There is a series on EDN Japan called "Wired, Weird." It is a documentary-style series in which the author, Yutaka Yamahira, discusses the causes of malfunctions, mysterious specifications, and poor ...

Pull requests help you collaborate on code with other people. As pull requests are created, they’ll appear here in a searchable and filterable list. To get started, you should create a pull request.

Scientists, including an Oregon State University chemistry researcher, have taken a key step toward faster, more energy-efficient artificial intelligence, and data processing in general, with the ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

This research described a new perceptual phenomenon of bistability induced by partial occlusion of digital numerals. Results of experiments using visual adaptation indicate that this perceptual ...

Justin Pot is a freelance journalist who helps people get more out of technology. We've talked more than once about the pomodoro technique, which is built around intensely focusing on a task for 25 ...

This circuit emulates the functionality of the classic 555-Timer IC. It was designed using open-source tools and was taped-out in the Skywater 130nm CMOS process through TinyTapeout on April 19th 2024 ...

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...
