Ohm's Law also makes intuitive sense if you apply it to the water-and-pipe analogy. If we have a water pump that exerts pressure (voltage) to push water around a "circuit" (current) through a restriction (resistance), we can model how the three variables interrelate. If the resistance to water flow stays the same and the pump pressure increases, the flow rate must also increase. |

ST Microelectronics # L4620. An integrated circuit designed for the liquid level control in automotive applications. The liquid level is determined by the attenuation between transmitted and received signals across a sensor tip in the liquid. If the attenuation exceeds an internal threshold - sensor tip outside the liquid or liquid temperature higher than a determined value � a square-wave alarm output indicates an insufficient liquid condition. Internal circuits prevent spurious indications, and a latch keeps the alarm activated until the supply voltage is switched off. 8-pin dip package. |

Physics promises wireless power |

The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today's electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past. US researchers have outlined a relatively simple system that could deliver power to devices such as laptop computers or MP3 players without wires. The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres, the researchers said. Although the team has not built and tested a system, computer models and mathematics suggest it will work. |
