ATLANTA Drive Systems Inc. has expanded its range of servo worm reducers, building a high-torque, economy and basic version to go with the existing high-precision reducer. The high-torque model has 150 percent of the torque capacity of ordinary servo-worm reducers, and a backlash level of less than 1 arc-minute. It has a redesigned output for higher bearing capacity, plus an option for ISO 9409 flanged connections. The economy model has the same torque capacity of an ordinary servo-worm reducer, with a less than 6 arc-minutes backlash level. The basic version has 90 percent of an ordinary servo-worm reducer, and a backlash level of less than 12 arc-minutes. There is a range of motor couplings and mounting flanges available for almost any servo motor, and the hollow bore output works well with output shafts, pinion shafts or other drive elements.

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.
