Lithuanian medical company, Ortho Baltic is the first manufacturer of patient-specific, temporomandibular joint endoprostheses in the Baltic States and one of only three in Europe.The implants replace loss or lack of functionality of jaw movement. To underpin their production, the firm invested in 2012 in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology and recently acquired CT (Computed Tomography) inspection equipment from Nikon Metrology for quality con...

The traditional interface for remotely operating robots works just fine for roboticists. They use a computer screen and mouse to independently control six degrees of freedom, turning three virtual rings and adjusting arrows to get the robot into position to grab items or perform a specific task.But for someone who isn’t an expert, the ring-and-arrow system is cumbersome and error-prone. It’s not ideal, for example, for older people tr...

DesignSpark Mechanical 3D modelling software tool from RS Components (RS) was used in the development of the ‘Daedalus’ jet-engine flight suit, which was demonstrated at a recent TED conference in Vancouver. The ‘Daedalus’ flight suit is the brainchild of Richard Browning, who early last year began working on his vision to create a viable anti-gravity jet-engine suit, as well as building a company that could re-imagine hum...

At NEPCON China on 25th-27thApril 2017 at the Shanghai World EXPO Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, China, on booth 1J25,Saki will demonstrate the advanced capabilities and new Extra Component Detection (ECD) feature of its BF-3Di 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems.

DELO has introduced an adhesive for optoelectronic applications. Called DUALBOND OB786, it is particularly suited for fixing components within seconds while ensuring precision and high strength.After an irradiation time of less than one second, the build-up of adhesion is already significant; after five seconds, the compression shear strength on glass even reaches 18 MPa

Dr. Adam Pawlowski, Principal Engineer for Cooling at Pentair Technical Solutions talks about the prevention of excessive heat build-up and targeted heat dissipation.

An oscillator in the advanced tiny package of just 1.2 x 2.0 x 0.7 mm has been announced by Micro Crystal, a leading provider of quartz crystals, oscillators, OCXOs and Real-Time Clocks for the world's leading electronics industry now offers the popular. This hermetically sealed package hosts the integrated circuit together with the XTAL. It withstands harsh environmental condition.

Theorem Solutions of Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK, has announced the release of the latest Visualize 3D CATIA V5 to JT product.V19.4 supports CATIA V5 R19, R20, R21 and CATIA V5-6R2012 to CATIA V5-6R2016, as well as all versions of JT, up to and including JT file format version 10.0Theorem’s Visualize 3D products are aimed at creating visualisation data for users of digital mock-up, virtual reality or desktop applications.

A study on the grooming habits of bees has given new physical insight into the process of pollination, and could have implications for future MEMS.Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, USA, and Kiel University in Germany, examined how pollenating insects that purposely cover themselves with millions of pollen particles get clean enough to fly.Their study, published in the journalBioinspriation and Biomimetics, found tha...

How would you learn geometry without seeing the shapes? How would you calculate Pythagoras’ lengths without seeing the measurements? MIT graduate students Pranay Jain and Anshul Singhal asked these questions, seeking to address the fact that most blind students drop out of math and science after 8th grade because content becomes unavailable and the laboratory becomes inaccessible.
