Essemtec Provides High-Resolution SPI for Printing and Dispensing Processes
Traqu is a high-resolution digital 3-D inspection device from Essemtec used for 3-D measurement and analysis in processes such as solder paste inspection (SPI). Measurement tasks are programmed with a few mouse clicks, and DXF and Gerber data can be imported.
CodeMeter industrial memory cards offer comprehensive software protection
Swissbit presents the new high-quality 'CodeMeter' memory cards for the industrial market, featuring high-level software protection and security against product piracy. They are the result of a successful cooperation between Swiss memory specialist Swissbit, software protection and licensing expert Wibu-Systems, and Hyperstone, a leading vendor of Flash controllers.
Miniature shielded power inductors handle as much current as larger coils
The new PFL4514 Series Shielded Power Inductors from Coilcraft allow circuit designers to increase board density without sacrificing efficiency. These wirewound surface-mount inductors require a mere 16 mm² of board space and are just 1.4 mm high. Current handling of up to 4.2 Amps compares to much larger inductors. Magnetic shielding provides more design flexibility by permitting tighter component spacing without electromagnetic interference.
Endomagnetics Raises Additional Funding and Opens Cambridge Office
Endomagnetics has raised additional funding, taking the sum raised in the last few months to £1.8 million. The Company has also announced a move to Cambridge as it expands its operations. Endomagnetics is a spin out from University College London (UCL), and is developing advanced magnetic sensors originally developed at UCL and at the University of Houston.
Omnipolar Hall switches from Diodes Inc
Diodes Incorporated has introduced two low voltage Omnipolar parts that substantially reduce power consumption in battery-powered, hand-held devices and dramatically simplify production processes. Uses include contact-less lid or display orientation and position detection tasks in notebooks, mobile phones, digital still cameras and camcorders.
Hall-effect switch features low power consumption for battery-operated applications
The new A1171 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is an ultra-sensitive micropower Hall-effect switch with latched digital outputs and either unipolar or omnipolar actuation. It features operation at low supply currents and voltages, making it ideal for battery-operated applications in portable or handheld communications and computer equipment.
Compact OCR reader from Access IS makes light work of passport data capture
Access IS has announced a low power, compact and lightweight optical character reader (OCR) for passports, identity cards and other OCR-B encoded cards. Called the OCR312, it connects via USB (with type A, mini and micro USB cable options) to most popular handheld portable tablets, data terminals and standard PCs. The OCR312’s low power consumption and ability to revert to sleep mode enable it to operate efficiently with battery powered devices...
Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT)- Create your own laser cooled atomic cloud
OPTICA Photonics AG offers now in cooperation with ColdQuanta Inc. the first commercial MOT kit. A magneto-optical trap (MOT) – the most popular laser cooling and trapping setup – requires a vacuum system with optical access that contains the atomic species to be trapped and a magnetic quadrupole field.
NXP is First to Market with Pure Analog AMR Angle Sensor for Brushless DC Motor Control
NXP Semiconductors N.V. today announced the KMZ60, the industry’s first magnetoresistive angle sensor with integrated amplifier IC. The NXP sensor uses AMR technology (AMR: anisotropic magnetoresistive) and is designed as a low cost, high-performance control device for brushless DC motor (BLDC) commutation. NXP expects that this new sensor will drive uptake of BLDC motor-based applications, particularly in the automotive sector.
Delphi Developing Wireless In-Vehicle Device Charging
Delphi Automotive will display its Wireless Device Charging System at the Consumer Electronics Show next week. Currently under development, the system transmits power over distance to deliver a charge without precise positioning of the electronic device receiving the charge. It would eliminate the clutter, inconvenience and distractions associated with multiple charging cords in the vehicle cabin and replace them with a safe, convenient and effic...
