BinMaster’s new spin on the reliable rotary: BMRX-100 bin level indicator
By alerting to full and empty vessel conditions, this indicator prevents waste and saves time when handling bulk materials stored in bins and silos.
SABIC debuts LNP THERMOCOMP compound to help facilitate adoption of LDS antennas and advance device production
The compound offers better chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, and lower warpage to benefit laser direct structuring (LDS) of antennas.
Lockbolts offer an alternative to welding
Direct-tension installed, swaged lockbolts offer an alternative to welding to ensure the integrity of joints in demanding load-bearing or high-vibration structures.
BAND-IT expands the IT-series with the new IT7000 1/4-inch TIE-LOK precision installation tool
The tool is designed for the automotive exhaust market and is available for any high-volume TIE-LOK application.
Emerson revolutionizes pressure relief valves for enhanced performance and reduced emissions
Emerson has released two all-new technologies for the Crosby J-Series pressure relief valve (PRV) product line.
The C-Flex bearing solution: A popular choice for motion control
The growing popularity of the C-Flex bearing is not only due to the quality of the product, but also to its adaptation in today’s sustainability efforts.
MIT CSAIL's invisible tagging system enhances 3D object tracking
BrightMarker is an invisible, fluorescent tag concealed in 3D-printed objects — such as a ball or container, for instance — that shows potential for enhancing motion tracking, virtual reality (VR) and object detection.
C-Flex bearings offer infinite life
C-Flex pivot bearings operate as a bearing, hinge, torsion spring and more.
The pros and cons of telemedicine
Technological advances have made telehealth a simplified process whereby any internet connected device can be used to facilitate most accepted forms of telemedicine which include non-emergency clinical services, administrative support, communications and continued training.
Wind, gas density and temperature monitoring combined can better predict mine disasters
All tests suggested that there are three significant correlations between gas, temperature and wind, thereby confirming that this framework shows promise for one day developing a gas warning system with improved sensitivity to minimize the incidence of gas explosions.
New two-step process detects food fraud
The Purdue team has developed a patent-pending two-step process to prevent the alteration of food, which can happen anywhere along the global supply chain.
Team turns LEGO robot into gradient mixer
To lower the cost of developing such expensive equipment, the ASU team reportedly built a mixer using off-the-shelf LEGO kits.
A record rate for harnessing geothermal heat
Fracking technology employed by the oil and gas industry was used to successfully drill the first horizontal well pair for commercial geothermal production.
New Rosenberg 560 mm Gen 3+ EC plug fan sets the standards for low noise, high efficiency and airflow
The backward-curved fan module delivers more efficiency, less noise and higher airflow for data center cooling and air handling units, as well as wind power, compressor and transformer cooling applications.
Self-destructing robot leaves behind only an oily puddle
When the built-in UV LEDs are triggered by the robot’s operator, subsequently heating the substance, the robot disintegrates, decomposing in under two hours and leaving only an oily residue behind.
Types of geothermal power plants
There are several kinds of geothermal plants, each with a unique mode of operation depending on the state of the geothermal reservoir and application requirements.
AI model from NYU alters ages of facial images while retaining unique features
The researchers trained a latent diffusion model — a type of generative AI model — to understand how to conduct identity-retaining age transformation.
FPT Industrial’s new C16 two stage turbo engine for the new Case IH Steiger 715 makes its debut at Farm Progress Show 2023
The new top-of-the-range engine, with market leading compactness and power to weight ratio, features proven Cursor engine reliability with robust and lean design.
These robotic arms can pick up individual Pringles
The “Bi-Touch” system of robotic limbs is reportedly directed by AI to “solve tasks even under unexpected perturbations and manipulate delicate objects in a gentle way.”
GEMÜ develops new innovative pulsation damper
Thanks to its full bore design, the GEMÜ 652 does not shut off the media, thus enabling the actual expansion volume to be compensated by the moving diaphragm to dampen as much volume as possible within a specific operating range.
