Seal off water back-up with Flood-Guard™
Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to seal off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers.
Gearing options for small-frame BLDC motors
Brushless direct-current (BLDC) motors are the go-to motor type for designers looking to move large objects quickly and accurately.
Devastating Texas freeze of 2021 brings business survival solutions
In temperate and warmer areas, business owners commonly turn the heat down or off completely when no employees are in the building. During cold snaps, however, pipes and other mechanical equipment need the heat to prevent freezing.
Orbex Group introduces ultra-small pancake-style gimbal motors
The motors are wound to operate at low speeds typical for gimbals while exhibiting a high torque constant for fast response when needed.
Got high RPM?
Smalley's revolutionary Revolox™ Self-Locking Ring safely and efficiently secures your application at high speeds.
Online tool enables convenient motor calculation
The Express tool allows users to identify and select the right motor for their applications quickly and easily.
Robotic arm taught to autonomously push, pick objects
According to the researchers, the technology can select and grasp the appropriate object with 97% accuracy, on average.
Video: Carbon Robotics' farm tech zaps weeds with lasers
Like its earlier iteration, the 2022 LaserWeeder relies on artificial intelligence to identify, target and eliminate weeds via thermal energy as it moves.
Watch how tethered drones automate apple picking
Capable of operating day and night autonomously, the apple-picking drone can be monitored using GPS and mobile apps.
New collaborative robots for industrial applications launched by Yaskawa
Industrial robot manufacturer Yaskawa Motoman has launched two new collaborative robots: the HC10DTP and HC20DTP.
Cold climate heat pump working to accelerate environmental stability
The SL25XPV allows homes in even the coldest climates to benefit from a heat pump system and up to 58% cost savings per year.
Steam system devised to kill pathogens in dry food processing
The team believes that the superheated dry steam system will prevent the potential for E. coli and salmonella contamination occurring in low moisture foods.
Video: Team to track objects via invisible labels
The so-called InfraredTags are an alternative to standard barcodes typically adhered to products that can be easily removed, detached or become unreadable over time.
Bio-based copolymer resin helps consumer electronics industry achieve net-zero carbon emissions goals
The bio-based polycarbonate copolymer can help the consumer electronics industry meet net-zero carbon emissions goals.
US grid modernization is underway
The Building a Better Grid initiative is intended to speed the modernization of the national energy transmission infrastructure.
Framework supports sustainable Amazon hydro dam siting
The artificial intelligence framework identifies hydroelectric dam portfolios in the Amazon River basin that meet energy production goals with the least environmental harm.
Will US household air conditioning use exceed electric capacity in the next decade?
Without expanded capacity or improved efficiency, the result will be prolonged blackouts during the peak summer heat. A temperature increase of 1.5° C (2.7° F) — 2° C above preindustrial levels — could push demand up 8% to 13%.
Hawaiian utility to pilot virtual power plant platform
The GridAmp platform will be deployed to simultaneously balance three separate grid services — capacity build, capacity reduction and fast frequency response.
Plasma-enhanced HVAC filter promises to stop the spread of COVID-19
Immediately after passing through the plasma filter during lab tests, the researchers determined that the aerosolized virus culture was inactivated by roughly 99.8%.
ACAM_64 theory of operation
To aid in the interpretation of the acoustic image, it is very useful to superimpose an optical image of the scene onto the acoustic image.
