Major US orders announced at the Satellite 2018 exhibition
Provider of high grade information security and communication capabilities,Spectra Group has announcedthe receipt of a series of significant North American orders for SlingShot, Spectra’s BLOS COTM (Beyond Line Of Sight Communications On The Move) system for tactical radios. Already popular with specialist users in the US, in the run up to Satellite 2018 Spectra Group has received a total of 12 separate orders with a combined value of over ...
Organic thin film achieves power conversion efficiency of 13%
Scientists from the Imperial College London, Monash University, CSIRO, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have reported an organic thin film for solar cells with a non-fullerene small molecule acceptor that achieved a power conversion efficiency of just over 13%.By replacing phenylalkyl side chains in indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based non-fullerene acceptor (ITIC) with simple linear chains to form C8-ITIC, they improved t...
A revolution in remote medical consultation
Leman Micro Devices has announced that its V-Sensor and App integrated with next-generation smartphones will assist diagnosis by physicians and drive growth in remote medical consultation services by enabling patients to self-measure their own vital signs with medical accuracy for online appointments with doctors.
Faultless data transfer despite interference
With the available frequencies increasingly used up, the communication industry faces some big challenges: Demand is growing for wireless communication systems that work faultlessly even when coexistence and interference problems arise. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has developed digitally tunable radio frequency filters (RF filters) that provide dynamic access to a variety of frequencies without any delay.
What part do DC motors play in the medical industry?
With DC motors as small 4mm it’s not surprising that 45% of maxon motor’s business is from the medical industry. Patrick Vega, Technical Engineer at maxon motor uk, discusses some of the applications that maxon have featured in.
SpaceX competition: Hyperloop capsule enters second final round
With their Swissloop concept,ETH Zurich students have won the SpaceX competition of US entrepreneur Elon Musk against thousands of other teams. Now, in the summer of 2018, the Swiss will once again be able to prove themselves in the next round with their enhanced capsule. The Swissloop project is supported by Leybold. The vacuum pioneer has been promoting the Hyperloop projects of the technology revolutionary since 2015 with its vacuum know-how.
Stellar vice guarantees precision machining
Committed to making bikes and cycling cooler than ever, an engineering company has added a cutting edge work holding vice from WDS Component Parts to its high tech manufacturing operation in Lincoln.Twenty years ago bikes were only for people who could not pass their driving test, but since then the likes of Chris Hoy, Dave Brailsford and Victoria Pendleton have so completely changed perceptions that even Boris Johnson cannot tarnish their image.
Computer code optimises modelling of stellar explosions
Neutron stars consist of the densest form of matter known: a neutron star the size of Los Angeles can weigh twice as much as our sun. Astrophysicists don't fully understand how matter behaves under these crushing densities, let alone what happens when two neutron stars smash into each other or when a massive star explodes, creating a neutron star.One tool scientists use to model these powerful phenomena is the "equation of state."
To avoid liability ensure proper tipper maintenance
Did you know it is the operatorsof commercial vehicles who are responsible for ensuring vehicles are properly maintained and all equipment, including tipping gear, is in good working order, under health and safety legislation.Operators could arguably be defined as the vehicle’s owner, the fleet manager or the driver, so to avoid the pitfalls of tipper maintenance and protect your fleet, follow a few simple steps we have for you here.
