DIN-rail enclosures showcased at Southern Manufacturing
Provider of performance engineered interconnection and enclosures,CamdenBoss, is showing its latest products at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2017 (FIVE, Farnborough, UK, 21st-23rdMarch) including a range of DIN-rail enclosures enabling quick and easy contact with a powered 'active' track within theDIN-railand a range of IP68 waterproof connectors.
Energy harvester produces power from local environment
Recent advances in ultralow power microcontrollers have produced devices that offer unprecedented levels of integration for the amount of power they require to operate. These are systems on a chip with aggressive power saving schemes, such as shutting down power to idle functions. In fact, so little power is needed to run these devices that many sensors are going wireless, since they can readily run from batteries.
Stepping up with factory calibration capabilities
After the temporary closure of one the UK’s load cell calibration laboratories, sensor specialists Interface Force Measurements has taken a step up and is offering a cost-effective calibration and repair service from Interface Inc’s ISO 17025 accredited lab.
Company receives environmental management approvals
The accreditation for the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard as well as ISO14001:2015 for environmental management systems has been awarded to Variohm EuroSensor.The implementation and award of these approvals also includes Variohm´s sister company, Ixthus Instrumentation, who provide design and build of customised test and measurement systems.
A big nano boost for solar cells
"Current solar cells are not good at converting visible light to electrical power. The best efficiency is only around 20%," explains Kyoto University's Takashi Asano, who uses optical technologies to improve energy production.Higher temperatures emit light at shorter wavelengths, which is why the flame of a gas burner will shift from red to blue as the heat increases.
On-chip sensor detects nanoscale changes in the environment
Chip scale high precision measurements of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and refractive index have become common with nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics resonance cavities.
Switching regulators to supply microprocessors
The RECOM R420-1.8/PL switching regulators has been developed specifically for supplying microprocessors from 4-20mA loop. Characteristics of the flat module include extremely low idle power along with high efficiency.
