Kepco announces an option for its 200W and 400W BOP models to optimize their
ability to drive capacitive loads. This option (designated by the suffix "C")
makes the BOP more suitable for a wide variety of applications such as solar
cell/panel testing, testing of piezoelectric devices, capacitor testing,
driving and testing of capacitive transducers, and powering industrial or
lab-type applications with capacitive or capacitive-resistive loads.
BOP C option units are designed to operate in a stable
manner in Voltage or Voltage Limit mode for capacitive loads up to 10
millifarads. They are also stable when driving any R-C parallel combination
where load R is > or = to nominal value and C is < or = to 10mF. Load R
(nominal value) = nominal output Voltage/nominal output Current (e.g., BOP
36-6MC, R = 36/6 = 6 Ohms.) Static specifications representing accuracy for
various influence parameters are identical to the standard BOP models. Ripple
and noise specifications are better (approximately 50 percent lower) for the C
option units compared to the standard BOP. Six models (ranging from 20 to 100V
source/sink capability) are available at present. Three additional models are
expected to be available in the coming months.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

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
