Scientists have created a steel sphere device that could help buildings survive earthquakes without electricity
Earthquake-resistant technology may soon become simpler, cheaper and far more reliable thanks to a newly patented steel sphere cylinder developed by researchers at the University of Sharjah. The ...
A novel configuration for damping devices with the main advantage of preserving open space within the frame of installation was developed and tested. The acquired test data were used for validating ...
Supertex introduced the MD0107, a high-speed four channel auto damping device. The Supertex MD0107 is a high voltage device intended to improve the signal and image quality of ultrasound systems, and ...
