When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

Locomotion is a complex motor act that, to a large degree, is controlled by neuronal circuits in the spinal cord. Using a systems neuroscience approach in several model systems of non-limbed and ...

FPGAs have made significant strides as engines for implementing high-performance signal processing functions, whether for ASIC replacement or performance acceleration in the signal processing chain ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden have uncovered the molecular logic underpinning the assembly of spinal circuits that control the speed of locomotion in adult zebrafish. The study has ...

Tighter integration The cryogenic quantum control platform developed by David Reilly at the University of Sydney. (Courtesy: Fiona Wolf/University of Sydney) Researchers in Australia say that they ...

New research into Parkinson's disease suggests that many of the problems suffered by patients -- difficulties in initiating actions, slow labored movements and tremors -- can be understood in terms of ...

In a twist on nontraditional uses of ultrasound, neuroscientists have developed pulsed ultrasound techniques that can remotely stimulate brain circuit activity. The findings provide insights into how ...
