Implementing AI in Electrical Applications— Part 2 by Michael Morris

From the EC&M e-books library: How the industry is responding to data center challenges, influx in electrical grid demand, and artificial intelligence. For this e-book, we’ve collected a selection of articles that further explores different ways artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting the electrical industry. This article looks at how new technology, specifically AI, will increase demands on data centers and how electrical engineers are working to ensure data centers can meet these demands. Building off that theme, the next articles look at the relationship between data centers, AI, and the electrical grid.

Implementing AI in Electrical Applications— Part 1 by Michael Morris

From the EC&M e-books library: How the industry is incorporating artificial intelligence into the electrical space.  Ever since the rise of ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has been unavoidable. Just about every industry is developing ways to incorporate AI into their field, and the electrical industry is no different. EC&M has followed the rise of AI in order to keep our readers informed on how the technology is impacting the electrical industry. This content has been immensely popular, so we decided to collect some of the best articles into our first e-book of 2025. The topic of artificial intelligence and its role in the electrical industry is such an important and rapidly evolving one that we decided we’ll need two e-books to do it justice. Stay tuned for “Implementing AI in Electrical Applications — Part 2” releasing later in 2025.  67d1dc96c1db52f96511aefc-ecm_ebook_implementing_ai (1).pdf

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
