Acoustic vent for mobile phones features water protection
W. L. Gore & Associates announces the launch of the GORE Acoustic Vent GAW333 – a smaller, smarter way to improve mobile phone acoustics while maintaining IPX8 immersion protection and IP6X particle protection. With an inner diameter as small as 1.5 mm, the GAW333 packs a lot of performance into a very small vent, to offer greater design flexibility to mobile phone developers.
Full-bridge sensors are based on advanced technology
Micro-Measurements, a Vishay Precision Group (VPG) brand, has announced that it has expanded its product line of Transducer Class full-bridge strain gages based on Advanced Sensors technology. Offering several advantages over bonding multiple, individual strain gages, the devices are now available with smaller, higher resistance patterns to serve a variety of bending and torque/shear applications.
100V H-bridge combines dual N- & P-channel MOSFETs
Incorporating dual N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs into a 5.0 x 4.5mm DFN5045 package, a 100V full H-bridge has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The DMHC10H170SFJ's configuration reduces component count and board space, which is especially important in applications that require multiple devices.
Weight indicators feature large LED/LCD displays
Vishay Precision Group has announced that its VPG Transducers brand has introduced two weight indicators featuring large six-digit LED and LCD displays. Combining weighing and counting modes with an array of advanced features and communication interfaces, the Intuition 20i and Intuition 22i provide versatile solutions for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
Morgan brings industry-leading ceramics to HIFU transducers
Morgan Advanced Materials has announced that it now has the capability to design and manufacture components for use in High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technologies, particularly in medical applications. Morgan is producing HIFU ultrasound transducers in a range of shapes and geometries, from 5 to 150mm in diameter and with frequencies between 200kHz and 8MHz.
Ten top torque tips
Driveshafts deliver power as a rotary force, and in most applications there is a need to know the amount of power in the system. But getting measurements from a turning shaft requires some engineering ingenuity, so here Tony Ingham from Sensor Technology in Banbury runs through the basics.
Control machines with a simple movement of a hand
To control machines remotely by the simple movement of a hand. It will be possible in a natural and economical way thanks to Goldfinger, an innovative prototype of human-machine interface designed and built in collaboration between the Politecnico di Torino and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston under the direction of Dr. Giorgio De Pasquale from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the Italian University.
App accelerates transducer setup
Setting up transducers for sound and vibration measurements is a much simpler process for engineers with Brüel & Kjær’s new smart transducer setup concept. When several transducers have been mounted onto test objects, such as vehicle engines or aircraft components, it can be very time-consuming to link them to the measurement software correctly.
Achieving precise and accurate strain measurement
A sensor gauge that boasts a strain gauge and an embedded resistance temperature detector (RTD) on the same substrate has been introduced by Micro-Measurements, a brand of Vishay Precision Group. The device is built upon Micro-Measurements’ Advanced Sensors strain gauge technology, it simplifies layouts and meets market demand for precise and accurate strain measurement.
Bolt stress and load measurement enhanced
Boltight has extended its range of ultrasonic measurement devices with the introduction of Echometer+. The new device uses the latest ultrasonic measurement technology and offers even more features and performance than Boltight's original handheld Echometer. It can accurately measure load, stress and elongation on bolts up to 25.40m long.
