Convention and trade fair LpS is beginning in BregenzLED. LED professional symposium + expo (LpS 2011) from 27th through 29th September 2011. Experts all agree: the LEDs are the light source of the future – and the future is beginning today: It will be here in Bregenz world-wide for the first time that developer, purchaser, users, but also researchers, suppliers of LED and system solutions, distributors, engineer service providers and other pe...

Count On Tools Inc, announces that the SwissGrip Screwdriver from PB Swiss Tools recently was evaluated by the Fraunhofer Institute, Europe’s largest organization for research in the field of applied science.

This week metraTec presents its new generation of UHF RFID tunnels which are supposed to reach a nearly 100% read rate even under difficult conditions using a new construction principle. This includes reading 300 or more UHF transponders with unknown orientation inside a box, the presence of metal between the objects or reading tags applied to bottles of liquid. The new technology the UT55 and UT75 are based on was developed and patented in coope...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems have inaugurated a solar hydrogen filling station. Sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment Baden-Wuerttemberg, the publically accessible filling station serves not only as a demonstration platform but also represents a milestone in the progressive network of hydrogen filling stations being set up in the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Fraunhofer IPM had extremely fast laser scanners on show at the INTERGEO 2010 trade fair in Cologne, Germany. These eye-safe high-tech systems can record more than one million measuring points per second, measuring their distances down to a millimeter if required by customers or the application.

A consortium coordinated by Better Place and including Renault SA, Continental, Ernst & Young, TÜV Rheinland, KEMA and five leading European institutions today announced formal approval from the European Commission for an R&D program to make it easier for European automobile and battery manufacturers to build electric cars with switchable batteries. Today’s announcement is the first project for switchable battery electric cars approved by the ...

Whether in the powertrain, in central control units or in body and convenience electronics – there is a constant increase in the proportion of electronic components used in the car. This trend is accompanied by growing complexity of the systems installed, meaning that designers are forever faced with new challenges in the fine tuning. Six partners from all levels of the development chain have now joined forces in a quest to come up with overarc...

OLED100.eu, an integrated research project, brings together a consortium of experts from leading industry and academic organizations to accelerate the development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies in Europe. It receives €12.5 million funding by the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme to form the technological basis for efficient OLED applications for the general lighting industry in Europe.

New laser systems are making processes less energy-intensive and more accurate. In many cases innovative lasers enable certain production steps to be carried out, especially when micromaterial processing is involved – i.e. drilling, milling and cutting in the microscopically small range. The lasers used in this processes do not emit light continuously, they are “pulse” operated, i.e. they emit their light in time-limited, very short “puls...
