    Engineering Switching from R&D Engineer to Validation Engineer Concerns

    Thank you for the reply JakeBrodskyPE. I'm feeling a lot less nervous now about my decision. I think validation engineering will give me some good experience that I can definitely utilize in the future. I was more worried about switching from validation engineering to something I enjoyed more...

    Engineering Switching from R&D Engineer to Validation Engineer Concerns

    Hello. I need some advice and I don't know where to turn to. I'm currently an Applied R&D Engineer and my job is almost split between electrical hardware design engineering and embedded software engineering. About 6 months ago, after a lot of thought, I decided to switch jobs. I been working at...

    Finding the orthonormal basis for cosine function

    Homework Statement si(t) = √(((2*E)/T)*cos(2*π*fc*t + i*(π/4))) for 0≤t≤T and 0 otherwise. Where i = 1, 2, 3, 4 and fc = nc/T, for some fixed integer nc. What is the dimensionality, N, of the space spanned by this set of signal? Find a set of orthonormal basis functions to represent this set of...

    Find the net average power of a magnetic system

    Homework Statement We are given a circuit with a inductor that has a magnetic core and a magnet that is moving away from the inductor and to the inductor. We can control the flow of current through the inductor using 4 switches. We have to find the net average power at the output of the battery...

    Can LDO Voltage Regulators be driven at max current output?

    Hi. I was wondering if there is anything wrong with running LDO Voltage Regulators at max current output for extended periods of time (>12 hrs). The reason I ask is because I have a application where I have to drive a load that is less than 5Ω with a constant current of 500mA at 5V. I could use...

    Can I Design an All-in-One AC to DC LED Driver with PWM Dimming?

    Hello. I'm trying to design a AC to DC LED driver with PWM dimming. I have a design that I can use with the LM3406HV but I would like to design something that I can wire up 110V AC mains line. With the LM3406HV I need a DC power supply. I was thinking about using a switching power supply but if...

    What happens when a high power LED shorts in a LED series string?

    Hello. I'm learning about high power LED's. I would like to design a high power LED driver for a DIY project I'm working on. I'm planning on using an LED driver to provide constant current and have dimming control through PWM. I'm going to be using 3W high power LED's in a series configuration...

    Engineering Engineer who stutters needs advice

    I did see "The King's Speech", it's a good movie and I can relate. I did go to a therapist before but not recently (not in the past 5 years). I'm thinking about going back again but I'm a little worried my stuttering might be worse after the therapy is over. I have heard of this happening from...

    Engineering Engineer who stutters needs advice

    Hello. I need some advice from people who might stutter or have dealt with a situation where someone stutters at their work. I graduated with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering last May (2012). I stutter and it gets worse during phone calls and interviews from potential employers and...
