EPSRC puts £16m into low-carbon research

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has released the funding it promised for low-carbon ‘Supergen’ national energy research centres last year. £15m will be shared between the centres, which are to be multi-disciplinary collaborations between universities, academic bodies and industry. Getting £5m each, the three Supergen Energy hubs will be focused on off-shore renewable energy, ...

GMSL camera operates up to 15m from host for remote robotics

Long distance cameras in the NileCam series operate up to 15m from the host processor while still supporting low latency and high frame rates, says e-con Systems. The cameras use GMSL technology, a serdes technique, to carry high speed video, bidirectional control data and power over a single coaxial cable. The cameras can be used where long ...

140kV probe for bench work

Vitrek has introduced a 140kVdc 100kVac smart bench-top test probe. Called HVL-150, it is intended to expand the measurement range of the firm’s Model 4700 precision high-voltage meter. The probe has a proprietary low thermal coefficient attenuator that minimises the effects of self-heating (0.2ppm of reading per KV2), and low capacitance for ac measurement. Alone, ...

Simple constant current LED drivers for automotive

Diodes has released simple LED driving chips for regulating current in strings of LEDs, particularly in cars and other road vehicles – some of which match parts from Infineon and Nexperia (see table below). Called the the BCR4xxUW6Q series, they come in SOT26 (SC70) packages and are expected to find use with LEDs displacing conventional bulbs ...

Simulation helps decide which molecules interact best for building nanomaterials

A simulation developed by Kyoto University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology could help scientists decide what molecules best interact with each other to build nanomaterials from scratch. The approach involves connecting the chemical properties of molecules with the nanostructures that form as a result of their interaction. A machine learning technique generates data that ...

8cm high Ethernet switch

 Advantech has introduced an 8cm high EKI-2525LI Ethernet switch. The EKI-2525LI is an unmanaged 5-port Ethernet switch in an ultra-small enclosure whit fits in the palm of a hand. Compact devices such as PLCs typically have a height of only approximately 10 cm. Conventional Ethernet switches however, are usually taller than this, resulting in a ...
