Sensicast Systems' Sensinet 3.0 claimed to be first end-to-end wireless mesh sensor network that can be tailored using self-configuring building blocks

Utilising a wireless IR technology built-in to the ST50 and ST75 flow meters and a standard, low cost PDA, field technicians can obtain measurements, make setting changes and read trouble-shooting codes without ever having to open the instrument.

A revised design of the Brabender bulk bag discharge station BagMaster is now available for bulk bags with or without liners.

The discovery of traces of photoinitiators in foodstuffs has demonstrated the importance of migration values and residual content.

AchemAsia 2007 (International Exhibition-Congress on Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology), will be held from 14–18th May 2007 in Beijing, in the People’s Republic of China

Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute have worked with a manufacturer of electric irons to create a computer simulation of a drop test

In a recent experiment, an encoded photometrics infrared spectrometer was tested for its capcity to resolve chemical homologues with significantly overlapping spectral features

As demand continues to grow for cleaner, more efficient wayts to use fossil fuels, field demonstrations have now started in the US of a new steam boiler

A hot topic in engineering magazines around five or six years ago was integrated ac induction motors and inverter drives.

Since the introduction of JVL’s integrated ac servo motor – the MAC motor – several years ago, there has been a great deal of interest in integrated stepper motors due to the numerous benefits associated with integrating the driver and controller in the motor unit.

Smoothness and very high performance for a wide range of brushless motor applications are available with the new MDrive17Plus Motion Control unit from IMS.

NASA scientists have used a modified infrared camera system for carrying out maintenance inspection of the Discovery space shuttle during its mission in July 2006

Aspecialist company in the field of polymer electronics has introduced the world’s first fully functioning polymer-based eight-bit radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that operates at the industry standard radio frequency of 13.56MHz.

Not too long ago, when the instrument panel on a popular car consisted of just five or six instruments and five or six auxiliary (secondary) controls to operate the radio and heating system, the idea of making a hand gesture in a designated space to operate one of these controls would rightly have been seen as an unnecessary extravagance at best.
