http://www.edn.com/design/power-management/4458294/Using-a-supercapacitor-for-power-management-and-energy-storage-with-a-small-solar-cell–Part-1 The environment has abundant energy but little power. Energy harvesting can tap the environment’s “infinite” source of energy, and avoids the cost of wiring to mains power or replacing of batteries. This article will look at using small solar cells. Depending on the light level, whether indoors or out, small solar cells may deliver →
This is 150W 12V DC to 230V 50 Hz AC conveter designed to be used in car. It failed few days ago when powering a laptop. Let’s take a look what is inside. Closer look. Here is DC power input filtering.. looks as quite ugly late add-on to design.. More circuit board details. On the →

https://www.sparkfun.com/news/2363 Interesting looking project: mount the antenna and ESP8266 Thing Dev Board onto a pan/tilt bracket with some servos. The ESP8266 code was updated to connect to a WiFi access point (AP) and begin sweeping up and down (about 70°) and left to right (about 180°). At 5° increments, the ESP8266 would take an RSSI reading. Finally the antenna automatically returns →
https://m.phys.org/news/2017-04-neural-networks.html#jCp In the past 10 years, the best-performing artificial-intelligence systems—such as the speech recognizers on smartphones or Google’s latest automatic translator—have resulted from a technique called “deep learning.” Most applications of deep learning use “convolutional” neural networks, in which the nodes of each layer are clustered, the clusters overlap, and each cluster feeds data to →

https://howwegettonext.com/reversing-the-lies-of-the-sharing-economy-a85501d14be8 We do not use the term “sharing” to refer to an interaction like this: “I’ll give you some food if you pay me.” We call that buying. We don’t use it in this situation either: “I’ll let you temporarily use my toy if you pay me.” We call that renting. In light of this, →
