Slideshow: Plant Safety Takes Center Stage in Factory Automation
Blog 1/30/2012 36 comments Safety networks have become more complex, and have actually become simpler and easier to deploy for plant operators. This slideshow highlights developments in plant safety with an emphasis on integrated safety networks.
Battery Sparks Red-Hot Mystery
Sherlock Ohms 1/26/2012 39 comments Even the little 9V battery that we use in our smoke alarms and transistor radios delivers plenty of energy -- and can wreak havoc when crossed.
Gadget Freak Case #203: Smart Recycle Can
Gadget Freak 1/17/2012 19 comments This recycler determines the type of material being entered, by scanning it in or entering it via a touchscreen; and an RC servomotor opens the trash flap, dropping the material in the can.
Hot Foot Causes Power Glitch
Sherlock Ohms 1/9/2012 12 comments What would cause a high-end lab power supply glitch? A firmware engineer answers this mystery.
Generator Fries Household Appliances
Made by Monkeys 1/4/2012 41 comments Peter thought he was wise to have a generator on hand during a power outage -- that is, until he nearly burned down the house.
PCB Couldnt Take the Heat
Made by Monkeys 1/3/2012 22 comments Sometimes when you fix an appliance, you're fixing problems that began in the design process.

We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.

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
