While opportunity charging is a practice applicable to both Lead Acidand Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for motive power systems, fast charging is a key differentiator for Lithium-ion batteries. Because the chemistry allows fast charging without damaging cycle life, Li-ion multivoltge batteries can be charged opportunistically during breaks and don’t require battery swaps. Learn about best practices […]

This whitepaper examines the limitations of manual cable validation processes and explores how automated testing strategies help address common engineering and manufacturing pain points. Topics include improving test repeatability, reducing operator-dependent variability, minimizing setup time, streamlining documentation, and enhancing production scalability. The paper also reviews the role of intelligent switching, automated test sequencing, digital recordkeeping, […]

Dave Farquhar looks back at the Usenet post that started Linux, writing on The Silicon Underground. On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted to comp.os.minix to describe a free hobby operating system for 386 and 486 PCs. He had been working on it since April. He had the bash shell and the gcc compiler running […]

Cobalt is an open source application platform for Kobo e-readers, published at bandarlabs.github.io. It includes a launcher, a signed app store, a Rust SDK, and a runtime that keeps each app in its own unprivileged process. Install it once over USB, then install, update, and remove apps on the reader itself over WiFi. A reboot […]

LWN published a look at CrossPoint Reader, replacement firmware for the small ESP32-based e-readers that have been showing up from Chinese vendors over the past year. Dave Allie released the first version soon after the Xteink 4 went global. The MIT-licensed project now has more than 200 contributors and supports six devices built around the […]

Ananthu Ashok, writing at Open Source For You, reports that Microsoft has finished moving WinUI to open source. WinUI is the native user interface framework behind Windows 11 applications. Mainline development now happens publicly on GitHub, where branches, pull requests and code reviews can be followed by anyone. The switch completes a four phase migration […]

A non-paper torus via Wikimedia commons by Dave Crosby   Mathematicians are always up to something. Richard Schwartz of Brown University wasn’t satisfied with simply making an origami donut from a sheet of paper; he wanted to make sure it was the most efficient folded donut possible. The donut shape is called a torus. Schwartz […]

There's so much to learn. In my case, what exactly is a flip-squisk?! I learnt this one when reading about an Arduino-based flip-squisk display, to be precise.
