Next generation cellular networks such as 5G and 6G promise to support emerging applications such as enhanced mobile broadband, mission critical applications for the first responder, remote surgery, ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

Diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pump which move gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures via a reciprocating diaphragm. They are highly reliable because they do not include internal parts that ...

This large library of free industrial online webinars available from GlobalSpec's partners covers the big trends in engineering - everything from electrical engineering and power electronics to ...

Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight-through valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. The valve gets its name from the ball that ...

V-belt pulleys (also called vee belt sheaves) are devices which transmit power between axles by the use of a v-belt, a mechanical linkage with a trapezoidal cross-section. Together these devices offer ...

Venturi vacuum generators create vacuums using a venturi chamber designed to move gases or fluids out of a region of space. Venturi or fluid jet vacuum generators rely on the flow of compressed air, ...

Jet pumps, also known as ejector pumps, are devices capable of handling and transporting all forms of motive fluid including gas, steam, or liquid. They can be considered mixers or circulators, since ...

Hydrostatic bearings and hydrodynamic bearings are fluid film bearings that rely on a film of oil or air to create a clearance between the moving and stationary elements. Although they may be similar ...

Spring washers, sometimes called disc springs, are a subtype of washers. They lend their mechanical capabilities to the unique profile of the material: when subject to a load, the irregularities of ...

Turbine pumps are special types of centrifugal pumps which use turbine-like impellers with radially oriented teeth to move fluid. They are also referred to as vortex, periphery, or regenerative pumps.
