Linear Technology introduces the DC2150A, a MIL-STD-1275D compliant surge stopper. The DC2150A has an input operating range of 8V to 40V, and a 44V output clamp voltage. “DC2150A is designed to withstand input transients up to ±250V and to provide a minimum of 4A current to the load in all conditions except the ±7V ripple condition when the available current is reduced to … [Read more...]
Radio Interference Causes Headset Issues During Football Sunday
Last Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens experienced headset issues during their game against the Miami Dolphins. All football quarterbacks wear helmets with radio signal transmitters inside to allow them to receive play calls from their coaches. Last week, communication issues in quarterback Joe Flacco’s helmet caused him to run back and forth to the sidelines after every play to … [Read more...]
Chemists Develop Sensor Technology that Wirelessly Detects Harmful Pollutants
MIT chemists have developed a sensor that can wirelessly and cheaply detect hazardous gasses and environmental pollutants. The sensors can detect food spoilage in warehouses and gasses such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, cyclohexanone, and more. The sensors are favorable because they are cheap to produce, and are easy to use – since is no wiring or power is involved. “The new … [Read more...]
Wearable Technology to assist Defense Industry and Military
The Department of Defense hopes soldiers and airmen will have an advantage in combat with new technology that is integrated into lightweight and wearable equipment. The Pentagon has invested millions of dollars to increase the power of the technology and to make this wearable technology smaller and lighter, so it is easier for troops to carry. "We're really trying to augment … [Read more...]
Army Introduces Technologically Advanced Career Field
The Army has recently created a new cyber branch in its defense department for soldiers who want to defend the nation in cyberspace. This new branch will work alongside other arms and branches such as infantry and artillery. This important new branch differs since it will conduct cyberspace operations as opposed to physical operations. “This new warfighting domain brings the … [Read more...]
New Radar Technology Developed to Detect Acts of Terror
Airports contain high levels of security and surveillance; however, other areas, such as coastal areas and harbors, remain less protected against acts of terror. These areas tend to lack radar systems to keep track of small boats, meaning terrorists could easily use this to their advantage and transport explosive devices through speedboats. This lack of security will soon … [Read more...]
New Technology Charges Cell Phones in 30 Seconds
An Israeli company named StoreDot says it has developed a technology that can charge mobile phones in under 30 seconds and electric cars in minutes. StoreDot used nano-technology to produce artificial molecules, thus creating a new battery that can retain power at a higher rate and more quickly. “These are new materials, they have never been developed before. The innovation is … [Read more...]
Smart Meters Create Concerns About Privacy
Recently in Michigan, DTE Energy has installed over two million Smart Meters, which are wireless boxes that can measure and report energy and electricity usage through radio frequency waves. The meters can be useful during power outages and harsh storms – the meters will alert officials of power losses and electricity will be restored faster. However, Michigan residents are … [Read more...]
Engineers Introduce Time Cloak that Uses Fiber Optics to Hide Data
A team of engineers from Purdue University have successfully built a time cloak that hides messages in laser light. This technique is called temporal cloaking and uses lasers and fiber optics to hide data. The technique works by separating strands of light frequencies and slowing photon speed, which allows messages and data to be inserted in gaps created when photons decrease … [Read more...]
Debut of New Filter Line
TTE Filters introduces its new series of RF & Microwave Filters – the Lowpass Chebyshev (LC9S) Series. The LC9S series includes high-quality filters that can operate in temperatures ranging from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. Features of the LC9S series include fast roll-off, a low insertion loss of 1.0dB, ranges of input power from 5 to 10 watts, 50 Ohm terminations, and more. … [Read more...]
