High-capacity, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have a property often not well understood by electronic designers: the capacitance of these devices varies with applied DC voltage. This phenomenon ...

Consumers and designers of portable systems increasingly want to know the remaining capacity of their battery as precisely as possible. They also want warnings to signal when to change the battery to ...

For measurements in the mechanical lung model and in the animal experiment, a Bourns Bear Cub infant ventilator (Palm Springs, CA, U.S.A) with a constant-circuit flow was used. The ventilator provided ...

Japanese researchers have developed a system to quickly and easily measure the antioxidant capacity of food. The new electrochemical system uses Bicontinuous Microemulsion (BME), where a mixture of ...

This paper presents a model to estimate the rate of capacity utilization (CU) in the manufacturing sector by state. Consistent measures of state-level CU rates have been unavailable since 1982. The ...

In the reports on vital capacity in the literature, instructions to the patients were not described in detail. In our experience variations in the results of serial determinations were traced in many ...

A method is described for measuring and calculating auditory capacity. The method employs auditory measurements of the ranges of sensitivity in frequency and intensity, and differential measurements ...
