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 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...

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...

CISSOID, the leader in high temperature semiconductor solutions and the other members of the consortium, jointly announced the CREAM European project. The CREAM Project addresses the thematic “Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT)” through the objective of developing an “Innovative Technological platform for Compact & Reliable Electronic integrated in Actuator and Motor” destined for several applications of the All Electric Aircraft such a...

The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) today announced its next Nanomission to Germany and Switzerland on 2nd-5th March 2010. This mission will focus on developments in production processes for manufacturing nanomaterials and nanocoatings for renewable energy applications.

Germany’s foreign trade success is determined to an ever-increasing degree by the quality and reliability of high-tech products. Seven partners from the German business and research communities are teaming up in the three-year “RELY” project to explore ways of enhancing the quality, reliability and resilience of modern microelectronic systems. The focus will be on applications in transportation, in particular electromobility, in medical tec...

Energy chains are used in production equipment, robots and tooling machines to guide and protect cables and hoses. Sometimes vibration can occur on the support channel and at the towing arm during the movement. The laboratory for tooling machines (WZL) and business operations RWTH Aachen carried out a study: vibration investigations on energy chains. The results were that the E6 energy chain from igus® stood out due to minimum vibration and maxi...

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...

Munich is once again the world capital of the photonics industry. The leading lights from industry and research met at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011. The 20th event ended with a substantial increase in visitor numbers to 27,500 and a new record rise to more 1,100 exhibitors and represented companies.

A large number of modern security applications have been made possible due to the rapid development of optical technologies in the last few years. Manufacturers of both civil and military security systems, as well as systems and plant manufacturers and raw material suppliers are profiting here from the great advances in optics, sensor technology and measuring technology. LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011 extends its range of products with the new exh...
