Until the middle of 2010, first-tier subcontract machinist, JJ Churchill, could produce turbine blades only if they had their fir-tree root-forms preground elsewhere, or if they were subsequently added by another subcontractor. No longer is this the case.

Two variants of HBM’s successful CFW piezoelectric force washers have been launched to expand the range by providing nominal (rated) forces of 100 kN and 190 kN.

NVision, Inc.’s Engineering Service Division is now offering product defect analysis, which can potentially be introduced in product liability litigation to prove a manufacturer innocent of producing a defective or harmful product. The company has partnered with Materials Analysis, a Dallas-based engineering firm specializing in litigation support, to provide this service.

A major manufacturer of hydraulic fracturing tools for the oil and gas industry is using NVision's HandHeld laser scanner to increase the performance and life of its products by gaining a clearer picture of erosion patterns. The company previously used ultrasonic sensors to measure discrete points in a gridded pattern after erosion testing with proppant. The HandHeld Scanner provides a much clearer understanding of erosion patterns by measuring m...

Engineers and machinists at several United States Air Force (USAF) bases are now using NVision's HandHeld laser scanner to reverse engineer complex aircraft parts, which are then machined to the highest level of accuracy and installed, maintaining USAF planes in peak working condition. Reverse engineering is often required for aircraft that were originally designed without computer aided design systems (CAD) and for which even blueprints can be...

Tanner Tools V13.0 is a significant upgrade to Tanner EDA’s Windows-based tool suite for analog and mixed-signal IC and MEMS design. Tanner Tools consists of S-Edit for schematic capture, T-Spice for simulation, L-Edit for layout and HiPer Verify for design verification. The latest upgrade adds Verilog-A model support to T-Spice. L-Edit is boosted with better library support, improvements in schematic driven layout (SDL) and a new SDL automatic...

EDA Solutions has announced the availability of version 14.0 of Tanner EDA’s Tanner Tools Pro and HiPer Silicon design software, including a new interactive autorouter, SDL Router, and a layout device generator, DevGen. Both these additions increase designers’ productivity and speed up development of full custom analogue IC and MEMS design.

SiGe Semiconductor has released the SE4150L GPS radio receiver featuring dual-antenna input capability for next-generation GPS systems.

Renesas today introduced a three-pronged business strategy including formulation of growth strategies by optimizing business portfolios, realization of merger synergies, such as the integration of development environments, technology platforms and various infrastructures, and implementation of structural reforms to create a business structure with stable profitability and resistance to changing market conditions.

Demand for durable, high-speed and reliable solid state storage for code and data in industrial and consumer designs continues to fuel the development of advanced embedded NAND Flash memory technologies. Here, Toshiba’s Eugen Pfumfel explains how to take advantage of the latest developments.
