Vox Power Ltd has announce the EIRE300 series of 300W open-frame ac-dc power supplies for medical and IT equipment use, that measure 4 x 2 x 1inch. 300W is with forced air and only 200W (115Vac) is available continuously if only convection cooling is available – with ambient temperature caveats. Up to 375W can be delivered for 1s. Different models ...
PhotonDelta, the European hub for photonics, will launch a worldwide competition for new applications for photonics chips at PIC Summit 2024 (Eindhoven 15 October). Partners include imec, LioniX International, Smart Photonics, Phix Photonics Assembly, Ephiphan and Bright Photonics and engineering community platform Werolver. Engineers are invited to use photonics ICs in designs to tackle challenges in, for example, healthcare, AI, ...
Vishay has introduced a pair of 1008 (2.5 x 2 x 1.2mm) power inductor types. “The commercial IHLL-1008AB-1Z and Automotive Grade IHLP-1008ABEZ-5A achieve the same performance as the next-smallest IHLP inductor in a 55 % smaller footprint, while offering operating temperatures up to +165°C, a wider range of inductance values, and lower dc resistance,” according to the company. Offering inductance ...
A simple non-contact camera technique has been used to analyse blood lipid levels after someone eats high-fat and low-fat meals, and agrees well with blood sample based measurements. Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) is the technique, where a light source obliquely illuminates the surface to be analysed and the camera take a perpendicular view. In this case, the surface was ...
Review Display Systems (RDS) offers a design-in support for the range of industry standard TFT displays modules it supplies. The UK company’s range of medium-sized TFT displays are suitable for a range of industry sectors, applications and operating environments. It can design-in, support and supply TFT display modules in sizes ranging from 5-inch to 12-inch and with a range of ...
Vishay has added five solenoid-based haptic actuators to its IHPT range, which come with operation licenses from Immersion Corporation. There are four sizes, from 29 x 21mm to 44 x 37mm, that can provide forces up to 120N. Not immediately obvious from the photo, each transducer us in two parts: the top left part is a separate laminated metal bar ...
Health-related chemicals can be detected on dry skin, according to the National University of Singapore (NUS), which developed a stretchable ‘ionic-electronic bilayer hydrogel’ sensor with the Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star). The chemicals are known as solid-state epidermal biomarkers. “These biomarkers, which include cholesterol and lactate, are found in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the ...
Recom has created a 15W ac-dc power supply range that meet a wide range of international specifications including those for medical use. RACM15E-K supplies come in 80 x 23.8 x 22mm open-frame form with Molex connectors (photo below), or in a 83 x 26.4 x 29.5mm IP20 enclosure with push-in terminals and a DIN rail clip (right) – they are ...
At DAC 2024, Efabless celebrated a milestone of 40 commercial companies designed chips using its chipIgnite and Google-sponsored OpenMPW programme. Of these, some are ready for production volumes, the majority are at the prototype/proof of concept stage, said CEO, Michael Wishart. The platform allows start-ups and smaller companies to prototype designs and innovate without having to buy a license, he ...
4mm diameter elastomer fibres are a promising substrate for electronics in clothing, according to Nottingham Trent University, which is investigating washable stretchable medical wearables. To make the electronic fibre, a long thin flexible PCB is helically wound along, and bonded to, the elastomer core, with its components facing inwards. “The basic idea has been around for centuries – it’s the ...
