New Scale Technologies, Inc. (www.newscaletech.com) has upgraded the lifetime specification and provided new repeatability data for its miniature M3-F focus module, which replaces fixed lens holders in compact board cameras for biometric detection, medical diagnostics, machine vision and other applications.

Until now, 3D Compasses have typically used non-standard technologies such as magneto-resistive materials or Hall-effect structures combined with magnetic field concentrators to detect the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field. Baolab Microsystems is first to design a pure CMOS Lorentz force MEMS sensor and, as a result, its new 3D Digital NanoCompass™ matches performance benchmarks for sensitivity, power consumption and package siz...

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
