Back when virtualization was transitioning from being a curiosity to a buzzword, one of the core issues addressed in whitepapers and other research involved performance isolation. In a nutshell, ...

Floating raft vibration isolation systems (FRVISs) represent a state-of-the-art technology for minimizing the mechanical vibrations of ocean going vessels with a range of goals, such as for enhancing ...

Since the damping force of electromagnetic shunt damping (EMSD) devices can be adjusted by controlling the external circuit, in order to further enhance its vibration reduction performance in the ...

The just-released model CT-2 completely-passive tabletop vibration isolation platform, from Minus K Technology, with no air or electric power required, represents the latest state-of-the-art option ...

Figure 1 displays a cutaway view of TMC’s Gimbal Piston™ isolator, which uses two air chambers instead of one. The chambers are connected by a small orifice. When the piston moves up and down, air is ...

Integrating an isolation barrier into a power IC is an example of how packaging technology has advanced the semiconductor state-of-the art. This technology enables these devices to perform as digital ...

Erik Runge, Director of Engineering at Minus K Technology, talks to AZoNano about their low-frequency vibration isolation systems. Could you provide our readers with a summary of the history of Minus ...

Integrated with internal passive air isolators, high-resolution instruments may allow the option to add vibration cancelation motors and inertial sensors to transform passive air isolators into active ...

There is a common misconception that optocouplers will always fail with an “open” circuit when a high-voltage event breaks the device. Although there are many ways that an optocoupler can fail open, ...
