Versatility is a design attribute. Thus, four independent, field-adjustable, solid-state pressure switches are available as part of Barksdale's PS4G microprocessor-based open-loop pressure controller. Eight different models accommodate pressure ranges from 0-15 psi to 0-9,000 psi. An LCD display gives operating conditions or settings. The latter are adjustable by a large membrane keypad. Each switch is set to activate on rising or falling values by a dedicated key. An internal dip switch and simple key pad command both furnish tamper prevention. A differential-pressure model handles input from two transducers, as in monitoring flows before and after filters. A built-in memory stores set points, and high and low readings during power outages. Data may also be recorded via a PC serial port. Barksdale: Product Code 4309.

Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
