ELECTRONICS:Molex Inc. has released two additions to the ImpactTM Backplane Connector System, its high-speed, high-density connector system for the telecommunication and data networking market. The Impact CoPlanar Connector System and Impact Mezzanine Connector System provide the ultimate flexibility to optimize designs for superior mechanical and electrical performance. Both products will be demonstrated by Molex in booth 509 at DesignCon, Feb. 2-3, Santa Clara, CA.
The Impact Backplane Connector System is available in two- to six-pair configurations with a complete range of guidance and power solution options. It provides data rates up to 25 Gbps and superior signal density up to 80 differential pairs per inch.The Impact system’s broad-edge-coupled transmission technology enables low cross talk and high signal bandwidth while minimizing channel-performance variation across every differential pair within the system. In addition to sharing these features, the two new products provide the following:
Impact CoPlanar Connector System: Available in multiple compliant-pin design options on both right angle male and right angle female connectors. The system’s mating interface provides in-line staggered, bifurcated contacts that provide 2 points of contact for long-term reliability performance and built-in, ground-signal sequencing. This reduces the average mating force per connector to improve the mechanical mating performance of the system.
Impact Mezzanine Connector System: An end-to-end stackable solution utilizes Impact leadframe and backplane header technologies for superior electrical performance. Impact 5 pair mezzanine allows 67 differential pairs per linear inch and provides data rates up to 25 Gbps. The current stacking height is 40 mm, but can be customized to heights between 18 and 40 mm. Impact 5 pair power solutions are part of the product line, featuring 100A per module and four discrete power lines per module, aligning to our 40 mm stack height
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.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.
As energy efficiency becomes more and more a concern for makers of electronics devices, researchers are coming up with new ways to harvest energy from sound vibration, footsteps, and even electromagnetic fields in the air.

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
