How do brains turn environmental inputs into motor outputs? This question, known as the “black box” problem, has left ...

Figure 1: Testing the role of premotor circuits in sensory learning in songbirds. Figure 2: Optogenetic disruption of neural activity in the pupil's HVC during tutoring impairs copying. Figure 3: ...

Explains electric current, highlighting that it originates from a battery and requires a complete circuit to flow. It compares electric current to water flowing through pipes, using meters to ...

One maintenance task that’s often overlooked is the monitoring of harmonics in motor circuits. Typically, high harmonic content goes unnoticed until someone decides to investigate power quality as a ...

While troubleshooting the cause of a motor failure, you discovered a phase imbalance of 5% at the motor leads. Now what? You need to find and fix the cause, but where do you start? Begin by ...

Microcontrollers may dominate today’s stepper motor projects, but there’s a charm in driving them with pure CMOS logic. Try ...

The PCA146x series devices are CMOS integrated circuits specially suited for battery-operated, quartz-crystal-controlled wrist-watches, with a bipolar stepping motor. The motor output delivers pulses ...
