Recaps of Recent Capacitor Developments
Product Focus The past several months have witnessed significant new product releases and technological developments related to the field of capacitor technology.
In June, Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced what it says is the industry’s first fully integrated Li-Ion battery management integrated circuit (IC) for super capacitor charge control. This single device provides comprehensive features for managing charge control; measuring capacitance and effective series resistance (ESR); and protecting either 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-series super capacitors with individual capacitor control, or up to 9-series capacitors with stack control.

The Effective Use of High-Speed Isolated Data Acquisition Systems for Safe, Accurate Rapid Transient Electrical Measurements
Case Studies Typical rapid transient electrical applications are often characterized as “mission critical.” In many cases, an engineer or test technician may have just one viable opportunity to capture invaluable diagnostic data for the prevention of damage to machinery, systems and equipment. In many cases, improper data collection could add millions of dollars to project costs and also cause significant personal injury. As such, this very short-duration event requires a high-speed, high-accuracy, isolated data acquisition system to ensure measurement safety, accuracy and reliability.

The Nation's Quest for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Adoptions in Net Zero Energy Buildings
Design Features The nation’s quest for Net Zero Energy Buildings is likely to change a great deal about the way we approach designing and constructing buildings in the future. From the use of a broadened integration team in early planning and the heightened use of BIM tools, to the consideration of a diverse pallet of energy efficient building solutions and site-based power generation and storage, the days of incremental improvement of older technologies may not meet the challenge.
