Nano-miniature connectors from Omnetics save space and weight in UAV applications
Dependent on the field of deployment, UAVs will vary in size, flying time and payload. However, the demands placed on components used will always remain the same. Size and weight are crucial, as is the ability of components to retain functionality even under the extremes of temperature, shock and vibration that are always present - especially during take off. Under such circumstances, interconnect systems are especially vulnerable, as they fulfil...
FTDI first vendor to release Microsoft certified USB-UART driver for Windows Server 2008

DC fan from Aerco delivers more airflow
New from Aerco is the AD0412XB, one of a new range of DC equipment fans from ADDA that delivers 25% more airflow than its predecessor. Most importantly, this airflow of 4.18 litres/sec (8.9CFM) from the 40mm x 40mm x 10mm fan is achieved against almost double the system pressure making it ideal for modern, densely packaged enclosures where high pressures have to be overcome. This increase in performance is due to a combination of improved ventu...
