Traqu measures in 3-D with nanometer precision
Traqu, the new 3-D measurement system from Essemtec, delivers more than traditional AOI systems can. Featuring an infrared interferometer, it creates a digital 3-D model of an object with an accuracy of a nanometer. Using this innovative model, any type of measurement can be made later, including volume, height, distance, surface roughness and more. The measuring principle works with any kind of surface, reflective or matte.
Spirent Improves LBS Coverage, Accessibility on Mobile Devices with Wi-Fi Test Solution
The rapidly-growing demand for ubiquitous location-based applications is driving the use of Wi-Fi positioning, in addition to existing location technologies such as A-GPS and Cell ID, to provide subscribers with location information more quickly and in more places. To test Wi-Fi positioning capabilities in suitably-enabled devices and chipsets, Spirent today introduced the GSS5700 Wi-Fi Positioning Access Point Simulator.
Computing For The Radiation Sentry
The MiniSentry/S is a new advance in radiation monitoring developed by nuclear industry specialists CANBERRA for the French Emergency Services. Its application programme is hosted on Eurotech’s fanless ultra low power TITAN single board computer, producing a range of sophisticated capabilities in the vital area of nuclear safety.
How to Use the Thermocouple for Temperature Measurement
The most widely measured physical parameter is temperature. Whether in process industry applications or in laboratory settings, accurate temperature measurements are a critical part of success. Accurate temperature measurements are needed in medical applications, materials research in labs, electrical/electronic component studies, biology research, geological studies, and electrical product device thermal characterization.
Agilent Technologies Chipset Software Supports picoChip Femtocell Test
Agilent Technologies and picoChip today announced a high-volume manufacturing test solution for 3G femtocell products. The jointly developed solution is based on picoChip's picoXcell semiconductors and software, and Agilent's N7310A chipset software. The new integrated manufacturing test solution delivers rapid calibration and verification testing capabilities for original design manufacturers (ODMs) and contract manufacturers (CMs).
Agilent Technologies Instruments Selected by South African Doping Control Laboratory for 2010 World Cup
Agilent announced it has been selected by the South African Doping Control Laboratory as the primary provider of gas-phase testing instruments for the 2010 World Cup. The South African Doping Control Laboratory is certified by the World Anti-Doping Agency and will be responsible for all doping testing during the competition.
Portable LCR bridge MW1008P from ORMELABS
A base precision of 0,2% for measurements from 100 Hz to 25 kHz, dual display on LCD alphanumeric screen with back-light , comprehensive measures possibilities: L, C, R (ESR), Z (impedance), M (mutual inductance) but also Q (quality factor), D (dissipation), phase angle or voltage ratio, this is what this RLC bridge offers with small size but performances only found on devices much more cumbersome and expensive.
Speed and Precision: the new generation of oscilloscopes from Pico Technology
