Abstract: This paper presents the development of a Arduino based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) temperature control system using an Arduino UNO, R-type thermocouple, and solid-state relay (SSR ...

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithmic model that can improve predictions of cooling demand for greener buildings. This ...

Having an enclosed 3D printer can make a huge difference when printing certain filaments that are prone to warping. It’s easy enough to build an enclosure to stick your own printer in, but ...

What happens when you combine an Arduino-based microcontroller with a palm-sized aluminum box and clicky buttons? A fidget ...

Get our weekly Home and Garden email for tips, and interior inspiration Most of us don’t think too hard about making a brew. Flick the kettle switch, wait for the rumble and pour boiling water over ...

When electricity or fuel powers a machine, the machine gets hotter. Finding new ways to cool machines quickly and ...

If you're someone who tends to sip coffee or tea throughout the day, you likely know the hassle of getting up to nuke your cup every hour or so. Even insulated travel tumblers can only do so much to ...

Abstract: This article presents a robust, low-power micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) temperature control platform featuring a novel hybrid control strategy combining genetic algorithm and ...

As hot sleepers ourselves, we understand the winter season offers no real reprieve from overheating. We’ve tested hundreds of sleep products, including cooling mattresses, sheets and bedding across ...
