300 To 450 MHz ASK Transmitter Supports Two Operating Frequencies With One Crystal
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX7058 crystal-referenced, phased-locked loop (PLL) VHF/UHF transmitter for transmitting OOK/ASK/FSK data at 315MHz or 390MHz. This device supports 315MHz/390MHz switched operation with a single 15MHz crystal, and can operate at any two frequencies in the 300MHz to 450MHz range with the use of different crystal frequencies. To enable … [Read more...]
Pulsed EM Fuel Treatment Reduces Oil Viscosity and Could Boost Fuel Economy
Tests recently conducted at Temple University in Philadelphia demonstrated that the use of a patent pending, pulsed EM device resulted in substantial reductions in the viscosity of crude oil. Such a reduction could yield a variety of benefits to the oil and gasoline industries including more efficient flow through pipelines, better refining processes, and improved fuel economy. … [Read more...]
