LCD module

The STN LCD module provides a viewing area of 13.9 x 10.6 mm with 36 x 24 pixel resolution. Due to its small size, it operates well with compact electronic devices that need to display text, graphics, or moving images in a small area. Designed with multi-color LED backlighting, it may be used in 1U rack mount units and in LED matrix and 7-segment display applications lacking information. LCD module complements the company's fully programmable IS Series SMARTSWITCH. NKK Switches, www.nkkswitches.com. Enter 619

Wire harness design

HarnessLink® v2.3 is a wire harness design automation tool intended to provide speed, control, and accuracy to the electrical wire harness design, engineering, and manufacturing cycles. An integrated viewer allows users to produce logical and physical schematics. The tool eliminates manual drawing and multiple connector pin assignments, and reduces harness prototype rework costs. Altair Engineering Inc., www.altair.com. Enter 620

3D CAD software

Expanding on the Dynamic Assembly Motion and Dynamic Collision technologies, SolidWorks® 2001 Plus allows users to move components in a 3D design and see how they physically interact with each other in real life. With top down configurations, the Windows-based software also permits users to view "what-if" design variations. Available in 10 languages, the software also offers a complete set of visual display and mouse-driven control capabilities that reduce design steps, minimize the need for dialog boxes, and lessen visual clutter. SolidWorks Corp., www.solidworks.com. Enter 621

Tapes

Pressure sensitive tape and foam products are die-cut and customized for aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, and pharmaceutical applications. Tape parts may be manufactured in perforated, sheet-fed, roll form, or as individual pieces, and printing is available on such substrates as paper, mylar, cloth, PVC, and polypropylene. Tolerances reportedly may be held at 0.001 with rewind slitting, while lathe slitting can cut widths down to 1/16 inch. Pro Tapes & Specialties Inc., www.protapes.com. Enter 622

Magnets

These high-temperature magnets may be used for temperatures as high as 550C in medical devices exposed to repeated autoclaving, as well as aerospace and defense, process controls and sensors, telecommunications, and industrial applications. Additionally, the magnets have high intrinsic coercivity Hci, high to moderate energy product (BH)max, and straight-line extrinsic demagnetization curves. Electron Energy Corp., www.electronenergy.com. Enter 623

OneSpace solutions

A program built on OneSpace Select technology, OneSpace Success, allows users to benefit from OneSpace Collaboration, the company's design communication software, without a full application installation. Customizable and scalable, the program is reportedly available at all times, and is secure and reliable with an infrastructure that includes Internet connectivity, firewall crossing, and application resources. It also supports all popular operating systems, Internet connections, and CAD systems. CoCreate Software, www.cocreate.com. Enter 624
