You can find significant energy-saving opportunities through load balancing and load scheduling when using power logging test tools. Whether conducting an energy audit or troubleshooting to find ...

Lithium-ion batteries were introduced in 1991 and have become the preferred technology for many applications, ranging from satellites to land vehicles to model airplanes, as well as laptop computers ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are often used with a voltage source from a power-supply output voltage. The output voltage increases until the current through the LEDs reaches the value of the ...

It’s easy to forget that embedded Linux can’t do everything for all embedded developers. While it is suitable for some applications with many megabytes of memory and powerful processors, there are a ...

High Availability (HA) refers to the design and implementation of systems that are operational and accessible without significant downtime. HA systems are engineered to overcome failures automatically ...

This chapter introduces the reader to firewall load-balancing (FWLB) concepts, technology, and designs. We will talk about motivations behind FWLB solutions, different types of firewalls, and how to ...

In today’s dynamic application landscape, delivering IT infrastructure that’s highly available, performant and secure is paramount for organizations of all sizes. Load balancers help achieve this by ...

It’s a challenge to interface a resistive bridge sensor with an ADC receiving its power from a 5V single-supply power source. Some applications require output-voltage swings from 0V to a full-scale ...
