This post is based on Knowles Precision Devices blog that explains quasi-lumped filter technologies that combine multiple filter technologies to meet specific requirements. There are hundreds of filter applications operating across a wide range of frequencies, which presents a challenge for filter designers since most filter designs don’t inherently operate across these wide ranges. Size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) are also important considerations, so simply...

This article introduces magnetic fusion technology based on Heraeus Conamic article that supplied the qualified raw material for the initial test windows of this technology. Introduction Nuclear fusion through magnetic confinement: Sounds highly theoretical, but has the potential to provide us an almost limitless energy source in the future. Similar to laser fusion, magnetic fusion has recently achieved a major success: The world’s largest...
