unreferenced date August 2008 The Florida Current is a thermal ocean current that flows generally from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. The current was discovered by Spain Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Le n in 1513. The Florida Current results from the movement of water pushed from the Atlantic into the Caribbean Sea by the rotation of the Earth which exerts a greater force at the equator . The water piles up along Central America and flows northward through the Yucat n Channel into the Gulf of Mexico . The water is heated in the Gulf and forced out through the Florida Straits , between the Florida Keys and Cuba and flows northward along the east coast of the United States . The Florida Current is often referred to imprecisely as the Gulf Stream . In fact, the Florida Current joins the Gulf Stream off the east coast of Florida . The water reaches a velocity of 1.8 m s or 3.6 knots.

A current sensor is a device that detects electrical current AC or DC in a wire, and generates a signal proportional to it.The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or even digital output.It can be then utilized to display the measured current in an ammeter or can be stored for further analysis in a data acquisition system or can be utilized for control purpose. The sensed current and the output signal can be AC current input, analog output, which duplicates the wave shape of the sensed current bipolar output, which duplicates the wave shape of the sensed current unipolar output, which is proportional to the average or RMS value of the sensed current DC current input, unipolar, with a unipolar output, which duplicates the wave shape of the sensed current digital output, which switches when the sensed current exceeds a certain threshold Technologies Hall effect Integrated circuit IC sensor.

If a company s current ratio is in this range, then it is generally considered to have good short term financial strength. If current liabilities exceed current assets the current ratio is below 1 , then the company may have problems meeting its short term obligations. If the current ratio is too high, then the company may not be efficiently using its current assets or its short term financing facilities. This may also indicate problems in working capital management. Low values for the current or quick ratios values less than 1 indicate that a firm may have difficulty meeting current obligations.

The limiting current , in electrochemistry, is the limiting value of a faradaic current that is approached as the rate of charge transfer to an electrode is increased . The limiting current can be approached, for example, by increasing the electric potential or decreasing the rate of mass transfer to the electrode. It is independent of the applied potential over a finite range, and is usually evaluated by subtracting the appropriate residual current from the measured total current. ref http www.iupac.org goldbook L03532.pdf ref A limiting current can have the character of an adsorption , catalytic , diffusion , or kinetic current, and may include a migration current.

Constant current is a term most often used in electronics to describe a system that can vary the voltage across an electronic circuit to maintain a constant electric current . When a component is indicated to be driven by a constant current, the driving circuit in essence is a current regulator and must appear to the component as a current source of suitable reliability. An important usage of constant current power supplies are LED s. While a high resistance series resistance is sufficient to light an LED sometimes the design needs to guard against high current. Another use is in fluorescent lamp s which have very dynamic electrical resistance and are optimally operated within a short range of currents. ref Caladen Circuit Corner, before Sep 5 2009, http caladan.nanosoft.ca c4 ccorner 4.php LED Current Controller ref See also Current source LED circuit References reflist Category Electric current Category Electrical power control Category Electronics terms electronics stub ... more details
