Ever wonder how they capture seemingly perfectly timed photographs of water droplets? Most of the time it’s done by using an optointerrupter whereby it detects the droplet falling and then triggers a ...
LEDs in portable devices often show power status, battery status, or Bluetooth-connection activity. LEDs can be major factors in determining battery life because their intensity is directly ...
A new kind of LED keeps its efficiency when in a hot recessed lamp. LEDs are typically tested for efficiency at 25°C. But the resulting data isn't of much use for designing applications like down ...
