Apparatus and associated methods relate to acoustic-electric sensor system including a main acoustic sensor operably coupled to detect string vibrations of an acoustic-electric instrument and a feedback suppression acoustic sensor configured to primarily detect sound
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a tower light assembly having an output indicator responsive to an onboard sensor in accordance with a predetermined environmental parameter threshold. In an illustrative example, an augmented sensing tower
Some apparatus and associated methods relate to a buck-derived switched mode power supply with three-quarter bridge (TQB) formed with a bypass switch in parallel with an inductor. In an illustrative example, the bypass switch may
A non-contact voltage detector module pluggable to a mobile communication device. The non-contact voltage comprises an antenna, a connector configured for connecting to a connector of a mobile communication device, and an assembly coupled to
Methods and apparatus relate to a minimizing ripple in a polyphase power supply by modulating a voltage pre-regulator output setpoint to minimize ripple performance. In an illustrative example, the modulation may include incrementally adjusting the
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a switching network that (1) receives energy from an input source that magnetically excites an output winding, (2) stores some of that energy in a series capacitance while delivering
