RESCAR 2.0 Enhances the Robustness of Electronic Automotive Components; Major Step on the Path to Becoming a Leading Electromobility Supplier
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...
Stacking is in demand in the future
The new research project MANOS not only allows stacking artists, it welcomes them. With innovative surface coatings based on nanoparticles and the latest adhesive procedures, embedding technologies are advancing into new dimensions. That's because you can use the novel circuit board-based modular fasten and release technology to stack sensor systems.
Listening to the radio even with an electric drive
To enable radio reception in electric vehicles, manufacturers must install filters and insulate cables, since electrical signals will otherwise interfere with music and speech transmissions. Now, using new calculation methods, researchers are paving the way for pure listening pleasure while also helping to lower the associated costs.
Antonov Wins Idtechex Technology Award For Electric Vehicles
The UK based automatic transmission specialist Antonov has received the IDTechEx Electric Vehicles Land Sea Air ‘Technology Award’ presented for the most significant EV technical development over the past two years. Unlike other awards these encompass all land, sea and air electric vehicles, concentrating on technical breakthroughs worldwide.
The Latest Manufacturing Methods For Photovoltaic Modules Will Be On Show At LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011
Optoelectronic systems are being used to an increasing extent in the manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) modules and are helping greatly to increase production efficiency. In particular, laser technology is proving its superiority in processes such as material removal, fusion, soldering, welding and drilling. Lasers have become indispensable tools, especially in the manufacture of thin-layer solar cells. Manufacturers are therefore profiting directl...
austriamicrosystems enters the 3rd dimension with the unique “3D HallinOne” Magnetic Encoder family

European effort to bring smart textile at industrial manufacturing level
Imec and its project partners announced the launch of the European FP7 (Framework Program) project PASTA (Integrating Platform for Advanced Smart textile Applications) aiming at developing large-area smart textiles. Large-area manufacturability is an essential aspect in bridging the gap between lab prototyping and the industrial manufacturing of smart textiles for sports and leisure wear, technical textiles for safety and monitoring applications,...
Magma and Fraunhofer IIS Partner to Accelerate Analog Implementation
Magma Design Automation announced a partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, developer of microelectronic systems and devices, to develop process-independent Titan™ FlexCell models of the Institute’s analog intellectual property (IP) cores. Through the partnership, Magma will provide Fraunhofer IIS with access to Titan analog design accelerators and FineSim SPICE simulation technology and will assist in creating mod...
Keeping it clean - technical cleanliness in fastening technology
In view of the growing importance of “technical cleanliness” Arnold, working closely with the Fraunhofer Institute, has set up a cleanliness compliance procedure for fasteners – “Cleancon®”. What have always been rather general cleanliness requirements for components can now, for the first time, be precisely categorised. Arnold has set up its own test laboratory which develops and adapts test specifications to stipulate the degree of c...
