Prepare for Pi Day
It’s almost time for the annual celebration of the mathematical constant pi, observed on March 14 in recognition of the first three significant figures of pi.
AMS OSRAM debuts new 256-channel ADC
The AS5911, housed in a 14 mm x 14 mm FBGA, is a system-in-package solution that performs simultaneous current-to-digital conversion of the outputs from 256 photodiodes in a CT detector.
Sulzer launches next generation high efficiency, low total cost pump for desalination
The latest innovation from Sulzer combines proven features from existing designs with a range of enhancements to optimize both capital and operating costs.
Tips to extend the lifetime of an industrial gearbox
Industrial gearboxes play an integral role in the manufacturing process, providing machines with smooth power transmission to achieve efficient operation.
A nuclear focus in STEM education
The American Nuclear Society has expanded its nuclear science and education offerings for kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) enrichment.
Flowserve’s new Valtek TX3 Molten Salt triple-offset butterfly valve — Unmatched reliability in solar energy processes
Flowserve has revealed its new Valtek TX3 Molten Salt triple-offset butterfly valve designed to deliver reliable performance, tight shut-off and minimized maintenance.
New facial recognition software features updated algorithms
Dubbed Face Verification 13.0, the secure facial authentication detection software can be integrated into mobile and web applications.
Teardown of an antenna tuner
For simple receiving of radio signals, the electrical characteristics are only marginally important. This is why a modern car’s FM antenna can be smaller than ¼ wavelength vertical, instead appearing as a mere nub on the car’s roof, and still function.
Dynamic Conveyor is launching its DynaPro low-profile slider bed conveyor line
The DynaPro line offers a range of lengths and widths for use in various applications, and the conveyor can be easily integrated with additional equipment.
Metabo HPT announces new additions to its pneumatic nailer lineup
The new series of pneumatic nailers offer the same features and performance as the NR83A5 series, but they are now equipped with aluminum magazines that protect against jams.
Video: Tool for rapid detection of nuclear contamination
Rapid color detection within one minute — purple for uranium and pink for plutonium — indicates possible nuclear contamination.
Festo introduces program for easy-order, fast-ship pneumatic products
Festo has launched its Pneumatic Essentials program, which streamlines ordering, ensures fast delivery of guaranteed in-stock pneumatic components and produces more compact parts for smaller footprint, energy-efficient machines.
10 unique solutions to sticky adhesive problems
Here are 12 examples of chemistry and mechanical engineering converging to solve difficult assembly and sealing challenges.
Quattroflow releases next generation of single-use pumps for demanding biopharma applications
The latest offering from the manufacturer incorporates a patented valve plate design that improves drainability and venting.
GEMÜ introduces new electrically operated solenoid valve J70 for precise dosing
The GEMÜ J70 electrically operated solenoid valve enables precise dosing and is especially suited to applications characterized by low flow rates such as those in analysis, vacuum and dosing technology.
New ZEDOX HEXO high-performance butterfly valve from ARI with innovative honeycomb disc design
The ZEDOX (double shift of the pivot point) reduces the angle of the disc when it contacts the seat sealing ring and relieves that metallic sealing when opening.
"RobotLawyer" to make its courtroom debut
To defend its client, the RobotLawyer, which was trained on data from past cases, will offer defendants a means to fight his or her case using a smartphone app that supplies appropriate responses for contesting a speeding ticket.
Pfeiffer Vacuum introduces the new SmartVane rotary vane pump for mass spectrometry
This new SmartVane vacuum pump is designed with no shaft seals, eliminating the number one source of oil leaks, therefore preventing any contamination.
New sealing tech for Kice's VJOT-series of rotary airlocks
Rotary airlocks are critical to pneumatic conveyance systems because they control the flow of bulk material. Kice has released these new mechanical seals to provide added protection against breakage, contamination and leakage, even in extreme dry-running conditions.
World's first wireless pneumatic home elevator makes its debut
Because the technology uses only air to function, it does not require any oil or lubrication. Series 3 is also the only elevator technology in the world that does not require any battery backup or temporary power supply in the event of power failure.
