Keeping on track with RFID
Mary Butler, Product Manager at HellermannTyton, discusses RFID technology and why it is the smart choice for electricians.Radio-Frequency Identification or RFID systems are widely used across a range of industries and have been in use for a number of decades. Used in all kinds of applications, from microchips for pets to goal-line technology, global RFID sales are consistently on the up, with a projected global market value of $17.6bn by 2018.
Scientist awarded grant to fund holography research
Jan Genoe, one of its distinguished scientists, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant, Imec have announced. With the grant of €2.5m for a five-year period, Genoe’s team will develop and integrate the breakthrough technology needed to prove the possibility of high-quality video-rate holographic projection.
On the road to smart: lighting intelligence for everyone
Lighting is a huge consumer of global energy, contributing to around 20% of all the electricity consumed globally. Approximately 80% of that lighting is attributed to professional applications such as building, office, industry or street lighting, and about 20% to private residential lighting.
21st century cabinet and enclosure hardware developments
A lot has happened since the Millennium, and feedback over the years from developing products to keep pace with industrial needs has driven the development of ubiquitous items like quarter-turn locks and latches which form a core range with companies such as EMKA (UK).Andy Bilingham, Managing Director at EMKA here explains more about the cabinet and enclosure hardware developments in the 21st century.
MEMS sensors ensure vehicle safety
The increasingly electronic nature of modern cars means that there are more automatic safety systems than ever before.These systems require accurate input about the car’s movement to determine when the car is moving (or will move) in a potentially unsafe way, in order to trigger the appropriate response, be it deploying the airbags or applying the handbrake.
Disruptive approach to cyber security testing at MWC
Unveiling anew, disruptive approach to product cyber security testing, Bureau Veritas are working in partnership with CEA-Leti at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.The company will also launch its new suite of Smart Wear testing solutions for products including Trackers, VR Headsets and Smart Clothing in cooperation with 7layers.
Brain-computer interface allows typing by people with paralysis
A clinical research publication led by Stanford University investigators has demonstrated that a brain-to-computer hookup can enable people with paralysis to type via direct brain control at the highest speeds and accuracy levels reported to date.The report involved three study participants with severe limb weakness—two from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease, and one from a spinal cord injury.
Phase change materials offer practical alternatives
Two new phase change Thermal Management materials have been released by Electrolube, that offer high thermal conductivity, low phase change temperatures and low thermal resistance at the interface.Phase change materials are highly suited to the thermal management of electronic assemblies for a number of reasons.
Hydraulic manufacturers seek IIoT-enabled systems
Hydraulic manufacturing companies are being driven to expand their presence across the globe thanks to the rising demand for energy-efficient, easily operable, and smart sensor-embedded hydraulic systems that are Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-enabled.
Peelable maskant provides protection for PWB connectors
Distributor of industrial adhesives and adhesive applicators, Ellsworth Adhesives Europe has expanded its product range with the addition of the Dymax SpeedMask 9-7001. This peelable maskant for PWB connectors and board level is designed to create protection for connectors and board surfaces during solvent based or light-curable conformal coating applications in PWB assembly.
