A collaboration between Cobolt AB and Semrock, Inc., has resulted in the development of optical filters optimized for use with the Cobolt Mambo™ 594 nm orange laser in fluorescence instrumentation.

Custom Interconnect (CIL), the Andover-based electronics manufacturing and design company, has used its experience and proven track record in LED design and manufacture to produce a bespoke, high power, uniform, infra-red light-source for Mindstorm Technologies. CIL’s LED solution provides massive advantages over previous light sources used in the system.

CIL is, through CoolLED its LED design and engineering group, demonstrating on Stand LED 61 at euroLED 2010 its ability to provide bespoke packaging and assembly of both bare-die and pre-packaged LEDs. A number of new LED-based products from CoolLED that have applications in the field of fluorescent microscopy and industrial UV curing are also on show.

Touch-screen and touch-panel interfaces have rapidly assumed the position of input-medium-of-choice in a wide variety of application spaces, driven to a large extent by the success of portable products such as Apple's iPhone and iPad. Touch-driven interfaces have a long history prior to the current phase of widespread acceptance in the consumer electronics space; a wide variety of sensing technologies, and a great deal of ingenuity, have been app...

Although it is relatively straightforward to design a basic LED driver for a general lighting application, it becomes far more complex when additional functionality such as phase cut dimming and power factor correction are also required. A non-dimming LED driver with no power factor correction generally consists of an off line switching power supply configured to regulate the output at a constant current. This is not much different from a standar...

With the principle of a multiple color sensor, MAZeT is pursuing a strategy that bridges the gap between the three-range sensors and spectral measurement devices for sensor applications. The new MMCS6 product family is based on the proven technologies of the compact and price-to-performance ratio-optimized semiconductor sensors with integrated interference filters. With the MMCS6, a color measurement with seven spectral characteristics in the ran...

Avago Technologies today announced fiber optic module solutions that enable more efficient switching and greater bandwidth in data centers. The new pluggable, parallel optical QSFP+ eSR4 transceiver is the first module that can address both 40 Gigabit (40G) and 10 Gigabit (10G) Ethernet applications with a verified link distance of 400 meters. This gives data center operators the flexibility to reuse the current 10G wired infrastructure when upgr...

andersDX today announced the availability of its new line of Projective Capacitive (PCAP)-integrated TFT displays. andersDX PCAP Displays are ideal for non-consumer device makers who are looking to achieve iPad-like look and feel for their devices, while avoiding the many technical and commercial headaches of integrating the now most sought after touch technology with TFT displays.

General Motors and its local joint venture partner UzAvtosanoat today opened a new state-of-the-art engine plant in Tashkent, 400 kilometers from the automakers’ vehicle manufacturing facility in Asaka. It represents GM’s most significant powertrain investment in Central Asia.

ZMD AG today announced the results of the SyEnA (synthesis-supported design of analog circuits) research project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
