At the first UKIVA Machine Vision Conference on 27thApril in Milton Keynes, SICK UK will be revealing standout developments to its machine vision and imaging capabilities. The conference isset to open new doors for Industry 4.0-ready manufacturing and logistics.

A trio of researchers with Philips Innovative Technologies in Germany has developed a way to magnetically control individual members of a robot swarm. In their paper published in the journalScience Robotics, Jürgen Rahmer, Christian Stehning and Bernhard Gleich describe their approach and the ways they believe it could be used in practical applications.

At APEC 2017, Vishay Intertechnology will be highlighting its latest power MOSFET, IC, passive component, diode, and optoelectronics technologies for a wide range of applications. Product demonstrations in the company's booth will include ENYCAP hybrid energy storage capacitors; low profile, high current inductors; thick film chip resistors and dividers; thin film chip resistors; and surface-mount film resistors.

Availability and full design support capabilities for two new GaN on SiC RF transistors from Qorvo have been announced by Richardson RFPD. The new discrete GaN on SiC HEMTs operate from DC to 4GHz. The QPD1009 is a 15W, 50V device with an output power level of 17W at 2GHz, and a linear gain of 24dB at 2GHz.

The trend throughout the electronics industry towards ever higher packing densities has left its mark on DC/DC converters, as Recom introduces models with 20 to 120W output

Adding to its Inspector 2D vision family, SICK has developed the InspectorP, its first fully user-programmable range of 2D cameras with the performance and flexibility needed for critical vision duties in verification, inspection and quality control.

University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have developed methods to observe gene editing in action, and they’re putting those capabilities to work to improve genetic engineering techniques.“Ultimately, the knowledge we gain from this project has the potential to set the foundation for new preclinical platforms in precision medicine,” says Krishanu Saha, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at UW–Madison a...

Here’s how to build a whirligig: Thread a loop of twine through two holes in a button. Grab the loop ends, then rhythmically pull. As the twine coils and uncoils, the button spins at a dizzying speed.Inspired by a toy, Stanford bioengineers have developed an inexpensive, human-powered blood centrifuge that will enable precise diagnosis and treatment of diseases like malaria, African sleeping sickness and tuberculosis in the poor, off-the-gr...

UK scientists are developing an interactive holographic video created from an MRI or CT scan that can display live footage of internal organs in front of a user where features can be rotated, enlarged, and isolated, delivering a breakthrough in medical imaging and education.Popping in to your local hospital may be much more revealing in as little as three years thanks to engineers at Holoxica Limited, who have invented a moving 3D video hologram.

Tokyo Tech researchers demonstrate operation energy-savings in a low price silicon power transistor structure by scaling down in all three dimensions.In electronics, lower power consumption leads to operation cost savings, environmental benefits and the convenience advantages from longer running devices. While progress in energy efficiencies has been reported with alternative materials such as SiC and GaN, energy-savings in the standard inexpensi...
