Designed for electronics enclosure, this compound line comes in just about any thermoplastic resin system, using stainless steel fibers, carbon fibers, or nickel-coated carbon fibers. They come in PP, ABS, POM, PC, PBT, PA-6, PA-66, PPS PSul, PES and PEEK. In addition, TPU and various fluoropolymers contain these conductive additives. Stainless steel fiber additive compounds come in either fully compounded or dry-blended form. The latter has all additives in the resin except the stainless steel fibers, which can blend into the resin in a concentrate. Carbon fiber versions offer >30 dB, >40 dB or >50 dB shielding effectiveness, depending on the percentage of carbon additives. The nickel-coated carbon fiber versions have 90 dB shielding effectives with as little as 15 percent in the compound. Both carbon fiber and nickel-coated carbon fiber versions only come in fully compounded form. Premix Thermoplastics Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/4928-622
Inforbix is leveraging its CAD and product data access technology to power up a free iPad app that lets mobile users search and access engineering data.
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.
