Split between two Silicon Valley venues in San Jose and Santa Clara, November's Wescon Electronics trade show featured 1,330 exhibits, 100 more than in 1996. The 32,064 attendees provided standing-room audiences for the keynote addresses and also heavily trafficked the IC Expo area. Some of the latest electronic components show attendees found include BI Technologies RC6 thick-film resistor/capacitor networks in a 2512-size surface-mount chip array. The monolithic-chip filtering device is geared for high clock-speed requirements with greater reliability, and reduced lead inductance in a small package that allows soldering close to active components ...AVX showed its Accu-P(reg) series RF/microwave capacitor in an 0402 size, featuring capacitance values down to 0.1 pF. A low-loss silicon oxide dielectric and highly conductive electrodes produce extremely low equivalent series resistance and guaranteed high Q through 2,400 Mhz ...IRC displayed its WSM Series of molded-case surface-mount wirewound resistors having resistance down to 0.05V and capable of handling up to 2W. The epoxy encapsulated devices are compatible with all pick-and-place equipment and reflow solder processes ...The AMPOWER(TM) Multi Pin Plus series from AMP offers flexible molding to easily create connectors for signal to 150A current systems. The mold housing modules can be combined to produce one-piece connector configurations, from one to six inches long, for many types and arrangements of contacts. Manufacturers can specify their own connector design of two, three, four or eight contact positions. ...Phoenix Contact was on hand with its recent PLUSCON family of industrial plug connectors. These are rated up to IP68 for protection against dirt and waterspray while the plastic and metal housings resist corrosion from salt and other chemicals ...And, W. L. Gore & Associates presented the latest in its line of Hybrid Ribbon cables. Accommodating any combination of cabling, such as coaxes, twisted pair, power pods, fiber optics, or fluid tubes, they are clad in GORE-TEX(reg) for high-temperature resistance, flex life, and tight bend radii.
By refining topologies and using new fluid technology, Moog's new peak sine drive controller increases available power without increasing controller volume.
Lantronix Inc. has expanded its line of controllers for sensor networks with the release of a rugged controller that improves management of automation systems used in a number of industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, and chemicals.
Inspired by the hooks a parasitic worm uses to penetrate its host's intestines, the Karp Lab has invented a flexible adhesive patch covered with microneedles that adheres well to wet, soft tissues, but doesn't cause damage when removed.
From Dell / Intel® New Paradigms in Design Work Scott Hamilton, vertical market strategist for Dell Precision workstations, 5/2/2013 3
Early in my career, I worked as a draftsman and remember the days of drawing on vellum with numbered pencils and Mylar with plastic lead. This was a fun experience in the sense that I ...
I've been using workstations for more than 10 years and love finding ways to get more performance from my system. With demanding professional applications that require more power each ...
A lasting memory from my first job as an engineer in an auto assembly plant is standing on hard concrete at six in the morning, vending-machine coffee clutched in hand, listening to ...
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
