Hermetic LVDT displacement sensor for tough contaminated environments

NewTek’s HATR series of ac-operated LVDT displacement sensors are hermetically-sealed for use in tough contaminated environments such as pulp and paper mills. “As ac-operated linear position sensors, HATR Series is not limited by internal electronics that can fail in extreme environments,” according to the company. They have welded 19mm metal housing and can operate at ...

Toshiba adds super junction n-channel power MOSFETs

Toshiba has introduced eight super junction N-channel power MOSFETs to strengthen its  DTMOSVI series. The  650V-rated devices claim to deliver a 40% reduction in terms of their drain-source on-resistance x gate-drain charge (QGD) figure of merit (FoM) when compared to the previous DTMOS generation. As a consequence, they can raise the efficiency of switch-mode power supplies ...

Imec QA tool accelerates inspection process and delivers finer granularity

Imec spin-off Deltaray has introduced a quality control technology called  ‘Accelerated 3D XRAY’. The technology allows manufacturers to inspect products for possible defects up to 100 times faster and with a much finer granularity (up to 50 microns). This speed enables total quality control, as every manufactured item is internally checked in a fully automated ...

Perovskite solar pushes up efficiency in hydrogen-making cell

Scientist in Australia have used a custom perovskite solar cell to increase the efficiency of solar hydrogen production close to the point thought to be commercially viable. Solar-to-hydrogen production from water and light was 17.6% efficient, despite the relatively humble solar materials involved – silicon and perovskite – compared to a 20% target set by ...
