As power levels for board components have risen, thermal engineers have been forced to design larger and more innovative heat sinks than ever before. Along with the thermal challenge has…
To help prevent injuries and increase productivity for end users, machine builders are incorporating safety into the design of metal forming and bending machines. Safer machines make operators more confident…
Innovative design enhancements make flat cables strong candidates for applications where round cable was once the natural choice.
A new type of flat cable has been developed by Cicoil Corporation…
The stage is now set for IoT to start seeing widespread deployment in both consumer and industrial spheres. The purpose of the following white paper is to look specifically at…
This white paper discusses the industry's most commonly used interface standards, RS-232 and RS-485, reviews the functionality and features of a dual protocol transceiver, and discusses multi-protocol application examples, including…
Cooling fans consist of an aggregate of airfoils, i.e. blades positioned around a hub that is driven by an electric motor. Due to their airfoil nature, a pressure differential is…
The origins of the ambient derating curve go back decades to when the U.S. military specified the performance requirements of components used in the design of their equipment. The purpose…
The X-500 and X-55 SSDs use an internal DRAM, but only management data is cached in the DRAM, no user data (as done in other SSDs). User data is always…
Standard industrial interfaces such as RS-485 and RS-232 are commonly used for unidirectional and bidirectional data transfer in a range of applications that encompass everything from medical monitoring to test…
Versatile hybrid connectors provide a new level of flexibility when cabling highly automated systems. Along with the established application for cabling servo motors, M23 and M40 hybrid connectors are well…
Since the introduction of safety mats in the 1950s, a host of new technologies have emerged for safety applications, including safety laser scanners in the 1990s. Until recently, the argument…
Defense development technologies and strategies are locked into an international race for dominance, control and security protection. Effective EW (electronic warfare) systems are dependent upon staying ahead of competitive nations…
