Medium voltage components for power electronics Does this sound familiar? Voltage increases, whenever it is least expected. Good for thrillers. Not so good for power electronic installations. That is why we developed our “ready-to-use switch components” based on IGBT and Thyristor technology, specifically for use in MV applications. They are even available with or without control or current loop feed power supply. So sit back, relax and look forward to an exciting conversation with your House of Competence. It's worth it.

  • My Name Is Julian Sanchez, and I
    September 24, 2020 The Honorable Jan Schakowsky The Honorable Cathy McMorris Rodgers Chairwoman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Consumer Subcommittee on Consumer Protection & Commerce Protection & Commerce Committee on Energy & Commerce Committee on Energy & Commerce U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman Schakowsky, Ranking Member McMorris Rodgers, and Members of the Subcommittee: My name is Julian Sanchez, and I’m a senior fellow at the Cato Institute who focuses on issues at the intersection of technology and civil liberties—above all, privacy and freedom of expression. I’m grateful to the committee for the opportunity to share my views on this important topic. New communications technologies—especially when they enable horizontal connections between individuals—are inherently disruptive. In 16th century Europe, the advent of movable type printing fragmented a once-unified Christendom into a dizzying array of varied—and often violently opposed—sects. In the 1980s, one popular revolution against authoritarian rule in the Philippines was spurred on by broadcast radio—and decades later, another was enabled by mobile phones and text messaging. Whenever a technology reduces the friction of transmitting ideas or connecting people to each other, the predictable result is that some previously marginal ideas, identities, and groups will be empowered. While this is typically a good thing on net, the effect works just as well for ideas and groups that had previously been marginal for excellent reasons. Periods of transition from lower to higher connectivity are particularly fraught. Urbanization and trade in Europe’s early modern period brought with them, among their myriad benefits, cyclical outbreaks of plague, as pathogens that might once have burned out harmlessly found conditions amenable to rapid spread and mutation.

  • Youtube Recommendations and Effects on Sharing Across Online Social Platforms
    YouTube Recommendations and Effects on Sharing Across Online Social Platforms CODY BUNTAIN, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA RICHARD BONNEAU, Center for Social Media and Politics, New York University, USA JONATHAN NAGLER, Center for Social Media and Politics, New York University, USA JOSHUA A. TUCKER, Center for Social Media and Politics, New York University, USA In January 2019, YouTube announced its platform would exclude potentially harmful content from video recommendations while allowing such videos to remain on the platform. While this action is intended to reduce YouTube’s role in propagating such content, continued availability of these videos via hyperlinks in other online spaces leaves an open question of whether such actions actually impact sharing of these videos in the broader information space. This question is particularly important as other online platforms deploy similar suppressive actions that stop short of deletion despite limited understanding of such actions’ impacts. To assess this impact, we apply interrupted time series models to measure whether sharing of potentially harmful YouTube videos in Twitter and Reddit changed significantly in the eight months around YouTube’s announcement. We evaluate video sharing across three curated sets of anti-social content: a set of conspiracy videos that have been shown to experience reduced recommendations in YouTube, a larger set of videos posted by conspiracy-oriented channels, and a set of videos posted by alternative influence network (AIN) channels. As a control, we also evaluate these effects on a dataset of videos from mainstream news channels. Results show conspiracy-labeled and AIN videos that have evidence of YouTube’s de-recommendation do experience a significant decreasing trend in sharing on both Twitter and Reddit.
