Guidelines launched for floating solar projects
Recommended practices cover common requirements for building a floating photovoltaic array.
June 26: The coolest day of the year
Every year on June 26, World Refrigeration Day celebrates the people and technologies responsible for creating and maintaining the world we live in.
New panel mount couplers allow high-speed connection through enclosures
The couplers are designed for use with data acquisition, test and measurement, and PC peripheral interconnect applications.
Accordion design as a clever cable detail
Accordion-style folding means the cables require less space, allowing flexible use of cables for different distances.
Cost-saving solution supports 25 and 40 Gbps Ethernet transmission speeds
The devices support 25 and 40 Gbps Ethernet transmission speeds over balanced twisted pair copper cabling.
Silicon carbide - excellent for high temperature applications
Different grades of silicon carbide offer high thermal/electrical conductivity well beyond other ceramic materials.
Video: Leviton launches LC Unibody fiber connector with Spectro-Link technology
The new fiber connector is designed for ultra high density and data center applications.
Microfluidic method improves perovskite-based semiconductor manufacture
Microfluidic injection of perovskite semiconductors creates microwires to build different optoelectronic devices on a single silicon chip.
Harnessing HVAC exhaust to cool PV panels
Cold air exhausted by HVAC units can be tapped to cool off solar panels and improve array performance.
Electrical conduit for food and beverage applications
Modern industrial food processing involves miles of electrical wiring. These must be safely routed within flexible conduit raceways both to protect power and data cables from damage, and to prevent contact with nearby processing equipment and process areas.
Remotely monitoring nuclear reactor off-gas in real time
The method can help streamline safety assessments for emerging molten salt reactor technology.
