Flow sensor solutions in modern medical ventilators
Continuous airflow measurements during anesthesia monitoring, intensive care treatment as well as in clinical and ambulatory environments provide important information for the assessment of cardiorespiratory and breathing circuit behavior and have become indispensable in modern medicine.90 years after the first use of the iron lung, we are now dealing with mechanical ventilation systems that supply the patient with breathing gas by means of mecha...
Apollo 11: A future in space, thanks to our past
A chorus of alarms serenaded the nervous astronauts as theEaglelunar module descended toward the moon’s surface. The tension was palpable, and the shrill ringing only added to their worries. Guest blog written byRanjan Sikand, Wind River Intern.
Tips for precise dispensing of small amounts of two-part adhesives
When dispensing small amounts of two-part adhesives or other materials, two key considerations are whether the material is mixed correctly and the accuracy of the amount dispensed. Here Paul Whitehead, Key Account Manager at Intertronics, shares his thoughts on the precise metering, mixing and dispensing of small amounts of two-part materials.
Pulse laser with potential to tackle nuclear waste threat
The global success of TV mini-series Chernobyl reminded the world of the dire consequences that poorly managed nuclear power could bring. Even though the production of nuclear power emits considerably less greenhouse gas compared to fossil fuel-powered plants, it remains a potential threat to the environment.
Aerospace silicones offer thermal protection solutions
Momentive have just published two new product selection guides for their aerospace silicone adhesive sealants.They are ‘Silicone RTVs for Low Outgassing Applications’, advanced silicones that deliver outstanding performance with minimal outgassing, and ‘Silicone RTV’s for Thermal Protection Systems’, a broad range of advanced silicone RTVs that can perform in the most extreme conditions.
Using a Device Firmware Monitor (DFM) to deal with software bugs
Johan Kraft, CEO and Founder of Percepio, introduces a new solution that leverages cloud connectivity to root out software bugs after device deployment.Computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra once said, “Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence”. Despite developers testing their software as much as possible, they just can’t prove that bugs don’t exist in the system.
Living and working in space with radiation
Living and working in space requires human perseverance.
Developing electronics for missions to Mars and Jupiter
Specialists in visualisation in debugging technology for electronic circuits and systems, Concept Engineering, has announced that NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will use Concept Engineering’s E-engine and EEvision system visualisation software to develop electronics for space missions to Mars and Jupiter moon Europa.
Using modern robotics in the UK's nuclear clean-up operation
Since the UK’s first power station was connected to the grid in 1957, the UK have been pioneers in nuclear technology. However, in those post-World War II days, the nuclear industry wasn’t designed with decommissioning in mind.
