A team of young engineers from Wallace Hall Academy in Dumfriesshire, Scotland have been crowned champions of the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) FIRST LEGO League UK and Ireland competition.

AC power line disturbances are the cause of many equipment failures. The damage can be as elusive as occasional data loss or as dramatic as the destruction of a power supply, LED lightings, industrial system and consumer equipment such as ovens or refrigerators and television sets.

Scraped up knees and elbows are tricky places to securely apply a bandage. More often than not, the adhesive will peel away from the skin with just a few bends of the affected joint.Now MIT engineers have come up with a stickier solution, in the form of a thin, lightweight, rubber-like film. The adhesive film can stick to highly deformable regions of the body, such as the knee and elbow, and maintain its hold even after 100 bending cycles.

Microsemi Corporation, provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, has announced sampling availability of the first product in its next-generation 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the 40mOhm MSC040SMA120B. The release of the complementary 1200V SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), has also been announced further expanding Microsemi's growing SiC discretes and modules portfolios.

Reality capture technology company, Leica Geosystems, has announced the new Lino series of cross and point line lasers, specially created to ensure supposedly outstanding laser visibility. The clever power concept with Li-ion rechargeable batteries enables users to work without inconvenient interruptions. Thanks to the ingenious adapter concept with its strong magnets, the laser is also simple and quick to position.

Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced a series of AEC-Q101-qualified TVS Diode Arrays optimised to protect automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) lines from damage due to electrostatic discharges (ESDs), electrical fast transients (EFTs), and other overvoltage transients.AQ24CANFD Series TVS Diode Arrays can absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in industry standards without performance degradation and can safely withstand 3...

Nexperia has announced the launch of a wide range of PN and Trench Schottky rectifiers for power applications including automotive, industrial and consumer. In total, the company now offers more than 90 devices in the CFP packages.Nexperia CFP packaging is size- and thermally-efficient. The package design has a solid copper clip and exposed heat sink to reduce the package’s thermal resistance and optimise the transfer of heat into the ambie...

Nexperiaformerly opened a significant expansion to its ATGD discrete semiconductor assembly and test plant in Guangdong, China. The total production and warehouse site now covers an area of around 72,000m², adding an extra 16,000m² of production space. This will enable the factory in Guangdong to produce 90 billion parts annually, representing an increase of around 50% depending on product mix, and supporting Nexperia’s ambitious ...

A cost-effective optical spectrum analyser optimised for testing telecom devices during and after production has been unveiled by Yokogawa. The AQ6360 is a benchtop optical spectrum analyser targeted mainly at the production testing of datacom and telecom devices such as laser diodes, optical transceivers and optical amplifiers.

Silicon chips from STMicroelectronics have enabled new zForce AIR touch-sensing modules from Neonode, the optical sensor technology company. Neonode's compact, low-power, and easy-to-use modules add touch interaction to any USB- or I2C-connected object and work with any type of display or surface, including steel, wood, plastic, glass, skin, or even nothing, able to detect touch interactions in mid-air.
