Piezo Ceramic Discs are the "Heart" of the Sensors
Automated industrial production of industrial goods in the highest quality would not be conceivable without ultrasonic sensors. They are indispensable in automation and among other things, are used for measuring distance and filling levels, for attendance monitoring or level adjustment. They check the gap between objects and therefore supply state variables for control. Therefore, the transducers are always the most important components in an ult...
Cree to deliver five presentations at ECCE 2015
Cree is delivering five technical presentations at the seventh annual IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE 2015), which will take place from 20th to 24th September, 2015 at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal. ECCE 2015 will provide practicing engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs and other professionals from the electrical and electromechanical energy conversion industries with a wide variety of interactive and multidisciplinary ...
Global Tech Tour introduces a single-chip Bluetooth Smart solution
Nordic Semiconductor announces the second edition of its popular Global Tech Tour. Following the successful event held in 2012, which covered the nRF51 series SoCs, the company is introducing embedded application development engineers to its nRF52 series SoCs, powerful Bluetooth Smart/ANT/2.4GHz ULP wireless connectivity solutions that redefined single-chip Bluetooth Smart when introduced in June 2015.
Chocolate physics
Lecithin plays a vital role in the production of chocolate and many other foods. It’s never been clear how this ingredient works on a molecular level, and confectioners have relied on observational methods to perfect their recipes.
Strange magnetic behaviour has quantum computing potential
An exotic kind of magnetic behavior, driven by the mere proximity of two materials, has been analysed by a team of researchers at MIT and elsewhere, using a technique called spin-polarised neutron reflectometry. They say the finding could be used to probe a variety of exotic physical phenomena, and could ultimately be used to produce key components of future quantum computers.
Google helps calculate the best solar plan for you
As the price of installing solar has gotten less expensive, more homeowners are turning to it as a possible option for decreasing their energy bill. Google want to make installing solar panels easy and understandable for anyone. Project Sunroof puts Google's expansive data in mapping and computing resources to use, helping calculate the best solar plan for users.
Precise control over throttle actuation
An electronic throttle actuator that offers precise control over throttle actuation to help optimise induction systems has been released by Jenvey Dynamics. The device is highly modular, making it compatible with a large range of aftermarket Independent Throttle Body (ITB) kits for road or race applications.
Tiny wires, great potential
Harvard scientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method of creating a class of nanowires that one day could have applications in areas ranging from consumer electronics to solar panels.
Production tester accelerates GNSS solutions
A speed-optimised production tester - the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz, is equipped with the R&S SMBV-P101 package. During production testing of modules and receivers for satellite-based communications, the basic GNSS signal reception and the connection between the antenna and GNSS chipset need to be checked.
Processing paves way for volume optical device production
Researchers at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), part of the Zepler Institute, have successfully fabricated and characterised large-area 2D films of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) at room temperature using a process which is scalable to any size wafer.
