Don’t know your nanorod from your nanoribbon? Want to find out what nanomaterials are in the products you buy? Could the safe handling of nanomaterials be improved? Nine new nanotechnology publications lead the way.

Azonix used FloEFD software from the Mentor Graphics Corporation Mechanical Analysis Division (formerly Flomerics) to reduce the number of thermal prototypes required from up to 12 to 1 on its new Terra embedded computer. “FloEFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software enables design engineers without a fluid analysis background to perform thermal simulation,” said James Young, Design Engineer for Azonix. “The result is that we got the ...

CGTech is pleased to announce that Machine Simulation S.A. joined the company's Reseller network to market and support VERICUT in South Africa.

SKF has sponsored one of the winning teams at this year’s Formula Student competition, which saw over 100 teams of undergraduate and graduate engineers from all over the world compete with a car they had designed and manufactured. With SKF support, the UH Racing team, based at the University of Hertfordshire, left Silverstone with class wins in both the Best Developed Class 1-200 and the new Class 1A alternative fuelled cars, with the Class 1 t...

SKF, the leading knowledge engineering company, has announced its latest training courses for 2010. The programme has been put together to help design, production and maintenance engineers improve their skills, learn about new technologies, and discover techniques for increasing machine and plant efficiency, reliability and performance.

MERLIN Viscometer is a high performance rotational viscometer capable of both steady shear and yield stress testing in a rugged, compact size footprint. Designed for performing both routine rheological tests like single point viscosity checks for QC, to complex rheological evaluation for R&D, the MERLIN Viscometer is ideal for investigating the mixing, stirring, and process flow characteristics of fluid systems.

A new range of electro-magnets from Geeplus have been designed with ejector pins to enable them to overcome the problems of residual magnetism occurring when power to the device is switched off.

In food and beverage industries, typically breweries and dairies the key to finding the best possible automation solution is a thorough analysis of each individual part of the plant or installation. In this way, the question of where plant intelligence should rest can be answered: i.e. does the nature of the application require centralised control interfacing to non-intelligent nodes, or does the physical size of the system mean that control has ...
