The LM27402 is a synchronous voltage mode DC/DC buck controller with inductor DCR current sense capability. Sensing the inductor current eliminates the need to add resistive powertrain elements which increases overall efficiency and facilitates accurate continuous current limit sensing. A 0.6V ±1% voltage reference enables high accuracy and low voltage capability at the output. An input operati...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have a great deal of attention due to their unique properties. These properties of SWCNTs can be used in various devices such as nanosensors. SWCNTs nanosensors have fast response time and high sensitivity to special gas molecules which is very favorable for important applications. Recently, gas adsorption over outer surface of SWCNTs nanosensors was argu...

Business agility has been considered as one of the key organizational capabilities in the modern business environment. The current research indicates that information technologies (IT) can help firms develop agility and in turn agility can improve firm performance, but how IT leads to agility and superior performance and under what circumstances is an ongoing consideration. In particular, while...

Optical remote sensing systems operating on the principle of differential absorption have been employed since the mid-1970s for measuring airborne species. Multiwavelength sensing approaches, such as differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and differential absorption and scattering (DAS), are used for single (or a few) species detection boasting high sensitivity and long path detection capability....

Wideband spectrum sensing capability can be enabled in GNU Radio, which is an open source software radio platform. In order to improve the detection performance of GNU Radio in practice, we studied its approach of wideband spectrum sensing, i.e., multistep frequency-domain energy detection. We first gave a detailed analysis of the functions and implementation details in its wideband spectrum se...

Wheeled-tracked vehicles are mainly suitable for relatively flat terrain. Legged-vehicles, on the other hand, have the potential to handle wide variety of terrain. Robug IIs is a legged climbing robot designed to work in relatively unstructured and rough terrain. It has the capability of walking, climbing vertical surfaces and performing autonomous floor to wall transfer. The sensing technique ...

Emerging sensor network technology interconnects spatially distributed sensing devices deployed to monitor and interact with the surrounding physical world [?], [?], [?]. Each device (node) in the network senses a limited neighborhood using one or more of its modalities. A single node, however, cannot often sufficiently characterize the physical world due to its limited sensing capability and r...

Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) combine sensing, signal processing, decision capability, and wireless networking capability in a compact, low power system. Among countries, border protection is a sensitive issue and measures are being taken to improve security at the borders. In addition to physical fencing, smart methods using technology are being employed to increase the alertness of security ...
