The battery charge/discharge units (BCDUs) regulate the amount of charge put into the battery. Each BCDU can regulate discharge current from two battery ORUs (each with 38 series-connected Ni-H 2 cells), and can provide up to 6.6 kW to the Space Station. During insolation, the BCDU provides charge current to the batteries and controls the ...
A stand-alone power system ( SAPS or SPS ), also known as remote area power supply ( RAPS ), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation. Electricity is typically generated by ...
Standby power is electrical power used by appliances and equipment while switched off or not performing their primary function, often waiting to be activated by a remote controller. That power is consumed by internal or external power supplies, remote control receivers, text or light displays, circuits energized when the device is plugged in ...
An Axios/Ipsos poll found that 1 in 5 Americans don’t think they’ll ever retire — and a whopping 70% of that cohort say it’s because they simply can’t (or won’t be able to) afford it ...
When the phone is set on the pad, a coil in the pad creates a magnetic field [1] which induces a current in another coil, in the phone, charging its battery. Wireless power transfer ( WPT ), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission ( WET ), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires ...
A wireless light switch is a light switch that commands a light or home appliance to turn itself off or on, instead of interrupting the power line going to the light fixture. There are different ways to communicate between the switch and the fixture: [2] Using radio transmission: A radio receiver is typically wired or screwed into a fixture or ...
A specially developed CCD in a wire-bonded package used for ultraviolet imaging. A charge-coupled device ( CCD) is an integrated circuit containing an array of linked, or coupled, capacitors. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to a neighboring capacitor. CCD sensors are a major technology ...
The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectricity, triboelectric charging, triboelectrification, or tribocharging) describes electric charge transfer between two objects when they contact or slide against each other. It can occur with different materials, such as the sole of a shoe on a carpet, or between two pieces of the same material.
