A method and apparatus for driving a battery-backed up clock while a computer system is powered-down. The present invention uses an auxiliary power supply, VAUX, to power a microprocessor bus oscillator. The microprocessor bus oscillator is typically a high frequency, highly accurate oscillator. Th...
In the future, electric vehicles could boost renewable energy growth by serving as “energy storage on wheels”—charging their batteries from the power grid as they do now, as well as reversing the flow to send power back and provide support services to the grid. Credit: Ehsan Faridi and ...
Most of us Corvette owners are particular when we drive, no rain or snow, so weeks can go by without starting or charging the battery by driving the vehicle. Any C7 Corvette left off a charge device for more than a week is asking for trouble. The onboard computers draw energy from the...
