The DAMIAN ultra-precision scanning system at the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) fulfils a significant part of a global programme for the digitisation of astrometric plates and aerial photographic images that span over a century and has shaped our understanding of the world, the solar system and the universe. With more than three million plate images estimated in the astronomical community alone, the programme was borne out of a need to provi...

Industrial cutting of natural stone paving slabs involves the use of copious amounts of water. The water is used to cool the diamond encrusted cutting blade, clean the cut and reduce the generation of dust in to the working environment.

The Paris Air Show in June is one of the premier global shop windows for the aerospace industry where the STAG Group will once again demonstrate its advanced thinking on supply chain optimisation. SpecTech France, UK and USA facilities are providing component supply systems on a worldwide scale for Original Equipment Manufacturers, Maintenance and Repair networks in the civil and military environments.

Sherborne Sensors has helped Canada’s Carleton University complete development of an innovative mobility system for a prototype micro-rover that in future may perform exploratory research missions on the Moon and Mars.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., distributeur comptant parmi les principales sources d’approvisionnement en semiconducteurs et composants électroniques pour ingénierie, annonce un partenariat avec Altium, qui a permis de créer des liens interactifs entre son logiciel Altium Designer et la vaste base de données en ligne de Mouser, en la plaçant directement sur le bureau de l’ingénieur.

CISSOID, leader des solutions semi-conducteurs pour les applications à haute température, introduit un nouveau produit dans leur famille PLANET de transistors haute température. MARS est un transistor petits signaux, MOSFET canal-P, 30V, prévu pour fonctionnement en toute fiabilité de -55°C à +225°C.

Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO) has selected the LDRA tool suite to enable developers on the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) program to achieve its software development goals. Aimed at safely transferring astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), the Moon, Mars and other destinations beyond low earth orbit (LEO), the Orion CEV is a state-of-the-art human space flight system. LDRA, the leading provider of automated soft...

NXP Semiconductors today unveiled intelligent switches supporting the new HDMI 1.4 specification released in June 2009. The NXP TDA19997 and TDA19998 smart switches support the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature, a new option introduced in the HDMI 1.4 release, which reduces the number of cables required to deliver audio upstream for processing and playback. Building on the success of previous HDMI smart switches from NXP, the TDA19997 and TDA199...

Can life exist on the edge of space? This is just one of the questions that a group of students from Cranfield University hope to answer with assistance from sponsors Alpha Micro Components (www.alphamicro.net), the independent franchised distributor of electronic components. Team CASS-E (Cranfield University Astrobiological Stratospheric Sampling Experiment) have designed a biological data collecting instrument which will be sent into the strat...

Wind River has this morning congratulated NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the successful landing of the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity, powered by Wind River technology. Curiosity, which landed on Mars at approximately 10:31 p.m. PDT, August 5, 2012, is the most complex robotic interplanetary probe ever designed. It is running on Wind River's industry-leading real-time operating system, VxWorks.
