Heat sink device provides non-inductive, high heat dissipation
A heat sink device with enhanced power size ratio, high stability and optimum heat dissipation from Tepro has been introduced by distributor New Yorker Electronics. Typical applications for the TO-220 Non-Inductive, Thick-Film Heat Sink Resistor are switching power supplies and various types of pulse circuits.
Easy to install HCME series comes in a compact design
Supporting the trend towards miniaturisation, HARTING’s new HCME current sensor series can be directly mounted on busbars. This contributes to shorter installation and an easy pre-assembling of power electronics.Despite the limited space requirements – the dimensions of the devices are 6cm in height and 14cm wide – the HCME current sensors measure high currents up to 5500A with highly reliable precision.
Magnetised wire could be used to detect cancer
A magnetic wire used to snag scarce and hard-to-capturetumourcells could prove to be a swift and effective tactic for early cancer detection, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.The wire, which is threaded into a vein, attracts special magnetic nanoparticles engineered to glom ontotumourcells that may be roaming the bloodstream if you have atumoursomewhere in your body.
High torque rotary voice coil actuators
It has been announced that H2W Technologies has developed several high torque rotary voice coil actuators, otherwise known as limited angle torque motors or LATs.
Magnetic 3D-printed structures crawl, roll and jump
MIT engineers have created soft, 3D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like marionettes without the strings.The menagerie of structures that can be magnetically manipulated includes a smooth ring that wrinkles up, a long tube that squeezes shut, a sheet that folds itself, and a spider-like 'grabber' that can crawl, roll, jump, and snap together fast enough to catch a passing ball. It can even be dir...
Bearing solution saves over €130,000 at energy plant
When a UK-based electricity producer was experiencing frequent breakdowns due to bearing failures in two industrial fan units, the plant requested the services of NSK to propose and implement a suitable solution. After performing an application review as part of NSK’s AIP (Added Value Programme), a change of bearing and fixing arrangement led to significant cost savings.
Reference design for proportional-solenoid current sensor
Precision control of automotive proportional solenoids is necessary to achieve the precise control in an automatic transmission, in electronic fuel injectors, and in several automotive actuator applications. In proportional solenoids, the current flowing through the coil is directly oportional to the magnetic field generated. The designer can estimate armature position by knowing the current that is flowing through the solenoid.
Planar-type hall-effect sensors suitable for mobile and IoT devices
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation has announced that it now offers planar-type Hall-effect sensors for foundry customers.The Hall-effect sensor has been adopted by the market for an increasing number of applications, such as smartphone cameras for the closed-loop auto focus feature and for the auto iris function.
Startup offers laser cut lamination stacks
It has been announced that two new members have recently joined the AEMT (The Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades). Nestech, a startup producing laser cut lamination stacks is the second member to join.
Memory enables scalability of embedded solutions for microcontrollers
Innovative non-volatile memory solutions, such as the embedded memories for microcontrollers and Systems on a Chip (SoC), developed by Ferroelectric Memory (FMC), must satisfy increasingly demanding requirements in terms of scalability, number of write cycles and duration of data retention even in extreme environmental conditions.
