Industries that employ micro dosing technology such as pharmaceuticals, medical applications and inkjet printing represent a diverse variety of applications. What is essential is that the most appropriate design and materials choice can be made for each one. Author: Tony Brennan, Field Segment Manager Gas & Micro for Bürkert Fluid Control Systems.

The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products has announced the availability of its line of Extreme Environment high precision displacement sensors and systems. With their proven design and rugged all-welded and hermetic construction, the sensors and systems are suited for rocket and turbine engine validation testing.

Engineers at Duke University have developed a way to manipulate, split and mix droplets of biological fluids by having them surf on acoustic waves in oil. The technology could form the basis of a small-scale, programmable, rewritable biomedical chip that is completely reusable for disparate purposes from on-site diagnostics to laboratory-based research.The study appears in the journalNature Communications.

An ultrasonic SoC contains Rx and Tx channels to interface with the ultrasonic transducer. The SoC uses time-of-flight to calculate level and is responsible for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasound has a very old history. The ecosystem is mature and there are numerous applications and technologies. As part of this ultrasound industry, the semiconductor technologies supporting micromachined ultrasonic transducers were developed a long while ago, but the market never responded.

Siemens Healthineers has announced the launch of its ultrasound system, the Acuson Sequoia. The Acuson Sequoia, a general imaging ultrasound system, was developed in response to one of the most prevalent challenges in ultrasound imaging today: the imaging of different sized patients with consistency and clarity. With its Deep Abdominal Transducer (DAX), a new high-powered architecture, and updates to elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound,...

Flowmeter technology has made some significant steps in the past few years. While the traditional mechanical systems have remained relatively unchanged, the development of ultrasonic, sonar and magnetic systems has progressed significantly.Bürkert for example has developed a flowmeter in which none of the components are in direct contact with the fluid and which causes no restriction to flow.

A fast measurement speed, achieved within tight cost and size constraints while integrating the primary conductor in SO packages without compromising the necessary insulation, is often as critical as the other high performances for current measurement in motor-drive applications. Therefore LEM has introduced the GO miniature transducers, which have been designed to achieve a 2µs response time from 2 standard, cost-effective SO8 or SO16 pack...

Specialist industrial motor manufacturer Solutions Engineering in Stoke on Trent is able to test the performance of its motors, having built a test station to its own specification based around a piezo electric torque transducer.It manufactures a range of bespoke slip ring motors for driving equipment such as vibrators and pumps, currently in sizes 4kW to 55kW but with plans for larger units in the future.

Burster, the German measurement technology specialist represented in the UK by Ixthus Instrumentation, has released a series of instructional videos that show configuration and application examples for its DIGIFORCE 9311 force and displacement controller and the 9250/51 series transducer amplifier and bus controller.
