Add-on pad can make defibrillators more effective
The Zfib team of Rice senior bioengineering students has created an add-on for automated external defibrillators – aka AEDs – that literally punches through the skin to help deliver a jolt to a person in cardiac arrest.With the help of advisers Eric Richardson, a Rice bioengineering lecturer, and Dr. Mehdi Razavi, a cardiologist at Texas Heart Institute, the students developed a needle-laden pad that can be pressed through both a flex...
Module connect allows connection of electrical cables
With module connect, igus has developed a novel plug-in connector for the connection of electrical cables, fibre-optic cables and pneumatics. Thanks to the modular system, an individual plug-in/separation point can be configured as a module from several plug housings. The system can be mounted on the e-chain, between different e-chains or directly on the switch cabinet and is used wherever a large number of cables are plugged into a small footpri...
Integrating smart vision at transportation checkpoints
congatec hasintroduced its first embedded x86-based MIPI-CSI 2 Kit that eases the integration of embedded vision technology into smart transportation checkpoints, access control and ticketing systems. The instantly deployable, industrial-grade platform is application-ready for the evaluation and deployment in harsh outdoor and in-vehicle environments. Engineers benefit from simplified development and accelerated time to market.
Secure bus communication designed for hanging applications
The world’s first high-tensile Profinet bus cable for vertical applications, such as storage and retrieval equipment has been introduced by igus. The chainflex CFSPECIAL.182.060 bus cable integrates special strain relief elements in the PUR outer jacket, which protects the sensitive bus elements from the high tensile forces.
Smart camera kit designed for rugged vision systems
congatec has introduced its first MIPI-CSI 2 Smart Camera Kit for vision systems at the edge of the IIoT. It is an application-ready kit for the evaluation and deployment of MIPI-CSI 2 based rugged smart camera analytics in harsh industrial, outdoor, and in-vehicle environments. Developers benefit from an instantly deployable industrial-grade smart MIPI-CSI platform.
Lithium batteries power marine and yachting sectors
UK battery company,DBS Leoch, has introduced new Lithium battery technology for the UK marine and yachting sectors. The new Lithium batteries will provide yacht and boat owners with 20 times the life span at a fraction of the weight of standard lead acid batteries.DBS Leoch is the UK distributor for these new Lithium batteries, manufactured by RELiON, the global battery provider.
SiC MOSFETs targeted at industrial and automotive markets
Microsemi Corporation, provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, has announced sampling availability of the first product in its next-generation 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the 40mOhm MSC040SMA120B. The release of the complementary 1200V SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), has also been announced further expanding Microsemi's growing SiC discretes and modules portfolios.
Stretchable electronics could improve stroke recovery treatment
A wearable designed to be worn on the throat could be a game-changer in the field of stroke rehabilitation.Developed in the lab of John Rogers, PhD, professor of Neurological Surgery and at the McCormick School of Engineering, in partnership with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the sensor is the latest in Rogers’ growing portfolio of stretchable electronics that are precise enough for use in advanced medical care and portable enough to be worn out...
Zero gravity graphene could prove useful in space
In a series of experiments, Cambridge researchers experienced weightlessness testing graphene’s application in space.Working as part of a collaboration between the Graphene Flagship and the European Space Agency, researchers from the Cambridge Graphene Centre tested graphene in microgravity conditions for the first time while aboard a parabolic flight – often referred to as the ‘vomit comet’. The experiments they conducted...
