Abstract: Planar resistance temperature detector, RTD, can be manufactured with microelectronics processing techniques. However, the manufactured planar resistor requires an extra step for adjustment ...

A capacitor is an essential component in many electrical and electronic circuits. It stores and releases electrical energy when needed, helping regulate voltage and maintain power stability. Over time ...

Clean your thermometer before and after you use it to prevent germs. Most people can get a fairly accurate reading with a good digital or infrared thermometer. Digital thermometers are recommended to ...

A temporal artery thermometer (TAT) measures the heat energy your body gives off in your temporal artery. It's a blood vessel that runs across the middle of your forehead. To use a temporal artery ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

When it comes to water temperature, a lot of us are like Goldilocks: We don't want it too hot or too cold, but just right. What you might not realize is that there are real ramifications for having ...

Abstract: A resistance temperature detector (RTD) with a digital, networked smart sensor signal conditioner was designed and tested. The data format and internal transducer electronic transducer data ...

Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...

Your gaming PC’s graphics card, otherwise known as a GPU, is one of its most important components, and it’s important to periodically check its temperatures to ensure longevity. Temperature is the ...
