IEC/TR 61000-3-14:2011(E) is a Technical Report which provides guidance on principles that can be used as the basis for determining the requirements for the connection of disturbing installations to low voltage (LV) public power systems. For the purposes of this part of IEC 61000, a disturbing installation means an installation (which may be a load or a generator) that produces … [Read more...]
Researchers Investigate New Technique to Stop Steel Corroding
Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are looking into how applying electromagnetic fields (EMF) of high intensity to steel can protect against corrosion.Dr Andreas Chrysanthou and Dr Anatoli Babutskyi at the University’s School of Engineering and Technology have been awarded €278,680 for a two-year FP7 Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship (IIF) project to … [Read more...]
Strawberry-Picking Robots Reduce Waste
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) scientists have developed an imaging technology that can identify the ripeness of strawberries before they are picked. NPL's new technology uses radio frequencies, microwaves, terahertz and the far-infra red. These four parts of the electromagnetic spectrum all have potential to safely penetrate the crop layers and identify whether the crop … [Read more...]
Radar Array Sees Through Walls
MIT’s Lincoln Lab researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side. The researchers’ device is an array of antenna arranged into two rows — eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting below — and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart. But it has powerful … [Read more...]
