The struggle for power and glory
05 March, 2014 by Mike Smyth, specialist technical writerTwo names representing two different technologies stand out like beacons among the thousands of names and inventions that were such a feature of the 19th century. These two, like boxers in a ring waiting for the contest to start, sparred and weaved in bids to make their beliefs the one the world would accept. But the two were not the inventors of the technology they so passionately believed in and strangely they are better remembered today as the inventors of the gramophone and the vacuum braking system used on trains throughout the world.
Efficient switching in IGBT applications
02 December, 2013 by Matthew Dauterive, Field Application Engineer; Recom EngineeringAs renewable energy takes centre stage, efficiently harvesting this energy becomes increasingly critical.
