Real environmental data in real time for simulations
In computer aided vehicle engineering, you need accurate data on various environmental influences. This is the only way developers can conduct tests that simulate the experience of a real car. At the Hannover Messe, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute are presenting a quick and inexpensive system that collects real data at normal driving speeds and processes this data in real time as fine-grained and coarse-grained data for 3D driving simulat...
Microfluidic pressure sensors provide accurate measurement
The Elveflow microfluidic pressure sensor from Elvesys can be plugged anywhere into a microfluidic set-up in order to record the pressure on computers and control the flow accordingly using Elveflow pressure pumps. The pressure sensors are designed to fit Elveflow microfluidic pressure pumps.
Tester supports LTE-A 4x4 MIMO 2CCs evaluation
Anritsu released four software packages for evaluating LTE-Advanced UE supporting DL 4x4 MIMO and DL CA 5CCs. The explosive increase in content-rich services, such as mobile video on demand, is driving deployment of the faster LTE-Advanced technology by network operators worldwide, which is made possible using key technologies such as CA, which aggregates several component carriers into one, and MIMO, which uses multiple antennas for communicatio...
Analyser opens door to advanced device characterisation
An analyser enabling a minimum of 100-pA level dynamic current measurements with a maximum of 200MHz bandwidth, 1GSa/s sampling rate and 14- or 16-bit wide dynamic range has been unveiled by Keysight Technologies. The CX3300 Series Device Current Waveform Analyser is a new category of instrument and is ideally suited for researchers struggling with high-speed transient current measurements during advanced device characterisation and engineers wor...
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES introduces series of METPOINT measurement equipment
For the last few years BEKO TECHNOLOGIES have been consolidating their position as the leading provider of solutions for treatment of compressed air and condensate. At the same time a number of innovative measuring devices have been brought to market such as the METPOINT OCV which is the best way for companies who require the highest levels of 'oil free compressed air' to continuously measure the remaining oil vapour content.
Versatile tester targets wide range of flash memories
The new T5830 memory tester is the latest member of Advantest’s T5800 product family, optimised for testing a wide range of flash memory devices used in mobile electronic devices. As portable applications are booming, the global market for flash-memory test systems is projected to reach $148 million by 2018, according to market analysis firm VLSIresearch.
Test solution aids drive to live IP media productions
Claimed to be an industry-first, the hybrid SDI/IP media analysis platform, Prism from Tektronix enables a smooth transition from SDI-based to IP-based infrastructure. The new test and diagnostic solution will be demonstrated at the NAB Show, taking place in Las Vegas April 18-21). The broadcast industry is at the beginning of a revolutionary migration to an all-IP infrastructure.
DMR repeater test options enhanced
A DMR Repeater Test Option has been released by Cobham for its 8800 Series Digital Radio Test Set. This option enables the 8800 Series to test the transmitter and receiver of a DMR repeater base station. The 8800 Series is able to generate the signalling protocol that is necessary to “wake-up” the DMR repeater and cause it to start transmitting.
Energy recovery helps return power to its source
In the latest addition to its power system automatic test equipment (ATE), Intepro has announced the release of the ELR 5000 modular, programmable DC load. Housed in a 6U, 19” rack enclosure, the ELR 5000 can accommodate up to ten completely self-contained, fully programmable DC load modules with 320W nominal power each.
3D AOI at NEPCON China
CyberOptics will exhibit with Kasion Automation Ltd. (KAL) at NEPCON China and will demonstrate the new SQ30003D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system. The system is said to maximize ROI and line utilization with multi-view 3D sensors that capture and transmit data simultaneously, and in parallel, accelerating 3D inspection speed versus alternate technology.
