The use of sophisticated information technology to control nation-wide utility delivery increases efficiency but introduces new hazards. There are lessons to be learnt from those with long experience of testing such critical infrastructures, according to David Hill, Vice President, EMEA, Spirent Communications.

Once again Space Tech Conference will open its doors in Long Beach, California, to bring together the leading representatives of the military, government and commercial space sectors. An unparallelled line-up of expert speakers at the three-day conference will showcase the breadth of innovation in the industry, discussing issues and opportunities in solving the space sector’s most challenging problems.

16 of Intersil's radiation-hardened ICs were on board themaiden voyage of NASA's Orion spacecraft, also known as the uncrewed Exploration Flight Test 1, on 5thDecember 2014. The Orion spacecraft is designed to go where no man has gone before, exploring and collecting asteroid samples, a future planned robotic mission to redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon, and the long sought after manned mission to Mars.

Conducting the first mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft recently came out of hibernation for its long-awaited encounter with the world’s most famous dwarf planet.Traveling across the solar system, the $650mNew Horizons spacecraft is now approximately 3.5bn miles from the Sun, nine years after its launch from Cape Canaveral.

Top scientists from NASA will join UK academics and industry leaders to debate the revolutionary green technologies which could power tomorrow’s air and spacecrafts, at a conference by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. As the world becomes increasingly concerned with climate change, international civil aviation’s contribution to lowering carbon emissions has never been in greater focus.

In movies, robots can walk, talk, and even pretend to be human. Their real-life counterparts are considerably more limited. But this gap is closing, and Engineered Arts, a UK robotics company, is seeking to bring reality closer to fiction.

Offering enhanced electronics performance with improved fastener resistance to vibrational loosening, drop shock and high heat, the self-locking Spiralock micro threaded inserts have been introduced by STANLEY Engineered Fastening. The internal thread form design securely and cost-effectively attaches components in compact electronic assemblies.

Formulated to operate over a wide temperature range of -62 to +343°C, Master Bond EP17HT-LO is a one part epoxy for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation. The low viscosity system has very low exotherm upon curing and can be cast in sections up to 0.5" in thickness. EP17HT-LO offers convenient handling, requires no mixing and has an unlimited working life at room temperature.

A one component epoxy system, which is designed for die attach applications, has been released by Master Bond. Offering an unlimited working life at room temperature, the Master Bond Supreme 3HTND-2DA cures in 5-10 minutes at 150°C.The adhesive, which performed well in 85/85 testing, has a die shear strength of 19-21kg-f.

Resistant to temperatures up to 260°C, the 12AOHT-LO epoxy is now available from Master Bond. Offering thermal conductivity of 9-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F, the one component epoxy has passed ASTM E595 testing for NASA low outgassing and is well suited for vacuum environments. The epoxy can also be used for a range of bonding and sealing applications in the electronic, aerospace, OEM and electro-optic industries.
