If you’ve seen a big air-variable capacitor, you may have noticed that some of the plates may have slots cut into them. Why? [Mr Carlson] has the answer in the video below. The short answer: you can ...

Abstract: In this article, a multiphysics modeling methodology is presented for predicting the acoustic noise induced by a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in mobile electronic devices. The ...

Abstract: We propose here a flexible physics-based model to calculate the capacitance and conductance in MIM and MOS capacitors, accounting for traps with different energy and space distributions in ...

Eco-Friendly vehicles have a minimum EPA-estimated mileage of 35 mpg combined and include hybrids, diesels and even a few fuel-sipping gas-only cars. May require specific trim level and/or optional ...
