DSM Launches The First Hydrolysis Resistant Arnite A Polyester For Dimension-Critical Auto Parts
Royal DSM has launched Arnite A-X07455, the first high performance PET (polyethylene terephthalate) engineering plastic that is highly resistant to hydrolysis. This breakthrough development opens up opportunities for significant weight and cost benefits over metal in automobile engine compartment applications.
Mobile Test Platform Targets LTE and LTE-A Base Stations
Aeroflex has launched the TM500 Multi-UE LTE-A Test Mobile, which supports carrier aggregation across multiple mobile terminals or user equipment (UE). Carrier aggregation, a key component of LTE-A, allows multiple carriers comprised of either contiguous or non-contiguous spectrum to be added together, allowing wider channel bandwidths -- and higher data rates -- to be achieved.
Hand-Held Instrument Trio Undertake Multitude of Tasks
RIDGID has launched three new hand-held test and measurement tools, the micro DM-100 digital multimeter, the micro CM-100 digital clamp meter and the micro HM-100 temperature humidity meter. The multimeter (pictured) features a double-moulded, water-resistant (1m) IP67 housing, and it can withstand the harshest jobsite conditions. It is a True RMS and AutoRanging unit, giving fast, accurate measurements in all applications.
GL Enhances PacketExpert with WAN Impairment Emulation
GL Communications announce the release of its enhanced PacketExpert with IPLinkSim or IP WAN Impairment Emulation. IP WAN Link Emulators help to test the performance of such network-dependent applications with user-defined bandwidth values, latency, background traffic, and packet loss rates.
Dual-Channel PCIe Digitiser Samples Up to 3.2GS/s
Agilent Technologies has introduced the U5303A, a compact dual-channel PCIe digitiser with 12-bit resolution, sampling up to 3.2GS/s, and on-board real-time processing.
