Power distribution unit designed for the agricultural world
MTApresents atElectronica 2016 the new MEC 97 modular electrical center for the distribution of power and the protectionof major electrical utilities in off-road applications.MEC 97 is a plug&play product produced with the PCB (printed circuit board) logic and with press-fitassembly, which ensures optimum electrical contacts even in the presence of strong vibrations.
Gear pumps give mobile applications the silent treatment
Businesses face the growing concern of diesel exhaust and noise pollution; however the agricultural sector has always had this issue to face. Hydraulic systems have many applications and benefits, but few people would associate their use with a quiet working environment, until now.
Nontoxic hydrogels could aid food production
Writing in theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Eric Appel, an assistant professor of materials science at Stanford, and doctoral candidate Anthony Yu describe how to make a generation of hydrogels based on abundant natural materials.The hydrogels incorporate two abundant and inexpensive basic ingredients. One is a cellulose polymer derived from natural sources such as wood chips and agricultural waste.
Efficient production at any batch size
B&R presented the SuperTrak industrial transport system at the SPS IPC Drives trade fair. Other highlights included a multitude of mapp components and connected manufacturing solutions based on OPC UA communication.
Glowing crystals can cleanse contaminated drinking water
Glowing crystals designed to detect and capture heavy-metal toxins such as lead and mercury could prove to be a powerful tool in locating and cleaning up contaminated water sources.Motivated by publicised cases in which high levels of heavy metals were found in drinking water in Flint, Mich., and Newark, N.J., a science team led by researchers at Rutgers University used intense X-rays at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to probe the structur...
