Rice cooker lid lock features position sensing reed switches
Electric rice cookers are popular appliances that are used for cooking rice. These are pressure cookers that rely on a properly sealed compartment which maintains a high pressure. The pressure built up within the rice cooker compartment can be high enough to blow open the cooker lid if the lid is not properly locked in place when closed.The position sensing lid lock ensures that the lid is securely locked in place.
How magnetic waves heat the Sun
Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast have led an international team to the ground-breaking discovery that magnetic waves crashing through the Sun may be key to heating its atmosphere and propelling the solar wind.The Sun is the source of energy that sustains all life on Earth but much remains unknown about it. However, a group of researchers at Queen’s have now unlocked some mysteries in a research paper, which has been published ...
New digital differential impedance transducer announced
The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products has announced the release of a new eddy current measurement system, the Digital Differential Impedance Transducer (DDIT). The DDIT is designed to provide a digital interface for high speed eddy current measurement systems, with resolution in the micro-inch range, at bandwidths as high as 60kHz. It is suitable for use in applications for fast steering mirrors, magnetic bearing active control, shaf...
An engineering cornucopia of new and enhanced products at MACH
Featuring an engineering cornucopia of new and enhanced products specifically developed and selected to improve the efficiency, productivity and accuracy of just about any machine shop, Leader Chuck Internationals will be at MACH on stand H18-02.
The latest family of fully integrated current sensor ICs
Allegro MicroSystems Europe has announced a new family of current sensor ICs that provide economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing. A 200kHzbandwidth makes it suitable for motor control, load detection and management, power supply and DC/DC converter control, as well as inverter control. The 2.5µs response time enables overcurrent fault detection in safety-critical applications.
High speed electronic weld head provides precise weld force
The Series 300 electronic weld head from AMADA MIYACHI AMERICA offers the precisely controlled weld force profile suitable for miniature parts welding.Originally released more than twenty years ago, there are more than 1000 Series 300 electronic weld heads in use all over the world, with more than half going into operation in the last decade.
Rambus develops hybrid memory system for future data centers
Rambus has announced a collaboration with IBM to research hybrid memory systems. Targeting one of the industry’s key performance challenges, Rambus Labs and IBM aim to optimise the use of DRAM and emerging memories to create a high-capacity memory subsystem that delivers comparable performance to DRAM alone.
Brain scanner allows patients to move freely
A new generation of brain scanner, that can be worn like a helmet allowing patients to move naturally whilst being scanned, has been developed by researchers at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, University of Nottingham and the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, UCL. It is part of a five-year Wellcome funded project which has the potential to revolutionise the world of human brain imaging.
A magnetic power struggle at the heart of solar eruptions
A dramatic magnetic power struggle at the Sun’s surface lies at the heart of solar eruptions, new research using NASA data shows. The work highlights the role of the Sun’s magnetic landscape, or topology, in the development of solar eruptions that can trigger space weather events around Earth.
The radio echoes of a black hole feeding on a star
On the 11th of November, 2014, a global network of telescopes picked up signals from 300 million light years away that were created by a tidal disruption flare — an explosion of electromagnetic energy that occurs when a black hole rips apart a passing star. Since this discovery, astronomers have trained other telescopes on this very rare event to learn more about how black holes devour matter and regulate the growth of galaxies.
