SENSORS:Kavlico recently introduced a rugged, aerospace-grade differential pressure (DP) sensor for monitoring pressure drop across a turbine engine style inlet air filter, also known as an inlet barrier filter. The DP sensor monitors filter health by detecting increases in pressure across the filter element. The DP sensor incorporates a piezo-resistive sense element and is available in pressure ranges of 0-1, ±1, ±5 and ±10 PSID, with other options available. Other features include an operating temperature range of -40 to 125C with a storage temperature of -55 to 150C, an accuracy of ±1.5 percent of full scale over the operating temperature and an operating voltage of 5 to 15V dc. The lightweight device (<6.5 oz) is rugged by design and has a housing constructed of an anodized aluminum with an MTBF of 300,000 hours at normal operating temperature. The DP sensor typically provides an output of 50 mV at 10V dc excitation.
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.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.

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
