Human error is still the greatest risk factor on the roads: Driver mistakes were found to be the cause of over 80 percent of all accidents involving personal injuries in Germany in 2010 according to the German Federal Statistical Office. Advanced driver assistance systems can offer remedies. On the one hand they can support the driver in demanding and difficult situations and on the other hand develop room for freedom during monotonous driving si...

Delphi Automotive is supplying innovative technologies to a significant number of new vehicles introduced at this year's IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. From diesel and gasoline engine management systems to active safety technology and thermal innovations to electrical/electronic distribution systems, Delphi is working to help drivers stay safe and remain connected while lessening the environmental impact of the vehicle they drive.

Ocean Optics has added triggering functions to its Maya2000 Pro back-thinned CCD miniature spectrometer to provide accurate timing and synchronization between the spectrometer and other devices. Three low-jitter trigger and normal operating modes are now possible. Applications include pulsing a light source to occur when acquiring a spectra and synchronizing spectral acquisition to coordinate with samples moving through a process stream or senso...

Oxford YASA Motors is finding that a TorqSense non-contact speed and torque sensor from Sensor Technology is an invaluable aid in the refinement of its world-leading motor designs. Used in a test rig to evaluate prototype motors, the sensor provides accurate and dependable real time information in a readily accessible format.

Honeywell Power Products has witnessed a strong seasonal trend in demand for its weatherproof supplies, made to power video, access control and intrusion systems. Attributed to preparations for impending storm and cold weather seasons, recent sales of Honeywell’s weatherproof power products for added protection of outdoor security systems, have doubled month-over-month.

Power supply expert TDK-Lambda EMEA has introduced a 60W model into its PXF family of DC-DC converters. The new PXF60 operates from a 2:1 input and is ideal for datacom, telecom, instrumentation and test & measurement applications.

Calibrating the Model S4000CH Combustible Gas Detector with a remotely-installed sensor is now easier than ever with the new Automatic Remote Gas Calibrator (ARGC) from General Monitors. The ARGC addresses the need for more convenient and expedient maintenance routines by allowing calibration gas to be applied to the catalytic bead sensor from easily accessible locations.

Dual line scan architecture doubles image sensor responsivity without shot noise penalty. Machine vision performance requirements always increase. Over the last decade, feature sizes in applications such as semiconductor wafer inspection have shrunk by a factor of 3.3 in each dimension (~10.8x overall), while wafer areas have grown by a factor of 2.25 (from 200 mm to 300 mm lines) even though wafer throughputs in wafers per hour have remained the...

Designing and building special purpose machines for assembly applications, can be a daunting prospect given the ever increasing demands for speed, reliability and output. The risks of failing to achieve one or more of these objectives, is significantly increased when conventional pneumatically operated devices are used. Pneumatically operated assembly machines require complex control systems and an array of sensors, which in turn are highly susce...

Phoenix Contact and TraceParts have announced today that Phoenix Contact products due to go on show at Electronica 2010 will be made available in all the most popular native and neutral CAD formats.
