The new PCI Express® (PCIe) high-speed data acquisition card
with on-board field programmable gate array (FPGA) for real-time data
processing, provides higher sampling rates, faster measurement throughput and
even more flexibility to OEMs and many test and measurement engineers, while
maintaining precision and cost effectiveness. The Agilent U1084A Acqiris
high-speed data converter leverages the performance of Agilent's leading-edge
technology and know-how to meet the most demanding requirements. The product's
PCIe form factor and flexible architecture are ideal for use in medical
imaging, scientific instrumentation, non-destructive testing (NDT) and even the
validation of mixed-signal semiconductors in automated test equipment. The
extreme performance of the digitizer is also suited to advanced research in to
high-energy physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics. The product represents
the first implementation of Agilent Acqiris know-how and technology in to the
PCIe form factor. Designed for easy
implementation into desktop PC's and other PCIe systems, the card provides
incredible performance for integration as the key high-speed acquisition
component in any design. On-board FPGA
processing maximizes measurement throughput, by providing real-time data
reduction. Off-the-shelf firmware
includes signal averaging and peak analysis running at the full 4 GS/s
acquisition rates of the card. Combined
with up to 520 MB/s bus transfer with 4x PCIe measurement data can quickly be
passed to a host processor for application specific processing. The product
includes much Agilent IP designed specifically for high-speed data
acquisition. Most notably the on-board
FPGA is capable of finding, in real-time, the position of a trigger with a time
resolution of 10ps. This provides
increased timing resolution over alternative solutions in a PCIe digitizing
card that can be simply integrated as an off-the-shelf component.
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.

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
