Described as a “display system having coherent and incoherent light sources,” the patent application suggests that the projector would be laser-based, and be both cheaper and more power efficient than conventional light projectors, while also overcoming the so-called “speckle” problem sometimes seen with laser projectors. What’s perhaps most interesting, however, is that the patent application […]

Precious Metal Clad Wire Is One-Tenth Cost Of Pure Precious Metal
Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire features precious metal metallurgically bonded to a core material with 2% or more cladding thickness offered in sizes from 0.002” to 0.125” O.D. Providing superior or equal performance to pure precious metal, they can include platinum for oxidation-, corrosion-resistance, and bio-compatibility, gold for contact resistance, and silver or palladium which […]
Power Connectors Accept Larger Wires
Binder-USA is now offering M12 and 7/8″ field-attachable connectors with larger screw clamp terminations. This change will allow the connectors to accept wires up to 14 AWG. The ability to use a larger wire gauge make the connectors suitable for connecting power applications typically found in industrial environments. The Series 713 M12 connectors with 4- […]
Ultra-Thin Ferrite
In an effort to accommodate increasing market demand for high-performance EMI ferrites that will also fit inside smaller electronic packages, Leader Tech announces the availability of a low-profile, flat cable FerriShield Ferrite. Engineered for SCSI2 and thin flex circuits, this solid ferrite style provides up to 245 ohms of impedance at 100 MHz and can […]
Lift Stage Offers Precise Elevation of Large, Heavy Loads
Aerotech’s AVS1000 series stages offer the ideal solution for applications that require positioning of large or heavy loads over very small incremental movements in elevation above a horizontal plane. The low profile and precise motion capability make these stages ideal for use in semiconductor manufacturing and inspection, automated tool alignment, machine vision inspection systems, laser […]
Limit to Nanotechnology Mass-Production?
In a paper published on April 21, in IOP Publishing’s journal Nanotechnology, Professor Mike Kelly, Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics, University of Cambridge, stated that you cannot mass produce structures with a diameter of three nanometres or less using a top-down approach.
