Controlling Prosthetic Limbs with Electrode Arrays
To design prosthetic limbs with motor control and a sense of touch, researchers have been looking at ways to connect electrodes to nerve endings on the arm or leg and then to translate signals from those nerves into electrical instructions for moving the mechanical limb. However, severed nerve cells on an amputated limb can only […]
Triple Row Header Strips and Triple Row Solder Tail Socket Strips
The Mill-Max 804 and 805 series interconnects are ideal for high pin count I/O and board-to-board applications. The triple row pin field allows for signal connections to be more densely packaged. Also, placing and soldering one connector rather than three SIP sockets or a single and double row combination increases assembly efficiency and improves positional […]
Piezo-Motor-Actuated Mirror Mount with Integrated Controller-Driver
Newport Corporation, a worldwide leader in laser and photonic solutions that Make, Manage and Measure Light, introduces the new CONEX-AG-M100D, a remote-controllable, piezo-motor-driven mirror mount with an integrated 2-axis absolute position sensor. It combines the high-angular position sensitivity of the field-proven Agilis piezo-motor direct-drive technology with exact position information from a novel, patent-pending, 2-axis, absolute […]
