♦ Community moderator on Electrical Engineering.

I have three years of experience at a small start-up company which I would not suggest to everyone, but for those willing to teach themselves, it is an excellent opportunity.

I currently work in medical proton therapy as a systems engineer. Both the details of a functioning particle accelerator and the beam physics I work with keep me interested in the day to day of my job.

I am also currently pursuing a masters degree in electrical engineering.

I do not speak on behalf of my company, all views I express are my own.

Nov 3	comment	Does a USB Isolator work any different than a powered single-port USB Hub? @ObscureRobot But for such a migration to take place a moderator from EE will be checked with a moderator. If you flag and request a migration then you possibly get a migration, posting a comment multiple places gives a much higher chance of a double post. I can see this question relates more to EE then to AVP, but that does not mean it is a good fit for EE. It seems to have received an answer here and has not been closed.
Nov 3	comment	Does a USB Isolator work any different than a powered single-port USB Hub? @EvanCarroll You are correct, 0 and 1 can be thought as on and off with a light switch, but in a transistor world you always must have a reference. Relays are more what you are talking about, but a CMOS instead uses a ground reference and either passes the voltage of your power rail or the power of your ground rail.

Nov 3	comment	Does a USB Isolator work any different than a powered single-port USB Hub? @ObscureRobot We do design of electronics on EE, please do not send people whom have consumer electronics problems to us. I know this is something that we could answer, but I prefer it comes from a consumer perspective and this ground loop issue is very different from what someone designing a device like this worries about.
