  • ABS vs PLA Filament

    If you didn’t already know it, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and Polylactic acid (PLA) are two of the most popular filament materials used for fused deposition modeling 3D printing today. Using one rather than the other comes down to various attributes of the material and, in some cases, personal choice

  • How to Select the Right Valve for Your Application

    Many factors are involved in selecting the correct valve for your application. While valve sizing and selection can be a complex process, an engineer can start the valve selection process by understanding their application requirements and finding suitable valve specifications to meet these needs.

  • Virtual Reality Moves into HVAC

    Virtual reality (VR) applications are gaining popularity in the HVAC industry.

  • New 3-D Printing Creates Shape Shifting Objects

    Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology, the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Xi’an Jiaotong Universtiy in China have teamed up to invent a new 3-D printing method which creates objects that can transform into different shapes when exposed to heat.

  • Drives Reduce Variant Complexity of Water Pumps

    A smart drive solution for fixed speed pumps enables setting fixed speed levels at the motor to individual requirements.

  • Allegro MicroSystems Releases a New Multi-outpost Automotive Power Management IC

    Allegro MicroSystems, LLC has produced a new power management integrated circuit (IC), the A4408, that uses a buck or buck-boost pre-regulator to efficiently convert automotive battery voltages into a tightly regulated intermediate voltage complete with control, diagnostics and protections. The output supplies a 5 volt/115 milliamp tracking/protected low-dropout, a 3.3 volt/165 milliamp low-dropout, a 5 volt/325 milliamp low-dropout and an adjustable output synchronous buck regulator.

    WaterSim 5.0, a systems dynamics model for estimating water supply and demand, helps users visualize the influence of multiple factors on water resources and the impact of water supplies on local economies and quality of life.

  • Ferroelectric, Flexible Thin Films for Nonvolatile Memory Devices

    Non-volatile memory devices can be developed with an ultra-thin oxide ferroelectric film deposited onto flexible polymer substrate.

  • Jenway’s New UV/Visible Spectrophotometer

    Jenway has recently announced the launch of the new 7205 UV/Visible spectrophotometer. The 7205 has a broad wavelength range and is suitable for applications in quality control, life sciences and food testing.

  • Vaneaxial Fixed Pitch Fans for High-Pressure Ventilation

    The New York Blower Company introduced a new vaneaxial fixed pitch fan for high-pressure ventilation and industrial process applications with volumetric flow capacities up to 100,000 cfm, static pressures up to 8” WG and operates at temperatures up to 200° F.

  • Avoiding Industrial Downtime by Filtering Lubricating Oils

    One way to protect the turbines is by implementing lubricating oils that guard against the wear-and-tear on moving parts within a turbine, as well as assist in other ways, such as heat transfer and protection against corrosion.

  • Improved Plasma Process for 3D Objects

    Plasmas have long been used in industry to clean surfaces or to process them such that materials like paints or glues adhere to them more effectively.

  • New 3-D Printing Method Creates Shape-Shifting Objects

    A team of researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology and two other institutions has developed a new 3-D printing method to create objects that can permanently transform into a range of different shapes in response to heat.
