United Launch Alliance (ULA) recently awarded Saft, world-leading designer and manufacturer of high-tech batteries, a multi-million dollar contract to develop lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for its Atlas V and Delta IV launch vehicles. These are some of the first Li-ion batteries ULA has incorporated into its launch vehicles and will replace batteries currently in use.

Wind River today commemorated its 30th year as a pioneer and leader in embedded software. Since its inception in 1981, Wind River has had the honor of collaborating with visionary companies to bring some of the most innovative new technologies to market as well as supplying the heartbeat of connected embedded devices and systems that have controlled much of the world's infrastructure, systems and products.

The latest, substantial new release of Maple, the flagship technical computing software for mathematicians, engineers and scientists from Maplesoft™ (Waterloo, Canada), has over 270 new mathematical functions and over a thousand enhancements to existing algorithms. Now available from Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts), Maple 15’s record-breaking solvers for differential equations is just one of many new advances in Maple 15 which en...

Marshall Vehicle Engineering has illustrated just how effective welding robots can be with its first implementation of robots in a production environment. Two robots mounted on a 24 metre overhead gantry are welding complex truck loading platforms in three and a half hours – a reduction in 17 hours over manual welding times.

BMT Defence Services Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has joined today with BAE Systems to submit a single response to the MARS Fleet Tanker pre-qualification questionnaire issued by the UK’s Ministry of Defence.

The Deeter Group announce the introduction of a free site survey service for customers considering the implementation of a Deeter or any other wireless sensor network operating in the 2.4GHz ISM band. Deeter’s own wireless sensor networks may be used to remotely monitor temperature, pressure, flow, humidity, liquid level, float or proximity switches or any sensor connected to a 4-20mA control loop.

The Mars rovers are incredibly resilient, considering the extreme environment the hardware experiences every day, said John Callas, Project Manger at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the NASA agency responsible for the mission. Together Spirit and Opportunity have driven more than 21 kilometres, climbed mountains, descended into craters and struggled through sand dunes.

Sara’s dock loading pods provide a modern solution to the problems of optimising warehouse space, and to achieving control of temperature or hygiene during the loading/unloading process. The dock loading pods are complete loading bay enclosures that install directly onto buildings, marshalling warehouse space efficiently. In addition, an insulated housing provides a seal between the pod and vehicle, minimising heat loss, and ensuring hygiene an...

The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA ) has announced the election of four industry leaders to serve as members of the association's Board of Directors. Elected to the board for the first time are Rob Hill and Marshall Miles. Alex Levran, Ph.D. and Bharat S. Shah were each re-elected to serve a second three-year term. Elections were conducted at the PSMA annual meeting held in conjunction with the Applied Power Electronics Conference ...

CISSOID, the leader in high temperature semiconductor solutions, introduced a new product in their PLANET family of high temperature transistors and switches. MARS is a High Temperature 30V Small-Signal P-channel MOSFET transistor suitable for long term reliable operation from -55°C up to +225°C. With its extreme temperature robustness, its input capacitance of only 14pF and its gate leakage limited to 400nA at 225°C, this 30V transistor is id...
