Dual-zone climate control is a system that allows the vehicle’s front-seat passengers to set their own preferred temperature for their “zone,” or their area of the front cabin. It’s a smarter, more ...

To understand how driverless vehicles can navigate the complexities of the road, researchers often use game theory—mathematical models representing the way rational agents behave strategically to meet ...

The function of this automatic volume control circuit is to amplify signals without distorting its dynamic compression. The amplitude differences in the signal are levelled off and the disturbing ...

Advances in motion control technology can help reduce the size and footprint of automatic guided vehicles, while also making them more efficient. Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are as diverse as the ...

In last month’s column [“Automatic Pumpdown Systems,” Nov. 5], we talked in general about the automatic pumpdown cycle and why it is the only sure remedy for refrigerant migration to a compressor ...

Somewhere between the correct way to hang toilet paper and the right quantity of decorative pillows on the bedspread comes another spousal debate: how to use automatic climate control. Do you pick a ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

Automatic Gain Control or AGC is a circuit design which maintain the same level of amplification for sound or radio frequency. If the signal is too low the AGC circuit will increase (amplify) the ...
