Piercing the plasma sheath during spacecraft re-entry
During re-entry, high temperature plasmas interfere with spacecraft communications. These are the researchers looking to restore communications - and maybe make it a little less terrifying on the way down.
Absorbing centerline and stack-up tolerances with Oval Compression Limiters
Compression Limiters must not only align with the mating components, but also maintain a defined centerline tolerance with each other. This will ensure that the accumulated misalignment remains within acceptable limits so the components maintain their relative positions and can be securely fastened at multiple points within the assembly.
High-moisture extrusion redefines food processing
From a manufacturing perspective, modest changes in process understanding and composition can deliver meaningful improvements in performance and robustness.
How automated identification is transforming materials handling
Modern RFID systems measure signal strength and phase across multiple tags and reader angles, allowing systems to infer orientation, select reliable reads and improve screening confidence without reducing throughput or replacing existing infrastructure.
Company unveils pothole-patching truck that repairs up to 146 potholes a day with heated asphalt spray
The Cimline P5 can patch one pothole in just two minutes with asphalt spray, significantly increasing the average number of potholes covered per day from 20 to 146.
New microneedle tech promises painless glucose tracking
Using this less invasive approach, the team found that the device could accurately detect sugar levels and wirelessly transmit information to a smartphone in real time.
Unibloc Hygienic Technologies expands portfolio with twin screw pumps
