4 top design challenges in thermal management systems
Thermal management may be one of the most important design factors in electric vehicle systems.
First industrial wastewater reclamation plant for chip fabs
The chip industry's first reclaimed water plant is now serving semiconductor manufacturing processes at the TSMC facility in southern Taiwan.
Back to the basics in rotating contact potentiometers
Rotary contact potentiometers are used to obtain adjustable supply voltage in frequency attenuation and volume control applications (or audio control devices).
Sensitive optical sensing tool for medical, industrial use
The design combines the advantages of the two types of interferometers currently available, making it both compact and highly sensitive.
Air conditioning 101: Basics, working principle and sizing calculations
There are several factors an engineer must consider before choosing an air conditioning unit for a particular application.
Wide range of UL recognized DC-UPS products
The 4-in-1 power supply, battery charger, battery care module and backup module.
Introducing Trigger covert, under-dash multi-band antennas
Trigger covert, under-dash multi-band antennas cover LTE, Wi-Fi and GNSS.
Anritsu debuts single sweep VNA-spectrum analyzer solution supporting 70 kHz to 220 GHz
Anritsu is enhancing its VectorStar vector network analyzer (VNA) family with spectrum analysis capability to create the world’s first single sweep VNA-spectrum analyzer solution that supports 70 kHz to 220 GHz.
Robot Lab to help build missile warning satellites
The geostationary Next-Gen OPIR satellites will be operated by the U.S. Space Force and designed to offer an early warning system for incoming ballistic or tactical missiles launched from anywhere in the world.
James Webb snaps its first exoplanet view from afar
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first direct image of a planet outside Earth's solar system.
Design principles and checklist for Hall effect sensors
Commutation sensor — Precision motor timing device to control electronic commutation.
How this new Renault EV keeps its cool
The new Renault Megane E-Tech electric vehicle (EV) is engineered with a new oil cooling system for the wound rotor synchronous motor.
Smith Systems Inc. offers superior sensor performance without today’s manufacturing hassles
The transportation industry requires precision sensors that can be used in tight control loops to accurately adjust throttle and braking controls.
SABIC expands ULTEM resin optical material portfolio to help advance adoption of single-mode fiber optics
The new polyetherimide resin delivers a significantly lower coefficient of thermal expansion than that of standard ULTEM grades.
LCD 2.0 — Azumo frontlight for reflective LCDs
Reflective liquid crystal displays (RLCDs) offer the benefits of traditional backlit LCDs while having the additional benefits of very low power and sunlight readability.
Saelig introduces Micsig battery-powered portable oscilloscopes
This portable instrument combines a capacitive 8 inch TFT LCD touch screen (touch, drag and swipe) with traditional ‘button and knob’ operation to make scope operation easy and efficient.
New military weapon destroys electronics
The technology can reportedly cause the type of disruption that fries circuits, thereby halting a threat — the navigation computer in a missile, or the radar and targeting system of an anti-air missile installation, for instance — while also leaving the physical parts of the system untouched.
Teledyne FLIR introduces multispectral surveillance systems for military and homeland security applications
Teledyne FLIR LLC has introduced its SeaFLIR 240 and TacFLIR 240 high-definition multispectral surveillance systems for military and homeland security applications on land and at sea.
Rheinmetall introduces its handheld grenade launcher
The Squad Support Weapon 40 (SSW40), which is reportedly smaller and easier to operate than other handheld grenade launchers, can issue 40 mm medium velocity rounds, achieving a range of about 3,000 ft.
A tool for detecting extraterrestrial life
The discovery of extraterrestrial life may depend on deployment of a portable device that detects organic residue in fossils tens of millions of years old.
