At the Red Bull Ring, where high-performance racing cars usually run laps, AT&S presented current trends, challenges and solutions for PCBs and connectivity solutions at the 15th Technology Forum. The choice of venue at the Formula 1 racing circuit highlighted many parallels between the two fields, success in both depends on maximum speed, high efficiency, reliability and innovative cutting-edge technology.

Aviation’s reliance on data to make critical flying decisions increases year on year. The latest aircraft designs now entering fleets are equipped with technologies that can deliver unprecedented collection and transmission of data. Though thousands of sensors and sophisticated digitised systems, the latest generation of aircraft collects enormous amounts of data.

Since the inception of electronic devices there have been radical improvements in performance and miniaturisation. However, the form of electronics has barely changed – typically discrete components are mounted on circuit boards which are put in a box. By Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) are used in electronics applications to improve the efficiency of heat transfer and reduce the operating temperature of a device. They work by improving the conduction of heat through to a heat sink, where the heat is radiated to the surrounding environment by means of convection. Demand for improved thermal management in electronic devices is ever-increasing, particularly in applications where both miniaturisat...

In 1880 the first movie cameras were developed by Thomas Edison and William Dickson. The seed for video surveillance had been planted.During World War 2, miniature portable cameras appeared, making covert surveillance possible for the military.Shortly after, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) was first used in Germany to monitor the launch of V2 rockets.And the rest, as they say, is history.But the history of surveillance is far from over.

Almost all markets are experiencing increasing demand for smaller and thinner electronic devices and the aerospace and automotive industries desire smaller and lighter devices for example to lower fuel costs and reduce emissions. New approaches are needed to meet the increasing demand for smaller and thinner electronic devices.

The latest study indicates that ~ 46,582 KT of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) were sold in 2018, and it is envisaged that the sales will pick pace by ~5% in 2019. The radical increase in the applications of liquid crystal polymer in electronics & electrical industry, which led to ~70% sales of LCP will continue to pace up lucrative growth avenues for market players through 2029.

Pickering has signed a distribution deal with Testco, the specialist distributor of passive, electromechanical and interconnect components based in Sunnyvale, CA. This means that Pickering’s large range of reed relays for A.T.E. switching and semiconductor test is now available and supported by the distributor across North America.

If your cellphone battery runs out, that’s inconvenient. But if your medical implant is without power, that’s a whole different ball game. The risk of running out of juice, particularly due to patients not complying with charging requirements, means that non-rechargeable, primary batteries have been the commonest choice for implanted devices, with lithium-ion rechargeables now taking about 15% of the market. By Kevin Schrantz, Direct...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has taken an equity stake in Akribis Systems, a Singapore based manufacturer of linear servo motors and linear stages,to strengthen its industrial automation solutions for the global market.Mitsubishi Electric, by integrating its servo systems and other industrial automation products with Akribis' product lineup, aims to meet increasing needs for high specification, high precision manufacturing.
