When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

When it comes down to energy management, having real-time data is key. But rarely is up-to-the-minute kilowatt hour information given out freely by a Utility company, which makes it extremely hard to ...

Decoding the workings of voltage-gated sodium channels is crucial because their mutation leads to severe disease and their activity is modulated by toxins and drugs. An innovative approach now allows ...

Genetically encoded voltage sensors are coming of age, but their use still poses challenges that must be addressed from multiple angles. Neurons process information with the help of electrical signals ...

There is a basic method for measuring high-frequency power using a power meter and power sensor (Fig. 1). The power sensor converts high-frequency power to a dc or low-frequency signal that the power ...

Energy meters have gone through several changes with respect to design and functionality in the last decade. A variety of improvements such as lower cost, increased accuracy, tamper detection, less ...

Most residences and commercial buildings in the United States currently use an old-style electromechanical utility power meter to track electricity use. The meters are reliable and cheap but ...
