A LM317 commonly requires a heat sink to prevent the operating temperature from rising too high. For large voltage differences, the power lost as heat can ultimately be greater than that provided to the circuit. This is the tradeoff for using linear regulators, which are a simple way to provide a stable voltage with few additional components.

English: Schematic of a 1A current regulator using LM317 adjustable voltage regulator. The open-circuit voltage assumes the output stage of the LM317 saturates at approximately 0.2 V and the adjust pin sinks enough current so that the voltage drop across the 1.25 ohm resistor is 1.25 V, which corresponds to the approximate temperature-compensated bandgap of silicon.
The interposed buffer amplifier prevents the second circuit from loading the first circuit unacceptably and interfering with its desired operation, since without the voltage buffer, the voltage of the second circuit is influenced by output impedance of the first circuit (as it is larger than the input impedance of the second circuit). In the ...

A digital buffer (or a logic buffer) is an electronic circuit element used to copy a digital input signal and isolate it from any output load.For the typical case of using voltages as logic signals, a logic buffer's input impedance is high, so it draws little current from the input circuit, to avoid disturbing its signal.
For NPN open collector outputs, the emitter of the NPN transistor is internally connected to ground, [1] so the NPN open collector internally forms either a short-circuit (technically low impedance or "low-Z") connection to the low voltage (which could be ground) when the transistor is switched on, or an open-circuit (technically high impedance ...
The AAR/APTA TypeE, TypeF, and TypeH couplers are all compatible Janney couplers, but used for different rail cars (general freight, tank cars, rotary hoppers, passenger, etc.). The knuckle coupler or Janney coupler was invented by Eli H. Janney , who received a patent in 1873 ( U.S. patent 138,405 ). [ 20 ]
