MOTION CONTROL: Conemtech announced the new M50 module form factor for high accuracy time and frequency synchronization. The 29×29mm module sold under the name of M50-34 is targeted for time and frequency masters well as time subscribing devices in telecommunications and smart grid networks.
The launch is made after completing the development of a surface mounted device based on the foundation of previous chip and module developments. This latest module brings the complete subsystem for a synchronized network interface down into a singular device incorporating all the electronic components between the Ethernet transformer and the main processor. It dramatically reduces the components count, simplifies the layout and lowers the board manufacturing cost for products requiring external packet based synchronization. The software development time for the customer is reduced to, at the most, implementing a set of high level HMI commands for the system integration to change a default configuration.
This out-of-the-box technology enables any device with an Ethernet interface to synchronize to a PTP master clock in the network at 100 ns accuracy by just re-wiring the Ethernet interface. The M50 presents a stable synthonized frequency and a precise Pulse Per Second and Time of Day to the slave device. The M50-34 can be used as time source backup for a local GPS as it is able to involve a local time source in the selection process of the best clock in the network.
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
