Melexis has announced the MLX91377 ASIL-ready Linear Hall sensor IC suitable for use in safety-critical automotive systems such as electric power-assisted steering (EPAS).

LASER COMPONENTS now also sells PacketLight’s fail-safe C/DWDM systems.

NewTek has announced the PTZUHD, a pan-tilt-zoom camera (PTZ camera) that transmits full 4K p60 video directly to NDI-compatible receiving devices across a standard network. The NewTek PTZUHD camera allows content creators to capture and deliver superior quality UHD video with native support for resolutions up to 2160p 60 using a 30X optical zoom lens, and a high-quality Sony CMOS sensor.

Nichia is following up from its showcase at the RadTech 2020 conference and exhibition in Orlando, Florida, USA. The company’s latest solutions are well suited for curing applications, but an extended portfolio is of particular benefit, as UV LED is known to be incredibly effective in killing viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

LASER COMPONENTS is the official distributor of Bolb UVC LED products in the UK, Europe and the USA. The company is able to offer surface mount LEDs and arrays with output power from 25mW to 2.5W.

The Khronos Group, an open consortium of companies creating advanced interoperability standards, has announced the ratification and public release of the Vulkan Ray Tracing provisional extensions, creating the first open, cross-vendor, cross-platform standard for ray tracing acceleration.

Berlin-based machine vision company Bi-Ber has announced that in addition to standard optical empty mould check systems and customer-specific designs, four standard systems for up to 1050mm wide moulds are now available. High-resolution GigE colour cameras detect any minimal product residues.

FRAMOS, a global partner for vision technologies, has announced that it now offers the new ECX335S OLED microdisplay series from Sony Semiconductor Solutions. Featuring outstanding brightness, contrast and resolution plus a wide viewing angle, this solution is suited to the fast-growing market of augmented reality (AR) devices.

LASER COMPONENTS supplies robust thermal pyroelectric detectors manufactured in standard transistor style packages with have long expected lifetimes making them well suited for fit and forget applications such as gas sensing, detecting intruders and identifying the presence of a flame.

FLIR Systems has published an application spotlight that describes how incorporating a borescope and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera into routine maintenance protocols can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors, by inspecting natural gas compressors.
