Nobody likes to find that a simple unplugged connector is the cause of a failure that shuts down a system for a long time. That's especially true when a hard-to-reach plug is on an orbiting spacecraft. NASA's hoping to avoid that type of problem with a rewrite of its Specification S-311-P-822, which addresses connectors. When Compact PCI connectors are selected for NASA space flights, Hypertronics Corp.'s cPCI connectors with the Hypertac “Basket of Wires” are now a connector of choice. Connectors from the subsidiary of the Smiths Group have already been used on the Solar Dynamics Observatory, the Mars Science Lab., the Hubble Space Telescope and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible. Read More
