This monthly series of feature articles focuses on designing energy savings into products. But as we all know, the world of “green” is not only about saving energy, but also about using alternative forms of energy.

Energy Savings
The articles provide insight into methods electronics design engineers can use to develop products that require less energy. The applications involved include motor control, personal computers, servers, lighting, industrial automation, vending machines, telcom equipment, home audio equipment, home appliances, and more. It would not include, for example, portable electronics that, while they demand low power for long battery life, do not represent a significant energy usage item.

Alternative Energy
Alternative energy focuses on power solutions that limit greenhouse gases and dependency on oil. It includes the major energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power. These renewable energy sources are used in concert with new electronic product designs used for The Smart Grid, back-up power, telecom, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cells, and many other applications. For example, some new applications for photovoltaic cells and wind power use the newest, most efficient inverters to change ac to dc power.

It’s not about how people interact with machines; it’s about how machines react to people. For engineering products to succeed today, they have to meet peoples’ expectations about how the system will interpret gestures, sound, motion, touch, and more. And it’s not just consumer electronics—operators of everything from factories to mining equipment to pharmaceutical research and manufacturing instruments are demanding smarter sensing implementations so people can better understand and control process parameters and system status. Comprising multiple feature articles from leaders in sensing and transducer technologies, this special will provide an overview of the latest breakthroughs, so as to guide readers in making informed product choices.
