Chemical engineers talk sense about mixer efficiencies
The School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Sciences at Manchester University is developing technology in energy efficiency in the process industries, and researchers have incorporated TorqSense transducers into a test rig that is analysing losses in in-line mixers.
Aqueous system chosen to clean nuclear components
Derbyshire-based Paul Fabrications, a Unitech Aerospace company, has been used for both aqueous and solvent systems for a long time to wash machined, pressed and fabricated stainless steel components for its customer, Springfields Fuels, near Preston, which supplies fuel pellets for advanced gas-cooled reactors in the UK.
Wireless sensors keep marine steering on course
TorqSense wireless sensors from Sensor Technology are playing an important role in new product development for Hydraulic Projects Limited (Hy-Pro), one of the UK’s developers and suppliers of hydraulic drive units for marine steering and autopilot systems. The sensors, which accurately measure shaft torque in rotary drive systems, are providing the essential data that Hy-Pro needs to refine the design of the electrically powered pump assemb...
App-based ultrasound system receives FDA clearance
Healcerion, based in South Korea, was the first company to receive FDA clearance for their wireless, app-based ultrasound system back in 2015. The work done by South Korean engineers and scientists laid the foundation for the development of an ultrasound transducer that works with most smartphones or tablets. Since introducing the SONON 300C convex transducer, the company has been making progress to further advance this branch of ultrasound devic...
Data acquisition software allows simultaneous sampling of 48 channels
The Micro-Measurements brand of Vishay Precision Group has announced the global market launch of its StrainSmart 9000 dynamic data acquisition software. The software allows for the simultaneous sampling of up to 48 channels, at speeds of up to 50,000 samples per second, with fast, easy setup and minimal-to-no downtime.
Sensors for the IoT age
Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development and Technical Marketing, Farnell element14, highlights the importance of choosing the right sensor.
Piezoelectrics stretch their potential
Piezoelectric materials are used for applications ranging from the spark igniter in barbeque grills to the transducers needed by medical ultrasound imaging. Thin-film piezoelectrics, with dimensions on the scale of micrometers or smaller, offer potential for new applications where smaller dimensions or a lower voltage operation are required.
Power analyser offers voltage and current accuracy of 0.1%.
The new source for ITECH Electronic a global manufacturer dedicated to finding test solutions for power electronic instruments is Aspen Electronics. The ITECH products find applications in testing power supplies, household appliances, UPS, electronics and motors etc. The IT9121 power analyser is one of their star products and combines high quality with performance.
'Converter' initiates breakthrough in data processing at nanoscale
Advancement in nanoelectronics, which is the use of nanotechnology in electronic components, has been fueled by the ever-increasing need to shrink the size of electronic devices in a bid to produce smaller, faster and smarter gadgets such as computers, memory storage devices, displays and medical diagnostic tools.
Torque sensor plays critical role in collecting drone data
Designed to put the next generation of controls for medium altitude long endurance (MALE) drones through their paces, a test rig is being developed by an independent electronics design company on the Welsh borders.Although this rig is being developed just for this project and will be dismantled after use, the precision torque sensor which performs the critical task of collecting data from the rig for analysis will almost certainly be reused on su...
