A problem which beset early telephone engineers was that as the length of their lines increased, so did the distortion of whatever signal they wanted to transmit. This was corrected once they had ...

The low output voltage level of the analog sensor and the long distance to the control room together constitute significant system design challenges. Here are clues on how to solve them. The 4-20 mA ...

A satellite map of the Gulf of Mexico reveals the “loop current,” a hairpin curve of hotter than usual water that could help grow future Hurricane Helene into a Category 3 storm. University of Miami ...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Gulf Loop Current is a large pool of hot water a couple hundred miles west of Tampa Bay. This hurricane season, it’s looking even more imposing than normal. The loop current ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...

IoT connectivity is a hot topic, but it’s not a new idea, except for the “Internet” aspect. Industrial and some commercial applications have been connecting all sorts of sensors and transducers to ...

Above: Ocean currents in the Gulf of Mexico as depicted by the U.S. Navy HYCOM model on July 21, 2018. Colors represent the speed of the current, in centimeters per second. Dark red colors are ...

With the hurricane season now upon us, experts are saying 2022 could see another above-average year of activity. NOAA is predicting the possibility of three to six major hurricanes. There’s a lot of ...

The Gulf of Mexico oil slick is approaching the Loop Current, a ribbon of ocean water that moves through the Gulf and into the Atlantic Ocean. The Loop Current is a strong flow of warm water and is ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Imagine this scenario: There is a flow meter with 4–20 mA output setup. The switch is flipped, thereby turning it on. Then it is noted that the readings are off, and the required output is not shown.
