How can sustainability help electronic manufacturing?
The high-tech world of electronic manufacturing has changed our daily lives and enhanced the capabilities of sectors such as medical, defence, manufacturing and aerospace.
Data science used to help homeless
Services for homeless people could be improved greatly through the use of data science, thanks to the UK’s inaugural 12-week Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) programme.
Engineering that creates a legacy for future generations
Having shown an aptitude for maths all her life, it was a natural fit for Sophie Harker, Senior Engineer in Flight Control Systems at BAE Systems, to take the STEM path in life, but it was a little trip to the US that proved the defining moment in her journey. Electronic Specifier’s Anna Flockett caught up with Harker after she was named as the IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award.
Engineering businesses will need to up-skill workforce after Brexit
Brexit is widely being blamed for the biggest worker shortage that the UK has seen for over 30 years, and there is good reason for this. With EU nationals already beginning to leave the UK, there is an expectation that a significant number of skilled workers within construction, engineering and manufacturers will begin leaving the UK ahead of January 2021, when the Government plan to implement new restrictions on EU immigration.
Better visibility: Robotic arm supports endoscopic surgeries
With its robotic arm Soloassist II for surgeons in hospitals, the German company AKTORmed from Regensburg makes it easier for surgeons to work with endoscopes. About 15 years ago, the transition from manual to robot-supported guidance of the surgical camera during minimally invasive procedures meant a significant improvement for the surgeon.
UK's first fully integrated hospital-wide digital transformation
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Group and Hitachi Consulting announced a partnership to deliver the UK's first fully integrated digital transformation of care processes. Known as the Digital Control Centre, the ten year project will be deployed across Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, part of the Northern Care Alliance, and update the organisation of care across its acute and integrated services.
How to use a voltage reference for an accurate data conversion
In the rush to more quickly and efficiently connect the analogue and digital worlds to take advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT), it’s easy but unwise to overlook the critical role of the voltage reference. Used by analogue-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters as the primary standard by which to “judge” the analogue input and output values, it helps ensure accurate signal and data conversion, but only if ...
Cruise passengers stay cool with HVAC control systems
Modern cruise ships are promoted as the epitome of comfort and luxury; hence, allowing passengers to adjust cabin temperatures to their liking is an essential part of the experience. With such a large number of rooms the HVAC control systems need to balance easy, responsive individual adjustment for hundreds of cabins with the main ship’s systems - in order to ensure an efficient, reliable and accurate service is maintained.
IoT gateway PC handles harsh environments
The Kuber-212G- a compact-sized, fan-less embedded system from Mitwell, a subsidiary of Portwell, features the latest 14nm Intel Celeron N3350 processor (codenamed Apollo Lake). It is compact 99 (L) x 63 (W) x 92 (D) mm design, and features low power consumption, high-performance computing and a powerful graphics engine.
Small rotary encoders feature DRIVE-CLiQ interface
The range of small, absolute rotary encoders of 35mm diameter in HEIDENHAIN's 1000 and 1100 series has been expanded to include new versions with DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity. Marketed alongside existing HEIDENHAIN encoders of similar size that use the EnDat bi-directional and SSI serial interfaces, the DRIVE-CLiQ models have the same, compact mounting dimensions and can be used at temperatures up to 95°C.
