A new version of DesignSpark Mechanical, a free-for-download 3D CAD modelling tool has been unveiled by RS Components on the opening day of electronica 2018 in Munich. Now available in Version 4.0 –the first update of the tool for three years –offers new functionality and a more intelligent design engine, as well as delivering faster overall performance.

Power converter designers compete to minimise losses, chasing the last decimal points of efficiency, η, the ratio of output to input power. But when it comes to calculating efficiency in AC-DC power supplies mistakes are often made as a result of omitting or improperly measuring power factor, which is why it is important for designers to understand power factor basics and how to incorporate it.

The military-grade polyurea protective coating designed to provide superior protection from explosions, PAXCON, has been announced by LINE-X, a division of IXS Coatings. PAXCON was recently put through extensive blast-testing equivalent to a car bomb explosion and reportedly proved itself as an effective solution for maintaining structural integrity and reducing the effects of debris following a high-powered explosive detonation.v

Nokia re-released its 3310 last year amid much hype, celebrating one of the pieces of technology that helped define the early 2000s. Indeed, the original is still one of the best-selling mobiles of all time, with only one of Apple’s devices, the iPhone 6, selling more.

Optical fibre can now be found just about anywhere, whether it’s at the top of a communications mast, on a building site or at the bottom of the sea. These delicate strands of glass fibres are the suitable way to transmit information over vast distances at the speed of light, but as the demands for communications in harsh environments increase, so do the requirements for tough fibre optic connectors.
