Haier Home Wireless Heater.Initially targeting applications in China, this wireless heater is part of a connected home system containing a wireless network gateway, wireless network software and upgradeable network appliances and electric devices. The heater uses Helicomm's IP-Link 1000 Wireless Module (http://rbi.ims.ca/4913-549), which meets the ZigBee protocol and the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The 1.2 × 0.9 × 0.4-inch package contains the radio, microcontroller, storage and antenna power. Using the regional 915 MHz ISM band, the networking platform has seven channels with a maximum data rate of 76 Kbps and transmitting range of 150m. The current draw is 32 mA while transmitting and 250 ľA when sleeping. For more information on ZigBee Wireless mesh networks, go to http://rbi.ims.ca/4913-550.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
