New from Contrinex is a range of high power, miniature, rectangular sensors that produces a narrowly focussed, cylindrical light beam that is less than 4mm in diameter and yet has a detection distance of 50mm. This long sensing range with a parallel beam makes possible accurate and reliable detection of objects through small holes and gaps. The sensors can also be used for differentiating between closely aligned or laterally approaching objects...

Catalyst Semiconductor has announced it has received a patent for a unique step-down switching regulator circuit architecture applicable to step-down regulators for driving high brightness LEDs. The patent, titled “LED current bias control using step-down regulator” (patent number 7,323,828), was developed to simplify the design of high brightness LED lighting in emerging household, commercial and automotive lighting applications.

Future Technology Devices International Limited has expanded its portfolio of converter cabling solutions with the introduction of Chipi-X. Measuring a length of 10 cm, this is a USB-to-RS232 level full-handshake UART cable with a male DB9 connector. The DB9 provides the connectivity for RS232 communications and a USB-A plug deals with USB communications.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4268-1, a Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface controller with a synchronous, current mode, switching regulator for delivering precise regulation and high efficiency to power-hungry Powered Devices (PDs). The LTC4268-1 provides up to 35W for 2-pair systems and as much as 70W for 4-pair systems. As the momentum for PoE continues to grow, the LTC4268-1 bridges the gap to enable development of innovative high-p...

Kontron has introduced two new ETXexpress modules – a COM Express solution – based on the VIA C7® processor paired with the VIA CN896 and VIA VT8251chipset: The Kontron ETXexpress-CN8 and the Kontron microETXexpress-CN8. These two new modules fill the gap between the already available and widely adopted Kontron microETXexpress-PM and the Kontron ETXexpress-PM Computer-on-Modules (COMs), offering embedded designers the scalability needed with...

Batron is once more adding a new high-resolution display module to their chip-on-glass family. A special feature of this display is an absolutely innovative backlighting concept, the Quattro LED.

Agilent has introduced an extremely cost-effective digital receiver for radio frequency signal monitoring. The Agilent N6841A RF Sensor is a software-defined, network-based receiver housed in a compact, weatherproof enclosure with a wide operating temperature range suitable for outdoor deployments. Multiple receivers may be combined to form RF sensor networks to improve detection, monitoring and geolocation of emitters in commercial, radio regul...

Agilent Technologies, Inc. today introduced the 240 and 220 Ion Trap GC/MS systems. These new systems combine the flexibility (multiple ionization and scan modes) of an ion trap mass spectrometer with the rugged performance and advanced Capillary Flow Technology of the Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph.

Agilent today expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with 26 new models that comprise its next-generation InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series. The new scopes incorporate breakthrough technology that allows advanced capabilities to be included in affordable instruments.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the winner of the company's third annual Agilent Early Career Professor Award. Dr. Michael Jewett, assistant professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University, will receive the prize, which provides an unrestricted research award of $50,000 per year for two years to Northwestern in Dr. Jewett's name.
