In practice, thermal diodes are highly desirable thermal components for many engineering applications because they allow energy systems to transfer heat to designated areas while also protecting ...

This Design Idea presents anunusual method of performing theexclusive functions with two resistors,four diodes, and one transistor.The NPN configuration results inthe XNOR operation, and the ...

He also derives a second, natural exponent step function from the Schockley diode equation that is less computationally demanding. To implement these models, [Sebastian] chose an Arduino GIGA R1 ...
