Saelig Company, Inc. announces the introduction of the Saelig SAE106S Digital Microscope, a versatile tool designed specifically for PCB inspection, but it will also prove to be useful in many other fields such as coin or mechanical part examination. The SAE106S may be used as a standalone inspection device for circuit board examination using its […]

This is an interesting ‘chicken and egg’ question and it came to mind when I first heard of Keysight’s new 110 GHz oscilloscope last September. Having worked in the test and measurement industry most of my professional life, I fully appreciated the importance of this event. Test and measurement equipment, like oscilloscopes, have to be […]

Electronic instruments like oscilloscopes respond to electrical potential difference measured in volts. Some applications require the measurement of other physical characteristics like light or sound. Many instruments provide ways to use other sensors or transducers to convert non-electrical parameters into voltage and measure them. This gives the ability to use existing sensors or transducers with […]

There are cars out there that carry quite a hefty price tag. When it comes to crash tests, how do manufacturers ensure the safety of those expensive vehicles without losing tons of money? APEX ONE helped to answer that question by going behind the crash-test scenes of Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars Koenigsegg Automotive […]

A team of researchers at Utah State University’s Splash Lab is laying the groundwork for future water-walking drones. With high-speed cameras pointed at a tank of water used for the experiment, the researchers recorded elastic spheres skipping across the water. The resulting research unveiled the underlying physics and has led to the discovery of a new […]

A prototype electric bike with smart steering assistance is in the works, thanks to a collaboration between TU Delft and bicycle manufacturer Koninklijke Gazelle. If the cyclists is in danger of tipping over, the bike’s smart motors in the handlebars will adjust the steering. The system also maintains a stable speed above 4 km/h.  “It’s […]

SenseNet is a fast, low-cost, and reliable integrated sensor system developed by ENSCO, Inc. that can detect biological threats in real time within buildings. ENSCO, Inc. has been awarded a $2.9 million, 18-month contract from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) to continue SenseNet’s development. “Biological and environmental health hazards can pose […]
