The integrated absolute encoder enables high positioning accuracy and excellent speed stability. The design of the mounting flange allows the combination with the gearheads of the leading precision gear manufacturers. More Information
Ferroelectric-RAM (F-RAM) memory is used in a wide variety of applications, including industrial control systems, industrial automation, mission-critical space applications, and automotive systems. Safety systems for automobiles are expected to become more sophisticated over the next several years. Read More
An industrial PC (IPC) must satisfy different requirements when compared to an office computer. Depending on the application area, these requirements can differ greatly. Currently, 99% of all office computers are based on x86 technology, while an industrial PC is usually an x86 processor in a ruggedized format. This identity applies to most industrial PCs on the market with little thought given to whether this is correct. Read More
week ago or so, I had the opportunity to talk to Gagan Luthra, product marketing manager of PSoC and CapSense products at Cypress, about their new PSoC Analog Coprocessor. When I first heard about the development board they'd created for this coprocessor, I must confess my first thought was, "Yet another Arduino compatible dev board but with a PSoC this time" with almost a resigned sigh.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have found another solution for achieving water purification that is related to solar disinfection. The team has discovered a nanomaterial that can kill 99.999% of bacteria in water within only 20 minutes, significantly improving on the standard model of purifying water through UV, which requires two days.
