For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a running band that provides feedback to users with temperature and vibration. This provides an unique way to monitor running habits with temperature feedback. The running band attaches to a user’s upper arm and counts the number of steps the user takes. It then determines whether or not …

Ever dreamt of controlling an appliance like a CFL or a fan at your finger tips and thinking for a cheap solution? Well, then you are looking at the right instructable!! This instructable will provide you with a cheap and best possible solution to control your switch operated appliances through an existing IR remote using …
I found simple and cheap ”Latching Momentary Switch” circuit When the circuit is powered up, all of the transistors are off and stay off. C1 gets pulled up to Vp. When the switch is pushed, Q3 and Q2 turn on, since their base is pulled up. Q1 and Q4 are in turned on as well. …
Is there an appliance in your house that you wished could be turned on easier? That hard to reach light that you need every day or a fan? With the LinkIt ONE we can do just that! Specifically we can control an AC appliance with a remote control! There are many different appliances around the …
Researchers have created a high voltage and high frequency silicon carbide (SiC) power switch that could cost much less than similarly rated SiC power switches. The findings could lead to early applications in the power industry, especially in power converters like medium voltage drives, solid state transformers and high voltage transmissions and circuit breakers. Researchers …
The MAX14777 quad SPST switch supports analog signals above and below the rails with a single 3.0V to 5.5V supply. The device features a selectable -15V/+35V or -15V/+15V analog signal range for all switches. Each switch has a separate control input to allow independent switching, making the device an alternative to opto-relays in applications that …
