1 Introduction The scrubber is a device that bombards microchannel plates (MCP’s) with electrons, thus“scrubbing” them. This is done both to stabilize the gain of the MCPs and to, as the namewould suggest, clean them of any residue. As detailed by Tyler Lutz in his collection ofdesign documents1, a mercury vapor bulb and a nichrome …
There’s so much obsolete technology out there with great design. It’s really sad to see it end up in the landfill, because even though the insides may be outdated, good design is forever. Take this 1980s Panasonic answering machine, for instance. The smoky plastic of the cassette lid is the perfect screen for Dot, because it …
The EVLSTCH03-45WPD 45W USB Type-C® Power Delivery 3.0 adapter from STMicroelectronics is a USB-IF certified solution and reference design. The EVLSTCH03-45WPD is an isolated ac-dc power supply with a standalone USB PD controller. The board implements at the primary side a quasi-resonant flyback converter based on the STCH03 controller with optocoupler feedback for voltage regulation. This controller combines a high-performance low-voltage …

Overview The Raspberry Pi 3B+ (and all other current Raspberry Pis) has built in WiFi. The “wlan0” interface is typically the default gateway of connection besides Ethernet, but it is not capable of entering “monitoring mode”. In this tutorial, we will show you how to ensure a separate network adapter is capable of monitoring mode …

Modern devices are quickly switching to USB-C power adapters, gradually fading out USB-A, and USB-B adapters. USB’s Power Delivery (USB-PD) protocol enables the supplies to be flexible enough to handle charging (or powering) devices ranging from mobile phones to laptops. There are many high quality 90-100 Watt USB-C power adapters available. But unfortunately, there are many devices that …
