Eight product ranges to be launched at electronica
Provider of performance engineered interconnection and enclosures, CamdenBoss, is launching a host of products at electronica 2016 (8thto 11thNovember 2016, Messe, Munich) including DIN-rail mounted terminal blocks, IP68 connectors, integrated LED panel mount indicators with test circuits, control enclosures, control switches, ultrasonic transducers and solar panels.
Haptic feedback technology company is Start Up of the Year
Mid-air haptic feedback technology company, Ultrahaptics, have been awarded the Start Up of the Year award by the judging panel of the 2016 British Engineering Excellence Awards (BEEAs). The BEEAs recognise companies who have demonstrated significant innovation in engineering design within the last 12 months.
Metamaterial uses light to control its motion
Researchers have designed a device that uses light to manipulate its mechanical properties. The device, which was fabricated using a plasmomechanical metamaterial, operates through a unique mechanism that couples its optical and mechanical resonances, enabling it to oscillate indefinitely using energy absorbed from light.This work demonstrates a metamaterial-based approach to develop an optically-driven mechanical oscillator.
Wireless pressure transducers eliminate hard wiring
The Microfused line of M5600 wireless pressure transducers and the UltraStable lineof U5600 wireless pressure transducers are available at Mouser Electronics. These 24-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) pressure and temperature sensors eliminate the need for hard wiring by providing wireless remote process control and monitoring through Bluetooth 4.0 communication.
A new deal for the smartphone industry?
Yole Développement (Yole) expects a smartphone market volume CAGR of 6.4% between 2015 and 2021 and projects the market will attain a value of $420bn by 2017. In its latest MEMS & Sensors report titled Sensors for Cellphones & Tablets 2016, Yole proposes its vision of the past and future evolution of sensor technology in the highly competitive and valuable smartphone market.
Accelerometers offer 10kHz frequency response on all three axes
PCB Piezotronics has announced a new design of triaxial accelerometer which offers frequency response of 10kHz on all three axes (competitive products typically offer upper frequency response from 5 to 8kHz but often have different responses on one of the three axes). Model 356A45 accelerometers also feature 100mV/g sensitivity with measurement range of ±50gPK and are housed in a titanium package measuring just 10.2x10.2x10.2mm.
New synergy linecards at electronica 2016
With the slogan ‘Accelerating Global Innovation’ Fujitsu Electronics Europe (FEEU) will be attending this year’s electronica in Munich from 8th-11th November (hall B1, booth 425).FEEU will be there informing businesses about the current supplier portfolio and range of product linecards, developed by the value added distribution partner for key sectors such as the automotive, industrial, medical and wellness and telecommunication...
Cleaning and contamination systems at SMTAI
Gen3 Systems is to exhibit with Ascentech at SMTA International and will show the GensonicStencil Cleaning, system with a 24in stencil frame. The system uses a 40kHz on-contact ultrasonic transducer for high efficiency cleaning of stencil apertures. The Gensonic can be used either in conjunction with Gen3 stencil cleaning centres or is portable enough to be taken directly to the printer.
The fourth weapon in the battle against cancer
It’s a sad truth that there are few people who haven’t been impacted by cancer in its various forms. However, a pioneering therapy that has been developed by oncology company Novocure, has tipped the scales in the fight against brain tumours. Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush finds out more and talks to a cancer survivor who has benefited from Tumor Treating Fields, or TTFields therapy.
Acoustic holograms could improve ultrasound diagnostics
Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart have found a way of generating acoustic holograms, which could improve ultrasound diagnostics and material testing. The holograms can also be used to move and manipulate particles.Peer Fischer, a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Professor at the University o...
