Brush Traction, part of the Wabtec Rail Group, offers a complete design and installation service for repowering packages that help improve the efficiency of older diesel-electric locomotives and the environmental credentials of train operators and the rail network. Key to both improvements are extremely reliable converted engine governors for the repower packages, which use Penny + Giles LVDT technology to bridge a gap between the old and the new...

As one of the most precise analogue instruments in everyday circulation, digital weigh-scales are used in many different ways. However the complexities that arise when measuring weight can cause a number of problems when designing such a sensitive piece of equipment. By Kannan Sadasivam, Staff Applications Engineer with Cypress, and Sachin Gupta, Senior Applications Engineer at Cypress.

Yole Développement announces its new analysis “Emerging Energy Harvesting Devices”. In this report, Yole Développement analysts describe why and how emerging energy harvesting devices will be increasingly used in the dynamic wireless sensor business.

Creating a better signal path is the secret to getting the most of your MEMS sensors. The performance of a MEMS sensor is largely determined by the quality of the MEMS device itself. It seems obvious, does it not? And yet, it’s not true – or rather, it’s not wholly true. In fact, the specifications of the interface to the MEMS device have a large impact on the quality and strength of signal from the MEMS device.

The term ‘smart system’ is well used, but what exactly does it mean? There are many definitions but the one that fits best for the purposes of this discussion is that provided by the European Commission’s CORDIS programme: “Smart systems typically are sensors and/or actuators with an ability to process data, diagnose complex situations, communicate with each other and be autonomous in energy use.”

Microsemi has announced the availability of a new ULP RF transceiver for short-range wireless applications where power consumption is of utmost importance. The ZL70250 sets the bar in terms of low power consumption with only 2 mA of current required to transmit and receive data, enabling extremely long battery life and miniaturization.

Morgan Technical Ceramics will showcase its extensive capabilities within the electronics industry on stand 511 in Hall B5 at Electronica 2012, to be held at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from 13-16 November 2012.

LEM introduces the DVL series for insulated nominal voltage measurements in traction applications. This family of devices spans the range from 50-2000 VRMS and incorporates LEM’s proven and patented insulating technology. Despite achieving very high levels of isolation with a safety insulation voltage of 8.5 kV, the DVL transducer is compact, measuring only 137.8 x 63 x 64.3 mm. It is fully compatible with previous generations of transducers ...

Analog Devices introduced today the industry’s lowest-noise, zero-drift operational amplifier. The ADA4528 zero-drift op amp is designed for instrumentation and medical applications that require precision over time and temperature without system calibration. The breakthrough design achieves an ultra-low integrated voltage noise of 99 nVp-p over 0.1 Hz - 10 Hz meaning that the ADA4528 delivers a 26 percent lower voltage noise at 40 percent less ...

Analog Devices, Inc., a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled decisively against Knowles Electronics.
