IGBTs and Solar Inverters

IGBTs are excellent choices for use in solar inverters where voltage from a solar panel array on a residential or commercial building is converted from direct current to alternating current at a specific voltage output and frequency. IGBTs, like MOSFETS, use voltage rather than current as a means of control, with current applied across their […]

Characteristics of the IGBT

IGBTs or integrated gate bipolar transistors to give them their full name are semiconductor components with highly specific uses. They are similar in a way to power transistors but have significant differences in the way they are controlled. Power transistors are controlled by the amount of current flowing across their base in contrast to IGBTs […]

The Correct Way For Computer Recycling

In today’s world computers account for a large part of the electronic rubbish and can have a harmful toll on the environment so this is why it is necessary to do computer recycling correctly. When talking about computer recycling this includes all parts of the computer such as the monitor, the tower, the keyboard, etc. […]

IGBT Performance Reaches New Levels

IGBTs (Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistors) have now been around for 30 years or so and have played a very useful role in their capacity as a key component in power switches, particularly at high voltages. However, the use of IGBTs has been eclipsed somewhat by power MOSFETs for applications where the switching frequency is at […]

What is Dolby?

Dolby Laboratories, Inc., often shortened to Dolby Labs, is an American company specializing in audio noise reduction and audio encoding/compression. Dolby licenses its technologies to consumer electronics manufacturers. Technologies 1.Analog audio noise reduction: Dolby A/B/C/S-Type NR: professional and consumer noise reduction systems for tapes and analog cassettes. Dolby SR (Spectral Recording): professional four-channel noise reduction […]

Macgo Free Mac Media Player Commented by CNET as Powerful Media Player on Mac

As we all know that there are plenty of audio, video and image formats, however, despite the amount of available media formats people have already developed, it is not always easy to find one perfect media player for all the formats you want to play on Mac. Macgo Free Mac Media Player has been well […]

IGBTs Are Helping CNC Machines More Efficient

CNC machines with IGBTs are fast. The CNC plasma cutting machine is one such device that has made the complex welding process simple and efficient. They are computer numerically controlled machinery which has been of great use to the metal working industry since a long time. Metals are used in every field of our lives […]

The Evolution of My Cell Phone

In 2009, I had a basic flip phone and thought I had something. I couldn’t text, had no apps , or internet. I switched companies that I worked for that year. I was introduced to a new phone about two weeks later. It was called an Iphone. The Iphone had apps. I could text and […]

The Fun I Have With Computers

The fun I have with computers goes all the way back to 1981. As a plebe at West Point, we had to take a required computer course that taught us basic programming. It was Fortran based. For me, it was hard. The IF THEN concept did not do much for me. I was definitely interested […]

Android Smart Phone Versus the Iphone

When all is said and done, this is just my opinion. In 2009, I got my first smart phone which was an Iphone. It was awesome. I basically had a phone that could do most everything. I could text, download and use apps, listen to music, watch a movie, check company e-mail etc. There were […]
