Surgeon performs cardiovascular procedures on patients 20 miles away
A surgeon in India has conducted what is being touted as the first ever long-distance heart surgery on patients in an operating room roughly 20 miles away.
Unique enclosure with patented air ventilation
The Altech AKIII industrial enclosure has a patented air ventilation system that eliminates condensation.
What is exothermic welding?
Learn the basics of exothermic welding, which leverages the heat of reaction to provide a heat source to fusion join components.
New sensors on Florida bridges will measure hurricane impacts
A team of researchers from the University of Florida is attaching sensors to concrete bridges in Florida togather real-time data about rising water and wave impact on bridges during hurricanes.
Hyundai develops a robotic exoskeleton for factory workers
A wearable robot vest has been developed by Hyundai Motor Group to assist factory workers who spend a significant amount of time working in overhead settings.
Enhanced measurement accuracy with new Promac series tools
The tools provide an accurate profile of the internal surface of oil and gas well tubing, casing and completion assemblies.
MHI christens LNG carrier for US exports
The ship is the second LNG carrier of its type built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding for Mitsui, which is a partner in the Cameron LNG venture.
Study: Bats change flight paths to find prey hidden from echolocation
However, the team found that if an echo originates from angles greater than 30°, the sound is reflected away from the source and the leaf acts as a mirror, revealing prey to the bat.
Where semiconductors and welding intersect
It might not be immediately obvious, but semiconductors and integrated circuits are common in welding equipment. Here are three types of welding devices that employ semiconductors.
Texas LNG export terminals near commercial startup
Hydraulic fracturing techniques reversed the decline in domestic natural gas production and led to construction of multiple LNG export facilities, including those of Cheniere Energy and Freeport.
UK facility to produce aviation fuel from waste
The proposed facility will divert over half a million tons per year of non-recyclable waste from landfills and incinerators for the production of jet fuel.
Proven detector solutions for gas analysis
Thermopile detectors for gas analysis and flame detection.
Researchers creates ultra-small accelerometer using graphene
What makes graphene suitable for such an application is how fast and easily electrons pass through, coupled with its mechanical strength.
Leech-like robot can climb up and down vertical walls
Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) in Japan and the University of Cambridge in the U.K. have developed a leech-like robot that can climb vertical walls.
Optimize oil lifespan with single-board computing
The platform performs different tests that proactively monitor oil performance, using the MKR NB 1500 alongside sensors, nodes and gateways. Machine operators receive test results, enabling them to make informed decisions about oil performance.
E-glove offers hand prosthetics life-like human hand qualities
Researchers at Purdue University have developed an electronic glove (or e-glove) to enhance hand prosthetics, giving them more human-like qualities and offering the wearer sensory perception.
Engineering review team backs Millennium Tower upgrade
An independent Engineering Design Review is backing a proposed seismic upgrade and foundation stabilization for the 301 Mission Street Tower in San Francisco.
Measurement and control of compressed air systems
To reduce the likelihood of problems like moisture, compressed air supplies are often conditioned to remove or significantly reduce the moisture content before the air is consumed by the process.
Engineering co-ops versus internships: Some key benefits for students and employers to consider
Co-ops and internships both help engineering students acquire practical work experience before graduation. Students should understand the differences when deciding which to apply for and accept.
Moisture measurement for ozone generators
Ozone is increasingly used to purify water as an alternative to chlorination. There are four principle applications.
