AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “Basic Pneumatic Circuits”, which discusses common pneumatic circuits that can be used alone or as building blocks in larger pneumatics ...

Pneumatics looks at the use of compressed air to create a circuit. A pneumatic circuit is made up of an input, process, and output. Pneumatics are used in everyday life for example compressed air is ...

Engineers design fluidic logic into garments to help people with functional limitations perform tasks without electronic assistance. For all the talk about embedding computers in clothing, here's an ...

HOUSTON – (July 24, 2024) – When picturing next-generation wearables and robotics, the foam filling in your couch cushions is likely not the first thing that comes to mind. However, Rice University ...

The operating logic may be diagrammed to different levels of completeness of information. Whatever the level of completeness, the diagram communicates functional information explicitly to the degree ...

Engineers have shown that something as simple as the flow of air through open-cell foam can be used to perform digital computation, analog sensing and combined digital-analog control in soft ...
