Living longer prosperously
As ageing and increasingly healthy populations proliferate developed and developing regions, engineering decisions such as choosing resistors for diverse medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications become more crucial. Stephen Oxley, Senior Applications Engineer, TT Electronics, explores further in this ES Design magazine article.
1W DC/DC converters suit industrial automation
Designed specifically for use in industrial, automation and instrumentation applications, the MEF1 series of 1 Watt regulated DC/DC converters have been introduced by Murata Power Solutions. The single rail regulated output makes the converters ideal choice for power sensors, such as pressure transducers, hall effect sensors and mass airflow sensors.
Sound idea: Two-channel option hastens acoustic measurements
Brüel & Kjær has launched a two-Channel Option for its Type 2270 sound level meter to help environmental officers and consultants reduce time spent conducting multi-point acoustic measurements. It allows both channels to receive simultaneous input, from two microphones or accelerometers.
3-ph current transducer offers 18 current ratings options
The new RCTrms 3-ph current transducer from Power Electronic Measurements (PEM) delivers a convenient, safe and accurate solution for measuring current in three phases. It features a thin, clip-around, flexible sensor coil and provides accurate true rms measurement with 4-20mA or 0-5V output, enabling simple installation with PLC’s, SCADA systems or automation equipment.
