Re: Low-Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) Microgrids – Becoming a Reality

Mark Miner — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:34:29 -0000

30% to 40% of the electricity consumed by many electronic devices is now lost just in converting conventional alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Here's a link to my article on Local Direct Current

It looks like selling in the electronic business in Europe, and the changes in the past few years are the same as here in the US. This was a very nice blog, and very true!

Re: “Thunderbolt” — Will the New Blazingly Fast Peripheral Interface be a Blockbuster?

Kienan Harrison — Tue, 24 May 2011 15:33:40 -0000

I am curious to see if Thunderbolt will see adoption on platforms other than Apple products. Especially after the news that Apple is trademarking "Thunderbolt" http://bit.ly/gHj3ib.

Bbrents — Tue, 24 May 2011 15:20:52 -0000

I am looking forward to the high speed offered by Thunderbolt or even USB 3.0. I will be watching my local retailers to see when these products are avialable, hopefully soon.

Re: Li-ion Batteries March into New Markets

Joe Dinkel — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:19:53 -0000

Ty,
As a TE employee, I have been seeing great needs for high-rate discharge protection devices such as you have mentioned in this Blog. You mentioned the changes in cell chemistry in power tools and battery vehicles. The innovative MHP36-30-T Bi-metal Hybrid device, I see on the TE website at http://www.tycoelectronics.... is perfect for the newest 30A@36V type of designs for Li-cells. With this being the first product to be released, I’m sure this and any additional devices that are road mapped for the future which will address additional markets which has even higher currents and voltages. The MHP36-30-T should be a great new product in and very dynamic battery protection environment.

Matt - Can't wait to hear what's new at Motors, Drive and Automation Systems conference. What's going to be the biggest challenge for designers this year? Is it the limited amount of design time or is there some new hurdle that DEs have to contend with? Keep us posted.

This event seems to be one in which I would of liked to visit, I am sure that when it is in europe I will do. LEDs have been around for many years and it is refreshing to see that when we need to innovate to cut energy consumption we find ways to do so.

Re: Dude, Where’s My Charger? The Quest for a Universal Charging Standard

Kienan Harrison — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:33:37 -0000

IEC just published the first globally relevant standard for a universal phone charger a few days ago. Now it's just up to the manufacturers to adopt it.

Re: To E-Waste or Not to E-Waste – That is a question?

Azman Hussain — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:59:03 -0000

A good example of waste management would be car batteries. 95% of the Lead acid batteries used today are using recycled lead from exhausted car batteries. The economist says this has been one of the greatest economic-environmental stories of the past 30 years. Wonder what is store for Li-Ion?

I paid a e-Waste fee when I brought my PC and monitor. Why do I have to pay to have my PC/monitor dispose off? Shouldn't I get my deposit back like a soda bottle?

I work a research about how to protect the electronic devices and circuit from the radiation fileds.

1- by special fabrecation
2- by addeing a compansation element to protect the circuit devices

Interesting and thought-provoking...yet another facet of adapting to our increasingly connected world.

What a great new product. I'm not to surprised the man behind it went to Thunderbird School. I'm going there now and am surrounded by such talented people. Will this new type of battery cost more or less? I had to replace a battery in my golf cart and I felt like it barely lasted, hopefully this new battery will be available when mine dies again.
