Event to showcase the Internet of People
On 15thDecemberin Eindhoven, internationally renowned speakers and IoT enthusiasts will gather to debate the way our increasingly digitised society develops in the context of the entirely new internet emerging.It will not be an Internet of Things event, but an Internet of People event, in which the citizen/individual is the key.
Cables guaranteed to run reliably when hot and cold
Guaranteed temperature ratings for all chainflex cables operating in fixed and moving applications are now provided by igus, as well as for cables in energy chains.The announcement follows the installation of a second climatic test chamber during the company’s recent test lab extension in Cologne, Germany.
The first step on the road to efficiency
Tony Young, Owner Director of supply and repair specialist CP Automation, explained how easy it can be to make industrial applications more energy efficient by using regenerative braking.
Parallel guidance of corrugated tube with e-chain
Enhancing the E4.1 modular e-chain system, igus provides a solution for guiding corrugated tube in parallel.Named E4.1 TUB, the new side sections of the outer links have a clip that enables PMAClips to be easily attached. In this way, a corrugated tube can be routed in parallel to an energy chain quickly and without tools.
Quantum course changes material from superconductor to insulator
Researchers from Brown University have demonstrated an unusual method of putting the brakes on superconductivity, the ability of a material to conduct an electrical current withzero resistance.The research shows that weak magnetic fields—far weaker than those that normally interrupt superconductivity—can interact with defects in a material to create a "random gauge field," a kind of quantum obstacle course that generates resistance fo...
3D city models and satellite-guided ground movement maps
The project "Smart District Data Infrastructure – Intelligent 3D City Models" by the Chair of Geoinformatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has been selected as one of the 100 award winners in the "Landmarks in the Land of Ideas" competition. The project "Satellite Guided Ground-Movement Map for Germany," with the participation of the Chair of Remote Sensing Technology, was also among the award recipients.
Customisable displays developed on the Android platform
MTA presents at Electronica 2016 its new Giotto and Leonardo customisable displays, 8” and 12”respectively, developed on an Android platform optimised by its electronics division for the automotiveindustry.At software level, the two displays available from the catalogue stand out for their ability to offerincreased customisation.
Insights into the movement of droplets
Stanford researchers, studying a tiny device that has become increasingly important in disease diagnostics and drug discovery, observed the surprising way it funneled thousands of water droplets into an orderly single file, squeezing them drop by drop, out the tip of the device.Instead of occurring randomly, the droplets followed a predictable pattern.
Ditching the crystals for tech
Nestled in the Austrian Alps is a small village, a space that sits in the original 19th-century manufacturing compound of a decidedly old-school manufacturer. This is the Swarovski crystal company, who as a part of a project are trying to refashion, into a tech company.
Engineering industrial and automotive innovation at electronica 2016
At electronica 2016 in Munich, Germany, Texas Instruments will showcase innovation focused on the future of industrial automation and automotive technologies. Take a closer look at sensor communications with wired technologies like IO-Link and wireless technologies such as BLE and explore how TI’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology significantly increases the efficiency in variable speed motor drives.
