A self-driving car moves through traffic one moment at a time. A bus blocks part of the road. Rain throws reflections across ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

From single-cable systems to energy-harvesting encoders, new feedback device features improve accuracy, reduce downtime and ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

Service providers must optimize three compression variables simultaneously: video quality, bitrate efficiency/processing power and latency ...

Linear guideways with built-in encoders are transforming precision motion systems by combining guidance and feedback in one ...

Selecting the wrong encoder can lead to downtime, costly redesigns, and unreliable feedback. This guide breaks down the fundamentals of rotary and linear position sensing — and explains when ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

I've been transcoding videos on handbrake using AV1 which I think is the latest encoder. AV1 on the Mac is often incredibly efficient. I'm talking 3gb -> 300mb efficient. Even tougher material with ...

Posital has enhanced its IXARC family of incremental magnetic rotary encoders, increasing the maximum resolution to 32,768 pulses per revolution (PPR). This upgrade also includes new phasing options, ...
