Can someone explain what the purpose of TTR (transformer turn ratio) testing is suppoed to catch? Why we test for it?
capturing heat/compresors
I am seeking information on heat recovery systems for multiple freezers in a dept. store setting. I am new at the whole topic but have been asked to look into it for someone even less computor savy than myself. The store has about 20 freezer type compressors.Air conditioning units are also evident s
White Stripe on Hewlett Packard LCD Monitor (At Least It's Not BSOD)
I have a HP DV8000 laptop (8040us specifically I believe) with a 17" screen. About a month ago I took it out of the laptop case and started it up, I noticed a White stripe about 1 inch wide about 2 inches from the right side of the screen which ran vertically the entire length of the monitor.

Chromium-Plated Steel
I often use chrome plated steel in creating junk sculptures. Items such as chrome wheel nuts, old sockets, chrome-vanadium spanners etc. I would like to know if the fumes from welding such items can be hazardous. I don't normally wear a respirator for ordinary steel welding (perhaps I should) but ar

Stainless Steel vs. Carbon Steel
I have been given the glorious task of performing a cost reduction study on a current part that is made from stainless steel (303 and 440). I have been asked to reduce the cost by making it from carbon steel rather than stainless. I have already determined that there might not actually be a reduct
Sand Blasting Data Required
We are developing a sand blasting media engineered from recyclable plastic that will compete with 3 or 4 existing medias currently on the market. To help us position this product and help us have an understanding of the actual size of the market could someone assist us with the following 2 marke
555 Timer for Motor Pulsing – Fire!
I am trying to build a simple a stable 555 timer to switch a smallish dc motor off and on. In simulation it works. However, when I proto the board, everything works right, on/off interval is good, relay opens and closes.......................until I add the motor, then I get the magic smoke from th
Dell Latitude Screen
Hi. I have been given a Dell Latitude to have a look at by a friend, because the backlight for the screen doesn't work. I am not sure whether this is due to the inverter or the backlight not working, and I don't have any way to test them. The laptop will turn on, and if a VGA cable is plugged in,
Pressure Test on Cryogenic Vessels
Hey all, i would like to ask what is the reason that cryogenic vessels do not use water for hydrostatic test, and uses air or inert gas for the test instead?
Thanks!

Stuck "A" Key on Dell Laptop
We have a Dell laptop with a stuck "A" key. We plugged in an external keyboard, but the A key on the laptop periodically (every few minutes) goes berserk and inserts a string of "AAAAAAAAAAA" until we jab the A key a zillion times to get it to stop.
Whilst we await the arrival of a replacem

LTC1290CCN Chip Failure
Hi
We use this chip which is a 12 bit A/D converter on one of our circuit boards. We purchased a large quantity of these chips in 2007. Recently we have been experiencing random intermittent failures. Sometimes the chip fails at startup other times after a month. A few have failed in the f
