Drones and multicopters are a rapidly growing market, as consumer applications increase and prices plummet. New drone models must be able to offer advanced speed, navigation, and control systems as well as the longest possible airtime. Safety, reliability, and ease of use are crucial to each part — and the holistic function — of these small unmanned aircraft. To ensure that flight is safe and effi...

Sewing machines — especially those used in large industrial and factory applications — must offer high speed and accurate motor drive control to keep up with high demand and shrinking production times. As factories become smarter and automated equipment seeks to ever-increase manufacturing output, sewing machine designs need to deliver more functionality in smaller sizes. Low power consumption and...

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units for both industrial and residential applications must offer customers the key features of reliability, energy efficiency, and convenience. The best HVAC systems provide temperature adjustments and air circulation without introducing a lot of noise or raising power bills. New generations of HVAC units are integrating smart-home ready features ...

Air conditioners for both industrial and residential applications must offer customers the key features of reliability, energy efficiency, and convenience. The best air conditioning systems provide cool air without introducing a lot of noise or raising power bills.
