One Network from IT to Motion Control
Features 7/23/2010 Post a comment Machine builders achieve new levels of design flexibility by using the standard Ethernet network platform to connect devices across the enterprise and an entire machine, including variable frequency drives and servo drives for integrated motion control.
Error Budget Calculations
Features 7/20/2010 Post a comment No matter how perfect your circuit or SPICE simulation, an analog circuit always produces less-than-perfect signals.
Xenon Corporation Ushers In the Newest Generation of Photonic Curing With SINTERONTM 2000
Features 7/16/2010 Post a comment The introduction of SINTERON 2000 is welcome news for those involved in many areas of printed electronics-areas such as displays, smart cards, RFID and solar applications. The non-contact process makes it suitable for such web-based printing techniques as inkjet, flexography, gravure, and screenprint.
Design Engineering Salary and Career Insight
Features 7/15/2010 Post a comment Responses to Design News' 2010 salary survey indicate stabilizing pay rates, rebounding industry demand and a level of job satisfaction that remains high enough for most to recommend the profession to others.
Receiver antennas for synchronized watches and ripple control applications
Features 7/14/2010 Post a comment 100 percent of PREMO antennas are tuned in the manufacturing chain in the required operating frequency, with a bandwidth around +/- 500Hz. They use as ferrite cores as capacitors highly stable in temperature with low noise factor, so the antenna maintains its parameters between -40 and +70C.
FTDI Offer Enhanced Range of USB 2.0 to Serial UART Converter Cables
Features 7/14/2010 Post a comment A range of cables are available to for a variety of voltage I/O levels including +1.8V, +3.3V, +5.0V or at user specified levels, to provide UART interfacing to devices such as MCUs, CPUs or FPGAs at a range of voltage levels.
Anti-resonance and Vibration Suppression Application in Servo Systems
Features 7/2/2010 Post a comment Vibrations, resonances, and oscillations can cause problems in a servo-motor application. But when you turn down the control-loop gains, the driven machine responds more slowly. So what do you do when the tuning gains that run the machine with fast settling time cause it to screech and oscillate out of control?
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
