Sensor Technology Helps To Keep Sheep Shorn!
TorqSense transducers from Sensor Technology are playing an important role in new product development at Gloucestershire-based Lister Shearing, the oldest and one of the most successful suppliers of animal shearing and clipping equipment in the world. The sensors, which are based on SAW (surface acoustic wave) technology, are being used by the company as an aid to evaluating the performance of miniature electric motors.
NOVEL SENSORS AID TIDAL TURBINE DEVELOPMENT
Non-contact torque sensors from Sensor Technology are playing a key role in the development of commercial-scale in-stream tidal turbines produced by Irish company, OpenHydro. The company is using these novel sensors, which are based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, to accurately measure rotational speed and frictional forces in a simulator for the turbine bearings, thereby allowing it to optimise the performance and reliability of its i...
Idt Announces World’s First Family Of High-definition Audio Codecs With 3-state Class-D Modulation
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. today announced the world’s first family of high-definition PC audio codecs to feature the DDX™-based class-D modulation technology developed by Apogee Technology. This highly efficient 3-state modulation technique extends battery life, eliminates pops and clicks, and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) in notebook and desktop audio systems.
Tekdata and SEA succeed in subsea wiring project
Tekdata Interconnections has successfully completed custom wiring for an underwater analysis pod designed to operate up to 100 metres depth, enabling its customer, defence contractor Systems Engineering and Assessment Ltd (SEA), to deliver the completed pod within tight constraints on time and cost.
ULVAC Introduces Multi Ionization Gauge 'SH2', Spectroscopic Ellipsometer 'UNECS-3000A' and Pendulum Valves 'VFR-400' and 'VFR-500'
ULVAC, Inc. introduces the SM2, a transducer type multi ionization gauge which can connect gauge heads with different measurement ranges. ULVAC also releases, the UNECS-3000A, an automatic high-speed spectroscopic ellipsometer which can measure the thickness of a thin film, as well as, optical constant. Finally, ULVAC announces the launch of the VFR-400 and VFR-500, large pendulum valves for FPD manufacturing equipment, used in markets such as or...
Accurate fast sensor system and frequency measurement IC
MMS Electronics has made available the Universal Sensor and Transducer Interface (UFDC, USTI and USTI-EXT). The USTI can measure analogue sensor signals (capacitive and resistive) but also quasi-digital sensors.
True Grid Independence
Linear Technology’s George H Barbehenn outlines the company’s robust energy harvesting system for wireless sensors using piezoelectric energy harvesting power supply and Li-Poly Batteries with a shunt charger.
Electromagnetic design software helps speed development of innovative contactless distributed power supply system
An innovative contactless distributed power supply system for modular automation components is being developed by a team lead by Professor Hans-Peter Schmidt at The University of Applied Sciences in Amberg, Germany, with the help of Opera electromagnetic design software.
Audio Precision answers the call for MEMS mic testing with integrated PDM I/o
Audio Precision, the recognized standard in audio test, today announced the availability of their new PDM I/O option for its APx500 series audio analyzers. PDM (pulse density modulation) is a one-bit, high clock rate data stream used with digital MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) microphones used extensively in smartphone design. The APx PDM option allows APx500 series audio analyzers to connect directly to any device with a PDM input or out...
CANbus systems control expansion
Things are looking up for Bedfordshire-based Sensor-Technik UK, with turnover almost doubled during the past year, an expanded headcount of engineering staff and further recruitment under way. The expansion is proof that the company's increased focus on CANbus systems is providing the market with much needed capabilities.
