Parvus Corp.'s ACS-5180 PC/104-Plus
MIL-STD-1275/704 power supply module is a dc/dc converter card designed for
extended temperature operation (-40 to +85C), high shock and vibration levels,
and demanding voltage transient conditions experienced by military ground
vehicles (MIL-STD-1275D) and aircraft (MIL-STD-704F) platforms, including 250V
spikes and 100V surges.
Parvus' ACS-5180 will have a stand-alone card
and integrated into DuraCOR mission computers and DuraNET routers and switch
subsystems. Featuring voltage input protections and onboard MIL-STD-461 EMI filtering, the card will
typically eliminate the need for additional in-line power conditioning/EMI
filtering integrated into such embedded systems. With a rugged mechanical
design, this small form factor card is designed as the bottom card in a PC/104
system stack to operate without heatsinking or any active cooling and provide
resistance to high levels of shock and vibration. This highly efficient,
galvanically isolated power supply can supply 80 W of power in military / civil
ground vehicle, shipboard, and aircraft applications over the PC/104 (ISA) bus,
PC/104-Plus (PCI) bus, or screw clamp terminal.

Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
