Citizen scientists: Dive in and help NASA classify corals
Both fluid lensing and gaming opportunities can be leveraged to map the ocean floor with a level of detail previously possible only when teams of divers were sent under water to take photographs.
Piston-gear pump assembly with common suction port
The piston-gear pump assembly with common suction port is designed to provide a compact tandem pump configuration for mobile machines that use both types of hydraulic pumps to power implements and other equipment.
Flexible Ethernet cables for e-chains with CC-Link IE field certificate
Highly flexible Ethernet cables for use in energy chains have been tested and certified for use in North American markets.
NASA to deliver nine instruments to the moon as foundation for future missions
Masten Space Systems will deliver the payloads for NASA.
AI, pressure waves used in technique for detecting leaky pipes
Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia have devised a method for detecting leaky pipes using artificial intelligence (AI) and pressure waves.
Arachnoid-inspired robot designed for the classroom
Researchers from the University of Zaragoza have developed an inexpensive robotic platform for education and research applications.
RPI study finds that AI is not the answer for every company
According to the study led by Chris Meyer, professor of practice and the director of undergraduate education at the Lally School of Management at RPI, companies should be strategic about how they implement AI into their businesses.
Engineers design for disease diagnosis by high-tech toilet
The appliance operates autonomously by leveraging pressure and motion sensors while analyzing waste to detect the presence of various diseases.
The Lee Company introduces new pressure valve
The Lee Company, a supplier of precision fluid control products, has introduced its Hi-Damped Pressure Relief Insert (HD PRI) for systems exposed to operating pressures and pressure spikes too extreme for traditional relief valves.
Circor RTK introduces control valves for abrasive media applications
Circor RTK has introduced its Reflex quick-change seat (QCS) control valve. The Reflex quick-change seat (QCS) control valve is equipped with the React 30 DC-PoP smart actuator and is a flexible all-in-one solution for noise reduction and high pressure-drop applications.
IO-Link added to Alfa Laval's ThinkTop V50 and V70
Global supplier of products and solutions for separation, heat transfer and fluid handling, Alfa Laval has announced that its ThinkTop V50 and V70 hygienic valve control units now include an IO-Link to enhance communication between the valves and Industry 4.0 automation systems.
Researchers construct self-regulating valves, motorless pumps using ultra-thin film
Researchers from Germany’s Saarland University are building pumps and valves using electroactive silicone film that enables enhanced functionalities beyond “on and off” and “open and close.”
Hydraulic challenges an engineer could face with pumps and the solution to these challenges
The underlying cause of failure in centrifugal pumps goes beyond the failed part, and the extent to which it happens varies.
12,000 people sign up to be next generation of astronauts
These astronauts will be selected in the summer of 2021.
Watch: NASA maps monitor global groundwater and drought conditions
NASA has developed a method for better monitoring drought conditions and incidence worldwide with global maps of soil moisture and groundwater wetness conditions. Satellite data are used to update global maps on a weekly basis and to generate one to three-month forecasts of U.S. conditions.
Coronavirus lab to 'pop up' at UC Berkeley
A team of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) is building a robotic pop-up laboratory in response to the coronavirus pandemic with the potential for processing over 1,000 patient swab samples in under 24 hours.
Building a nuclear material detector from basic brick
Residual gamma radiation signatures from the common building material signal the presence or removal of nuclear materials from a given location.
Pandemic drone in development for identifying those showing signs of respiratory illness
Researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA) are developing a so-called “pandemic drone” to help remotely detect those who demonstrate signs of respiratory infection.
Collaborators develop radar tech for identifying drones
Collaborators from Aalto University in Finland, New York University (NYU) and UCLouvain in Belgium have developed radar technology for better monitoring and identifying drones.
Quattroflow adds to catalog of pumps
Pump manufacturer Quattroflow, part of PSG, a Dover company, has introduced the QF2500 quaternary diaphragm pump for demanding biopharma applications, including chromatography, tangential flow filtration (TFF), virus filtration, sterile filtration and depth filtration.
