Quantum computers will make current security mechanisms vulnerable to new types of cyberattacks — a real problem for both chip cards and complex technological systems such as networked vehicles or industrial control systems. They have the potentia...View More
Electrification of the car has mandated the use of high-power devices — notably batteries, inverters, and regenerative braking systems — whose interfacing with digital control circuits requires the adoption of appropriate galvani...View More

Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) is a diagnostic communication protocol in the electronic control unit (ECU) environment within the automotive electronics, which is specified in the ISO 14229-1. It is derived from ISO 14230-3 (KWP2000) and ISO 1...View More
A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each others' applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for mult...View More
We use electricity day in and day out; but have you wondered how it all works? Essentially, the electric current flows along a conductor in the form of free electrons that move from one atom to the next. Recall the secondary school science classes...View More
A phase change material (PCM) is a substance which releases/absorbs sufficient energy at phase transition to provide useful heat/cooling. Generally the transition will be from one of the first two fundamental states of matter - solid and liquid - ...View More
BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a measure of energy defined by the amount of energy require to change 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. For our purposes we use BTU/hr as a measurement of work being done per hour. Our chillers are rated in BTU...View More
