplied by an encapsu- lated, non-regulated, 12 volt , 0·5A DC rectifier (Figure 1). .... The rectifier output was reduced by con- necting a 115/120 volt AC variable resistor between it and current from the outlet.
  • Design and Testing of a Device To Introduce a Lag-time Treatment Between the Inflow and Outflow Hydrographs of a Sedimentation Basin
    The ultrasonic sensor required 12 V DC and output a variable 4-20 mA signal. .... The current was passed through a resistor that was sized to produce a voltage drop ranging from 0-5 volts .
  • Autonomous Unmanned Ground Robotic Vehicle Competition: an intelligent control challenge
    The steering system consisted of a rack and pinion mount, linked to the cart Pitman arm and driven by a 12volt dc motor. .... The speed system con- sists of six car batteries, linked in series with motor current control through the variation of a dropping re- sistor .
  • High Throughput Optical Sensor Arrays for Drug Screening
    In the laboratory, spin coating was accomplished using a small 3.0 Volt DC motor. .... A variable resistor was used in series with the motor armature to control shaft speed. .... A rough diagram of the spinning setup is shown in Figure 12 .
  • Characterization of energy harvesting potential of Terfenol-D and Galfenol
    Power is provided to the bias coil via two 12 volt car batteries in series with a rheostat ( variable resistor ). .... This setup was used in lieu of a DC power amplifier to ensure that no AC noise…

  • Third-order intermodulation in a micromechanical thermal mixer
    Finally, high dc biases, sometimes on the order of 100’s of volts [11], render the method of actuation incompatible with low supply voltage processes. .... Thermal–mechanical transduction relies on a heat source such as a laser [ 12 ] or a resistor [3] to produce localized thermal variations on the order of 1 K, which in turn generate detectable mechanical displacement in a thin-film resonator.
  • Use of solar photovoltaic powered fans to reduce peak temperatures in outdoor cabinets
    Each card contained five 4-watt resistors and was tied into the 115- volt ac service through a switch. .... The total heat within the cabinet, Q,, was thus variable from 0 to 1000 watts in increments .... A nominal 12 -volt (&volt to 14-volt range), 6-watt dc Rotron Muffin fan was mounted above the top of each of the two mounting frames, midway between the two sides.
