UNIPOWER modules at the heart of “silent” power shelf from Communications Audit
Designers and builders of rack-based systems are not generally space constrained when it comes to specifying the power source. Not for them the constant need to consider size, weight and heat dissipation and very few need to be concerned with other factors such as the electrical "noise" generated by the power supply itself. And, if noise is an issue, most designers will select a linear power supply to do the job.
DSM’s Stanyl ForTii boosts connector performance at Amphenol East Asia, Taiwan
Industry trends such as miniaturization, integration or "thinnovation", combined with the move towards Cloud Computing, will mean that areas such as the server market will depend increasingly on reflow soldering assembly technology. The required power supplies to drive each of these systems can easily reach 500V or more.
Altium and NXP collaborate to deliver component content online
Altium announces the release of a new range of board-level components for industry-leading ARM Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4 & Cortex-M0 based microcontrollers from NXP Semiconductors to their subscription customers through AltiumLive.
CMOS Image Sensors Begin Breaking Sales Records Again
After hitting a rough patch in the second half of the last decade, CMOS image sensors have finally regained growth momentum, and this once high-flying optoelectronics market segment is now expected to set record-high sales each year through 2016 (see Figure), according to IC Insights' new 2012 Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes (O-S-D) Report.
Success of 3D NanoCompass will enable Baolab to create low cost, smart, reconfigurable Inertial Measurement Unit
Baolab Microsystems has announced that it expects to be able to modify the structures that it designed for its 3D NanoCompass to build a range of other motion sensors and, ultimately, to create low cost, smart, reconfigurable Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). These NanoIMUs will use Baolab's patented, award winning NanoEMS technology to create nanoscale MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) within the standard metal structure of a high volume manufactured CMOS wafer.
AMETEK Acquires Dunkermotoren
AMETEK, Inc. today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of the parent company of Dunkermotoren GmbH, a leader in advanced motion control solutions for a wide range of industrial automation applications. The privately held manufacturer has expected 2012 sales of approximately €155 million ($200 million) and is headquartered in Bonndorf, Germany.
Cyntech seeks distributors for low-cost Raspberry Pi box
Cyntech Components has designed a compact, low-cost enclosure for the Raspberry Pi computer. The enclosure, which is available in bright pink or black, has openings for the connectors - including a recessed slot to protect audio and video connections, windows for LED indicators, non-slip rubber feet, and two slots on the back to enable the box to be mounted on a vertical surface.
Endomagnetics Expands its Horizons
Cambridge company Endomagnetics is receiving enquiries from across the world after it featured on the BBC World Horizons programme recently. The Horizons series features companies and technologies that have the potential to address some of the planet's most pressing challenges.
Endomagnetics Wins ACES Award
Endomagnetics and one of its founders has picked up a major accolade by being recognised in the Science Business Academic Excellence Awards (ACES). The company picked up the Life Sciences Award, given by the distinguished panel of judges to the most successful university spin-out company. Endomagnetics is developing advanced magnetic sensing technology for use in breast cancer staging, based on technology developed between University College London and at the University of Houston.
