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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy needs to diagnose an ill member of the Starship Enterprise, he simply points his tricorder device at their body and it identifies their disease. Similarly, when Capt. Kirk beams down to an alien world, his tricorder quickly analyses if the atmosphere is safe to breathe. Much like them,Stanford engineers are using microwaves and ultrasound to create a safe and portable way to detect hidden objects.

TE Connectivity has added the MHR-T Series of high-temperature, miniature linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) to its line of linear displacement sensors. With a diameter of only 9.5 mm (3/8"), these high-reliability transducers accurately measure displacement in space-constrained applications including process controls, automation and robotics as well as chemical plants, hydraulics and power turbines.

Gen3 Systems will introduce a totally new design of its CM Series Contaminometer at productronica. Gen3 will be exhibiting alongside its German Distributor, Stannol GmbH.This new design is linked to the introduction of the new process control metric - Process Ionic Contamination Testing. The CM Series measure the amount of ionic contamination in accordance with all existing test methods often referred to as ROSE testing as well as the new PICT te...

The Intel Quark microcontroller D1000, designed for Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and applications is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. Announced at Intel’s IoT Insights event in San Francisco, along with Intel Quark microcontroller D2000 and the Intel Quark SE microcontroller for IoT, this new technology extends intelligent computing to a new spectrum of data actuation applications and devices that require lower power co...
