Abstract: This article introduces a low-power spintronic rotary encoder capable of 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion. The proposed encoder leverages spin-Hall effect-driven domain wall motion ...

Abstract: This paper presents an absolute capacitive rotary encoder using a sample-and-hold demodulator (SHD) to reduce interference between sine and cosine channels. The capacitive encoder measures ...

In a world dominated by pistons, the rotary engine was something different for motorists. It was the vision of German engineer Felix Wankel, built on the belief that the up-and-down motion of pistons ...
