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 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
