Roboteq, Inc introduces a new magnetic guide sensor capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. The sensor is intended for line following robotic applications, using adhesive magnetic tape to form a track guide on the floor.

Ben gets started on a project to build a dog treat dispenser complete with remote controls and a web cam. In part one Ben builds the mechanical dispenser itself.

Original equipment manufacturers are increasingly turning to electronics manufacturing service providers to better handle the escalating volumes of electronic content in the medical industry. With opportunities for high-level product assembly and complete build projects expected to increase, the potential for EMS in the medical industry will progress gradually over the next few years.

STMicroelectronics has simplified the use of MEMS in a wider range of applications by releasing ready-to-use software drivers for communication with Linux systems. The new ST driver architecture ensures robustness, maximizes sensor performance, and allows modularity and fast prototyping. Driver access is managed through a standard IIO interface and no additional software is required to interface all the ST Motion MEMS products due to the embedded...

Murata today announced it will be demonstrating several new sensor technologies on its exhibition stand at the forthcoming SENSOR+TEST 2013 event in Nürnberg, Germany. One of the innovations on display will be a single optical sensor that has potential application as a touch-less gesture sensor for use with tablets, smart phones and other personal consumer electronic devices.

The J D Neuhaus website, jdngroup.com has been subject to major revamps which include a more prominent presentation of products in the homepage menu. Their impressive product range incorporates purpose designed handling equipment which is ‘engineered for extremes’ and used for applications in some of the heaviest and most demanding engineering markets. Details of their worldwide subsidiaries are supported with the site available in seven diff...

ULIS announces today it will conclude the first of two phases in the MIRTIC project with the launch of the Micro80P thermal sensor array. The launch will take place at the Sensor and Test Fair in Nuremburg, Germany, May 14 – 16, 2013. Micro80P is the first 80x80 small pixel pitch high-sensitivity array in a line of next-generation thermal sensor arrays that meet the needs of applications seeking to achieve maximum energy efficiency in everyday ...

Maxim is now shipping the MAX11156, the industry’s smallest 12-pin, 18-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter. Available in a tiny 3mm x 3mm TDFN package, the MAX11156 integrates an internal reference and reference buffer, saving cost and at least 70% board space over competing solutions. With 18-bit resolution, this high-performance ADC features Beyond-the-Rails technology, which supports a ±5V input from a single p...

TDK Corporation announces that TDK-Lambda UK will be presenting its latest additions to its industry-leading medical power supplies on its stand 520 at this year’s MEDTEC UK. Satisfying a broad range of medical and dental equipment applications, TDK-Lambda offers standard medical AC-DC power supply ranges from 15W to 1500W, including configurable power supplies with up to 16 outputs.

Connectors must ensure signal integrity even when the environment is far from benign; great forces of shock and vibration, and extremes of temperature may be experienced. Wendy Jane Bourne, Technical & Marketing Engineer with Harwin, explores these strains on high reliability connectors in this article from ES Design magazine.
