IIoT software platform designed to revolutionize pollution control management
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) software platform is tailored for enhancing operational transparency and reporting capabilities for environmental pollution control equipment.
Tiny load switches power wearables and IoT devices
Minute, ultra-low quiescent current load switch integrated circuits deliver huge performance improvements.
How to heat treat steel fasteners
Some of the physical properties fasteners can be altered through thermal treatment after initial formation. In particular, steel alloys are heat treated routinely to increase their strength, hardness and other such properties.
Video: New gripping solution seeks to improve automation in food processing
According to its developers, the mGripAI, which relies on machine learning to understand objects, improves throughput, reduces maintenance and reduces food waste in the food processing space.
Fundamentals of bolts and screws
Since the terms "bolt" and "screw" were in use before the advent of easily produced helix fasteners, they are often synonymous. However, several standards bodies have attempted to differentiate the terms, with many concluding that it is not the devices themselves which are fundamentally different.
Yak-inspired robot designed for Chinese military
In addition to being used for gathering tactical battlefield data, the researchers suggest that the robot can also be used to transport supplies such as munitions and food, and could even be equipped with weapons.
The military now recruiting drones
No longer exclusive to the hobby industry, drones are proving their value in the military sector, serving as vehicles of transport, tools for surveillance and even weapons.
Video: 3D-printed OLEDs could mean future foldable big screens
A research team at the University of Minnesota has manufactured the first 3D-printed OLED display. This flexible display measures 3.8 cm by 3.8 cm and has 65 pixels. This could be the start of lightweight, cost-effective, foldable TV screens.
