A closer look at the overall Automotive Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) business scenario presented through self-explanatory charts, tables, and graphics images add greater value to the study.

Like many people who like their gadgets –and also spend time outdoors and traveling– I’ve amassed a small collection of portable battery packs. You never know when you might need to recharge a smartphone, tablet, portable speaker, or light. ChargeTech’s PLUG is an entirely different beast, taking the concept of portable battery packs to a whole new level. You can not only charge your smartphone (many times), but with a pair of international AC outlets, you can plug in and run equipment like a laptop or TV. That’s pretty impressive in a battery pack that’s actually portable.

All Ioniqs are well equipped with comprehensive active safety, radar cruise control, rear camera, eight-inch touchscreen, satnav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, smart entry and start, climate control and alloy wheels.

While shopping, know exactly what you need to use the cord for and buy accordingly. Thinner indoor extension cords should never be used outside, as they’re not durable enough and can fray.

Pros: A whopping 1,000-watt generator, weighs just 36 pounds, safe for use in national parks and national forests, powers small appliances, inexpensive, and since it uses an oil and gas mixture for fuel, won’t ever need an oil change

Socket Mobile distributed its earnings release over the wire service earlier today. The release has also been posted on Socket’s website at socketmobile.com. In addition, a replay of today’s call will be available shortly after the call’s completion through the company’s website socketmobile.com, and a transcript of this call will be posted on the Socket website within a few days.

If you’d like to check the wiring yourself, it’s not too difficult. First, make sure the breaker to the outlet is switched to the OFF position. Then, using a screwdriver, remove the faceplate from the outlet and remove the screws that hold the outlet in place. This will allow you to pull the outlet a few inches out from the outlet box.

On the plus side, I should mention PLUG supports pass-through charging, so you can be re-charging the battery pack at the same time that it’s being used to charge other devices.

They are commonly available in three- and six-outlet configurations, and some even offer USB ports to charge your devices. Look for outlet taps that have surge protection, which help protect your electronics from damaging power surges.

Of course, plugging in multiple devices into the Suaoki Portable Solar Generator will reduce the amount of time it can operate correspondingly, sharing the capacity across the connected devices. To give you an idea, four average laptops plugged into the power ports would exhaust the battery in a little less than an hour. One iPhone X can be fully charged about five times, but using all four USB sockets to charge your power-hungry iPhone X collection would only yield about 1-1/4 full charges. Your mileage may vary.

Flip a light switch in the room to determine whether you have a half-hot outlet. Sometimes called a “lamp outlet,” this type of outlet is a little different from standard outlets in that half of it (usually the bottom half) is controlled by a switch on the wall. The purpose of a half-hot outlet is to allow you to plug in a lamp, turn it on, and then control the lamp from the light switch. If you’ve noticed a switch on the wall that didn’t seem to go to anything, it could very well control a half-hot outlet—flip this switch and then try the outlet again.
