Bench Talk for Design Engineers | The Official Blog of Mouser Electronics

After completing his studies in electrical engineering, Jon Gabay has worked with defense, commercial, industrial, consumer, energy, and medical companies as a design engineer, firmware coder, system designer, research scientist, and product developer. As an alternative energy researcher and inventor, he has been involved with automation technology since he founded and ran Dedicated Devices Corp. up until 2004. Since then, he has been doing research and development, writing articles, and developing technologies for next-generation engineers and students.

7 Ways AI Revolutionizes Data Centers

On September 22, 2023 in All, Computing, General by Jon Gabay

AI displays its prowess as it emerges into many disciplines. One potentially important area is the data center. Learned behavior can help manage data center scheduling, throughput, and energy usage while providing a potentially higher level of security and threat mitigation.

MIMO Optical Communications Breaks New Ground

On July 21, 2023 in All, Computing, General, Lighting, Low Power, RF, Sensors, Wireless by Jon Gabay

While RF communications systems are very effective in allowing our devices to communicate and network, RF is not the only way. Low-cost LED-based multiple wavelength light-based communications are immune to RF noise and achieve good short-haul line-of-sight data rates by passing parallel data.

Entangled Modem Could Eliminate Communications Latency

On July 20, 2023 in All, Computing, General by Jon Gabay

Quantum effects are used in our everyday lives. From disk drive heads to memory chips, without quantum understanding, we would not be at today’s level of technology. The goal of modems using entangled particles trapped in a silicon cell with room-temperature superconductors is to create a real-time communications link.
