Panaflo® axial fans from Panasonic Industrial Co. feature a sealing process that protects circuitry, pc-boards, and connections against invasive moisture, dust, and high ambients. The fans are available for operation with a choice of signal outputs, and feature low noise and minimum vibration. Operating temperature range is -10 to 70C, and all sizes are available in either 12 or 24V dc models.
Series RVDT anti-siphon valves from Plast-O-Matic Valves Inc. prevent gravity-induced siphonage from storage tanks, and remain closed under the pressure created by the presence of liquid in a tank and piping system, but open under pump pressure. In chemical process applications, the anti-siphon valve protects a system from unwanted flow through a pump due to negative pressure in a pipeline. The RVDT actually closes tighter under the presence of vacuum at the valve outlet; yet it opens and allows chemicals to enter the system under controlled pumping, the company says.
Cryogenic valves from Valcor Engineering Corp. are for critical flow control of liquid nitrogen and liquid carbon dioxide. The valves provide maximum cryogenic fluid throughput with minimum pressure drop, the company says. Applications include coolant controlled for environmental chambers, and liquid and gas chromatography.
Flow tubes from Andrews Glass Co. are for use in equipment and instrumentation that require precise flow control. The company uses shrinking equipment to produce flow tubes to exact specifications, and can manufacture tubes to handle gas flows from 0.1 ml to 20l .
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

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
