Running a nuclear power plant isn’t an easy task, even with the level of automation available to a 1980s Soviet RBMK reactor.

Its back panel and app harbours a lesser-known trick: the ability to act as a digital-to-digital converter (DDC), ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an absolute positioning method for distance encoding by fusing reference signals with incremental signals. Reference marks with extinction characteristics are embedded in ...

Abstract: Precise speed measurement is mandatory for high-performance electric drives such as machine tool spindle drives. The most accurate method for incremental position encoders at high speeds is ...

In today’s automation landscape, there’s a critical junction where servo motors meet driven components, and it’s here that system performance either soars or stumbles. Flexible beam couplings have ...

FAULHABER is expanding its product range with the ultra-precise incremental encoder IERF3 L. Thanks to the optical measuring principle and state-of-the-art chip technology, the device offers the ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup spun off of Hong Kong high-frequency trading firm High Flyer Capital Management (and which uses a whale icon for its logo), is back today with a new large language ...
