Capacitor'sdc Series
of Coin Cell Style Supercapacitors provide on-board memory backup a longer life
spans than batteries. With 0.15 to 8 Farads of capacity and voltages up to 5.5 WV
dc these devices supply power to prevent loss of data during a power
interruption and are available in three case configurations for horizontal,
vertical and center-lead mounting. The dc Series includes values and lead
combinations with case sizes as small as 6.8 x 4.6 mm. The operating temperature
ranges from -40 to +85C and 90-95 percent relative humidity. Other features include
fast charge/discharge cycling, IEC 62391 and RoHS compliance and low ESR.
DC Series
capacitors board mount in applications such as smart meters, HVAC
controls, building automation, business phone systems, appliances, instruments
and other microprocessor-based devices. Because of their high power
density, they can help to reduce board size and case requirements.
UK-based Plastic Logic and French company ISORG have created what the pair tout as a first in flexible printed electronics: a large area, conformable, organic image sensor printed on plastic.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
