G-Power Remote Sensing series are the latest and highest-powered addition to this company's sensor line. The series can support up to eight tool-mounted sensors, and also provides a rectangular head version for difficult mounting situations. The product's design eliminates slip rings, which are prone to damage and corrosion, and provides a connector-less hook-up to transmit power and signals.
656T temperature transmitters accept two thermocouple inputs, which is said to lower costs and reduce space requirements. The loop-powered units are said to accept universal thermocouple and millivolt input signal ranges, provide isolation, and output proportional 4-20 mA dc signals. The product is designed for panel shops and end-users with restricted budgets and tight space requirements.

Microminiature accelerometers
6000 Series microminiature accelerometers now feature detachable cables, an inverted seismic element for mechanical isolation, and other features normally found only on standard-sized units. The product is designed for general purpose work, and is available in shear mode or case grounded designs, as well as a high temperature unit which operates at up to 500F.

Motion analysis cameras
MotionXtra? HG 100+ series cameras are designed for high-performance digital imaging. Similar to the company's HG line of imagers, these products use a more cost-effective sensor. The cameras are rated to a reported 100g in any axis, and are designed specifically for severe environmental conditions, such as automotive crash sled, airborne, and range operations.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
