Provider of turnkey semiconductorAutomatic Test Equipment (ATE)for magnetic devices, Hprobe will present at the MRAM Developer Day 2019,a new technology of magnetic generator for ultra-fast testing time (less than one second) ofMagnetic Tunnel Junction(MTJ) forSpin Transfer Torque(STT) MRAM devices under perpendicular magnetic field at above 2 Tesla.
Keeping trains moving; meeting new technology demands
A key element of the propulsion system for low speed urban transportation to high speed intercity trains is the traction converter that transforms the power from the power source, whether a catenary or diesel engine, to drive the electric motors. By Michel Ghilardi, LEM Research & Development Senior Engineer
Drawing attention to the when and why of plastic springs
The when and why of Plastic springs is rarely a simple matter, made as they are from highly engineered composites and technically advanced new generation materials they are produced with lightweight and high-performance in mind for application in especially demanding industries such as medical, pharmaceutical, electronics, aerospace and similar. Typical properties include operation at elevated temperatures, neutral magnetic characteristics, light...
Sensor network for the smart factory
Smart automation and digital transformation are among the trend topics worldwide. Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things are changing production and logistics processes in the long term. In the future, objects will be networked and interact automatically in all areas. In order to guarantee smooth processes, detailed position and status data must be generated and analysed. KINEXON, located in Munich, Germany, has developed KINEXON Brai...
Designing systems for medical environments
Power supplies for medical systems have a particular set of constraints to meet patient and operator safety in extreme environments, says Richard Thrussell, SIGA Electronics
Newly available 3D coils for automotive actuators
Actuators are now an essential part of electronic control systems in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. It is their job to convert the electrical signals from the control unit into an action. Most actuators are electric motors or electro-magnetic valves. They adjust flaps, for example, regulate the flow of fluids or actuate pumps to build up pressure (such as in brake and steering systems).
Silicon APDs for photon counting
Detecting the smallest amount of light is important in many medical diagnostic applications. Photomultipler tubes (PMTs) are widely used but are sensitive to magnetic fields and require a high operating voltage. Over the last six years avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have started to displace PMTs because they are cheaper, have longer lifetimes, use lower operating voltages and are insensitive to magnetic fields.
Quantum-inspired Digital Annealer technology harnessed
Fujitsu Laboratories, has shown the capability of the Digital Annealer to maximise the performance of magnetic devices essential for renewable energy harvesting and other uses. The application of Fujitsu's next-generation architecture allows for the nearly instantaneous calculation of the optimal arrangement of multiple planar (2D) magnets to maximise the strength of the magnetic field in a device.
Sensor brings high angle accuracy at low magnetic fields
For the Sensor+Test trade fair, Infineon Technologies is expanding its sensor portfolio by a new family of AMR-based angle sensors. XENSIV TLE5109A16 products address the need for very precise, fast and yet cost-efficient angle measurement at the highest functional safety levels in automotive and industrial applications.
