The LYTSwitch-3 family of ICs have a built-in phase-cut-dimmer detector that determines whether a leading edge, trailing edge, or no dimmer is connected. The LYTSwitch-3 controller adjusts the drive ...

When an individual cell needs to move somewhere, it manages just fine on its own. It extends protrusions from its leading edge and retracts the trailing edge to scoot itself along, without having to ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

Passengers looking out the window of a passenger plane will likely have noticed slats on the leading edge of the wing, along with the flaps on the trailing edge of the wing, being extended during ...

Using LEDs for lighting is an ever-more-popular application because of its high efficacy and long life. Dimmable lighting applications in residential and commercial installations will account for over ...

Journal of Vegetation Science, Vol. 27, No. 4 (July 2016), pp. 780-788 (9 pages) Aim: Climate change will alter the geographic distribution of many species, but in forest communities, long-lived trees ...

A new signaling system has been discovered that epithelial cells use to coordinate their individual movements and efficiently move tissues, report scientists. When an individual cell needs to move ...
