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.
Electronic warfare (EW) systems from Lockheed Martin to protect surface warships from anti-ship missiles
U.S. Navy surface warfare experts are ordering additional advanced shipboard electronic warfare (EW) systems for surface warships like aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, cruisers and destroyers.
Tektronix introduces its portable oscilloscope
With the 2 Series MSO, engineers can achieve things not possible on previous oscilloscopes.
New radar tech 'sees' through walls
This technology is appropriate for use in hostile urban environments and at the site of natural disasters.
How getters improve reliability of hermetically sealed electronic packages
Electronic components may fail if they are exposed to corrosive agents or chemical attack by moisture or other reactive gases that may be present within an electronic package or enclosure.
Why Industry-Based and Application-Specific UPSs are Important in Today’s Industries
While a mass-produced UPS is acceptable for general use, certain power-critical applications require a more robust UPS solution.
Hermetic Solutions DiaCool™ materials offer superior thermal management for the next generation of higher power density
Higher power density systems require more advanced techniques and materials to dissipate potentially higher heat loads that left unchecked may compromise electronic system performance or reduce system lifetimes.
