Design choices and material selection can create conditions for biofilm growth, despite low-aerosol assumptions.

For injection molding — as well as just about every plastic process — process cooling is very important for cycle time and part quality. Cooling sometimes seems like a last-horizon type of variable ...

Open-loop stepper motors have held a prominent position in automation applications over the years due to their simplicity, excellent positioning, and low cost. However, as manufacturers utilize faster ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers have used computer models of closed-loop geothermal systems to determine if they would be economically viable sources of renewable energy. They found that the ...

Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the various ...
