ELECTRONICS:Taiyo Yuden’s new NRS6010 (6.0 x 6.0mm, with a maximum height of 1.0mm) and NRS5012 (5.0 x 5.0mm, with a maximum height of 1.2mm) wire-wound power inductors feature thinner profiles and superior dc characteristics. The NRS6010 and the NRS5012 are the latest addition to Taiyo Yuden’s “NR” line of wire-wound inductors.
The NRS6010’s rated current 1.0A (dc bias allowed current at an inductance of 10µH), and the NRS5012’s rated current of 3.1A (dc bias allowed current at an inductance of 2.2µH) can manage high currents, achieving the best dc bias characteristics in the industry.
Designed for use as choke coils in dc-dc converters for slim, compact digital devices, the NRS6010 is ideal for LED backlighting for notebook and netbook PCs. The smaller NRS5012 is suitable for devices such as hard disk drives smaller than 2.5 inches and for compact digital still cameras.
The NRS6010 and the NRS5012 sample price is $0.30 per unit.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New disc magnet motors fit into the design trend of stepping up to closed loop performance while maintaining the cost advantage of stepper motor technology.
At the Design News webinar on June 27, learn all about aluminum extrusion: designing the right shape so it costs the least, is simplest to manufacture, and best fits the application's structural requirements.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
