Development board kick starts low-power wireless designs
The Tiger board extends the SmartEverything family at Arrow Electronics. It features the NXP Semiconductors Kinetis KW41Z multi-protocol wireless MCU for extremely low-power connected devices. The board provides an ideal platform for products like smart door locks, portable healthcare technology, wearable sports monitors, RF remote controls, wireless computer keyboards and mice, gaming controllers, security access-control systems, smart energy pr...
Over 140 digitisers used in machine protection systems
Over 140 digitiser cards from Spectrum Instrumentation are being used in the machine protection systems of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The cards are used to check that the particle beams have been accurately deflected. Incredible precision is required for this as two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light in opposite directions in the 27km LHC accelerator ring. They are then made to collide at four locations...
DMM and DAQ simplify & enhance test setup
A 6½-digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter, the Keithley DMM6500, and DAQ6510 Data Acquisition and Logging Multimeter System have been launched by Tektronix These new instruments combine the simplicity of a “pinch and zoom” touchscreen interface for easy and faster test setup and at-a-glance monitoring and display with the power of 15 different measurement functions, wide measurement ranges and multichannel measurements.
Small modular reactors are key to solving the skills deficit
Playing a major part in the ‘future of nuclear’, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are an intriguing development for the UK’s decarbonised future. Creating £60 per megawatt hour once mature SMR technology will play a key role in reinvigorating the UK energy industry. That being said, although there are strong targets and interest in the recent Government investment placed in new nuclear technologies, in order to drive this nuc...
On the anniversary of Article 50 we focus on the future

Manufacturers urged to help tackle productivity puzzle
To help boost the UK’s productivity performance, manufacturers are being urged to help and try and get manufacturing productivity growth back on trend by taking part in a major work programme being carried out by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation which will feed into the Autumn Budget Statement.
The new Focus is the most dynamic and innovative Ford yet
More style, space and advanced driving technologies comes with the all-new Ford Focus which is designed as a mid-sized family car.Ford engineers collaborated closely with car-buyers to develop all-new Focus five-door hatchback and even more practical Focus wagon models in distinctive versions, each with their own personality – including the stylish Focus Titanium, sporty Focus ST-Line and upscale Focus Vignale. The all-new Focus Active cros...
Making sense of the modern HMI
Science fiction is fast becoming science fact. Artificial intelligence is now a business tool, robots are helping manufacturers increase productivity and, for many, ‘Alexa’ is part of the family. But for now, these technologies still need human input and, more than ever, we are relying on the effectiveness of the Human Machine Interface (HMI) to control them.
Radiation tolerant eight-channel source driver for space programmes
Microsemi has announced its radiation-tolerant AAHS298B eight-channel source driver for space applications, which has been successfully qualified and certified by the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class V and Q, with four Standard Microcircuits Drawings (SMDs) listed, is now in production.
