An industry showcase page for facilities managers and industrial maintenance engineers has been created by RS Components. The page has been designed to put the spotlight on new innovations, popular product ranges and established technology, all of which have been selected specifically to support the maintenance of large industrial facilities.

Ultrahaptics has been presented with the Innovation Award by the judging panel of the 2016 NMI awards. The NMI awards acknowledge the achievements and behaviours of companies that contribute to a strong and active Electronic Systems industry in the UK and Ireland.Ultrahaptics was founded in 2013 after developing a viable solution to create feeling in mid-air, without the need to wear or touch anything.

Ultrasound is more than sound. Obstetricians use it to peer inside a woman's uterus and observe a growing baby. Surgeons use powerful beams of ultrasound to destroy cancer cells. Researchers fire ultrasound into materials to test their properties. But these high-frequency acoustic waves can do even more.Researchers have now 3D printed a new kind of device that can harness high-pressure ultrasound to move, manipulate, or destroy tiny objects like ...

Designed for insulated nominal voltage measurements in traction applications is the DVM series from LEM.This family of devices spans the range from 600-4200 VRMS and incorporates LEM’s proven and patented insulating technology. Despite achieving very high levels of isolation with a safety insulation voltage of 12kV, the DVM transducer is compact, measuring only 138x63.4x69mm.

Morgan Advanced Materials has produced a type of alumina sensor specially designed for high pressure and high temperature water and sub-metering.The sensor has been specifically developed to withstand extreme temperatures, making it ideally suited to both heat metering and high temperature fluid metering.

The MAXREFDES143 embedded security reference design from Maxim Integrated is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The reference design addresses the many issues related to system security in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) installations, providing protection against counterfeit sensor data, guaranteeing its authenticity and integrity along the entire data chain, from transducer to the cloud.
