Smart electric actuator from Asahi/America
The Series 19 family of smart electric actuators packs a variety of standard features into a compact, lightweight and corrosion resistant package.
Design for tighter spaces with SMA to AMC cable assemblies
These assemblies are ideal for internet of things and antenna applications where there may be internal space constraints.
ABNN increases detection capabilities in sonar
Detection becomes more pronounced as the network continually cycles through the entire training dataset, accentuating the weighted nodes and disregarding irrelevant information.
Citric acid converts coal ash into a rare-Earth resource
Carbon dioxide, water and food-grade citric acid effectively extract industrially valuable metals from coal ash.
Power cable components validated for offshore wind platform prototype
Dynamic cable and mooring components have been designed for a hybrid concrete-plastic floating windfarm.
Video: What causes quicker belt wear?
The key to understanding where the product decline comes from is often how the system interacts as a whole.
Magnetic couplings mechanically isolate shafts and motor
The couplings are ideal for machine designs involving food, pharmaceutical and laboratory applications requiring clean, non-contact connection between motor and shafts.
Elkem to demo first carbon capture pilot for smelters
The silicon-based materials developer will test the world’s first carbon capture pilot for silicon smelters at its plant in Rana, Norway.
Servo motor updated to meet stringent hygienic requirements
Baumüller revised its servo motor series for aggressive environments and for industries with very high demands on hygiene, cleanliness and corrosion protection.
Cable tracking platform improves cost and material efficiencies
The cloud-based platform delivers accurate, real-time data to track the supply, logistics and installation of electric cables.
Study: Oil and gas goals to reduce carbon footprint are not ambitious
Occidental Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell are just two of the 52 oil giants examined that have made public their intentions to help reduce emissions to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord.
Survey: People 'mostly' object to facial recognition use in healthcare
Results of the survey reveal a significant portion of the respondents perceive a potential privacy threat when it comes to using facial recognition data in healthcare.
Crime scene lipstick now traceable
Without having to remove evidence from an evidence bag and potentially contaminating or destroying it, the Kent team used Raman spectroscopy — a process that involves the vibrational energy and light of chemical bonds — to analyze the lipstick residue.
Engineering technology to thwart foodborne illnesses
An estimated 48 million people in the U.S. become sick each year following exposure to pathogens in food. No doubt inspired by their own bouts with food poisoning, researchers and engineers the world over have done their level best to prevent such foodborne illnesses via various technologies. Here are some examples.
