Inline test system short set-up time cuts costs
The Leon Inline Tiny from Konrad Technolgies is a cost effective, high volume manufacturing inline test system for In-circuit Test, Functional Test, Boundary Scan with up to 1500 test points. This high-volume manufacturing inline test system integrates well with high standard board handling equipment, including conveyors and short stations and is suitable for straightforward integration into production or testing lines.
Maximising machine efficiency with new IoT technology
An Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled condition monitoring device has been developed by a wireless sensor company to help engineers more effectively observe changes in machinery.The sensor, named BluVib, which was developed by Sensor-Works with assistance from CENSIS, the Scottish Innovation Centre for Sensor and Imaging Systems, can be fixed to rotating equipment to record vibration and temperature data wirelessly via the IoT.
Indoor base stations awarded to help bring IoT apps to market
Kerlink has announced the winning applications in the recent Tele2 IoT Challenge underscore both the practical benefits of the LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) LoRaWAN network and the freedom it gives makers to create new applications.The company also presented the three winners its LoRaWAN iFemtoCell indoor base station to speed their entry in the fast-growing, worldwide LoRaWAN ecosystem.
E-chain system now available for rapid configuration and delivery
Offering a space-saving and cost-effective solution for applications requiring vertically suspended cable management, igus now offer standard ‘zig-zag’ energy chain modules. Suitable for stage technology and hydraulic aerial work platforms, this innovative solution was previously available as a custom order, but new standardised, modular designs enable faster delivery and lower cost.
Noise-cancelling technology selected for its stylish headphones
AS3435 active noise cancellation IC from ams provides more than 28dB of noise attenuation and very low harmonic distortion in on-ear head-phones.The ams noise-cancelling technology is an integral component in the FIIL Diva Pro high-end headphones which recently won a CES 2017 Innovation Award.
Record time revamp in Russia
SMS group has been granted the final acceptance certificate for the modernised tandem cold mill ‘2100’, by steel producer PAO Severstal at the Cherepovets facility in northwest Russia, and the revamp was completed in a short time.The mill upgrade by SMS group comprised the complete replacement of the entry section and the four mill stands, and the installation of rolling technologies of the latest generation.
Everything's relative: Renowed genius lends his weight to refrigeration system
The team at SolarCool Energy are drawing inspiration from one of Albert Einstein’s inventions to produce a refrigeration system that even seasoned engineers in the refrigeration industry didn’t believe was physically possible. SolarCool’s Sales Director, Roger Shenton, said how its approach can reduce energy requirements in commercial refrigeration by up to 70%.
Self-assembly technique could lead to smaller microchip patterns
For the last few decades, microchip manufacturers have been on a quest to find ways to make the patterns of wires and components in their microchips ever smaller, in order to fit more of them onto a single chip and thus continue the relentless progress toward faster and more powerful computers. That progress has become more difficult recently, as manufacturing processes bump up against fundamental limits involving, for example, the wavelengths of...
Researchers demonstrate latest type of laser
A team of researchers led by Leo Kouwenhoven at TU Delft has demonstrated an on-chip microwave laser based on a fundamental property of superconductivity, the ac Josephson effect. They embedded a small section of an interrupted superconductor, a Josephson junction, in a carefully engineered on-chip cavity. Such a device opens the door to many applications in which microwave radiation with minimal dissipation is key, for example in controlling qub...
Phenomenon accelerates electrons as they enter a viscous state
A finding by physicists at MIT and in Israel shows that under certain specialised conditions, electrons can speed through a narrow opening in a piece of metal more easily than traditional theory says is possible.
