Time of flight solutions suit IoT and AR applications
The MOD_CH101 ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensor module and DK-CH101 SmartSonic platform from InvenSense, a TDK Group company is available at Mouser Electronics. The ToF solutions offer fast and accurate range measurement with ultra-low power consumption, and are capable of detecting objects of any size, colour, and transparency.
Printing 3D embedded sensors in electrical packaging
Nano Dimension has announced that one of its customers, the Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies (CBN) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), is using the DragonFly additive manufacturing system to 3D print embedded sensors in electrical packaging.
Optical rotary torque sensors suitable for low torque
Sensor Technology has set new benchmark performance standards for optical rotary torque transducers, with the launch of the digital ORT 230/240 series. These new optical rotary torque sensors are well suited for applications when the demand is for low torque and/or high bandwidth, providing precise, dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque of less than 100Nm and for bandwidths of up to 50kHz.
Mouser strengthens sensor solutions offering
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with Amphenol SSI, a designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensing solutions for the global automotive and industrial markets.
Torque hand tools suit safety critical applications
A series of battery-powered torque hand tools from Norbar Torque Tools has been introduced by RS Components. The EvoTorque Battery Tool (EBT) series has been specifically designed to deliver improved performance and data traceability in safety-critical and heavy industrial operations.
Complex microwave feed assembly for mobile satcom antenna system
Link Microtek has designed and fabricated a complex microwave feed assembly for use in a customer’s Ku-band mobile satellite-communications antenna system. The mobile antenna systems provide a durable and quickly deployable solution for anyone requiring reliable satellite communications facilities in remote locations.
Keeping trains moving; meeting new technology demands
A key element of the propulsion system for low speed urban transportation to high speed intercity trains is the traction converter that transforms the power from the power source, whether a catenary or diesel engine, to drive the electric motors. By Michel Ghilardi, LEM Research & Development Senior Engineer
Danisense opens DC calibration test lab
A DC calibration test lab has been established by Danisense at its Danish headquarters and manufacturing site in Taastrup. A free service for its high voltage 500V and 10,000V products, units are 100% tested and shipped with a Certificate of Calibration which details the actual current error (always significantly less than the ppm values specified in the datasheet), the error without offset and the linearity error.
Energy harvesting for 'net-zero-power' IoT devices
NB‑IoT and other low power wide area technologies have made ten year battery lives a reality in applications with minimal data transmission. Others need some extra power, which is precisely where energy harvesting fits in. Imagine an IoT device that performs year in, year out, powered by a steady drip of power scavenged from its immediate surroundings.
