What you Need to Know About Trimming the Output Voltage of a Power Supply
Bruce Rose, Application Engineer, CUI Inc

What is Trimming and How is it Used? Trimming the output voltage of a power supply simply means adjusting the voltage by a small amount. By convention, the term trimming is used for applications where the power supply has a specified nominal output voltage and the user is able to change the output voltage

Embry-Riddle Uses VR to Train Midshipmen in Cybersecurity Defense
Embry-Riddle Uses VR to Train Midshipmen in Cybersecurity Defense
Researchers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are designing a simulator to train Navy ROTC students, or midshipmen, in how to identify cybersecurity threats. To accomplish this goal, they’re leveraging virtual reality (VR) expertise found on the Daytona Beach Campus.    Backed by classroom lectures and digital simulators, the state-of-the-art centerpiece of the course is the virtual reality component which, according to Dr. Andy Dattel, director of the Cognitive Engineering Research in Transportation Systems (CERTS) Lab, simulates the bridge of a ship, putting students in control of identifying potential threats before they become catastrophic.  “Participants monitor outside displays — other ships in the ocean — as well as in
