Although Heat Shrink and Cold Shrink tubing look almost identical from the surface, their internal characteristics are incredibly different. Each of the tubing has a different insulation technique, different applications, and different physical properties. The tubing can be for a variety of applications including but not limited to, splicing, terminating, and environmental seals. This kind of tubing is more cost effective and easier on the environment than most other similar tubing. Read more >>

Microchip Technology Inc. and Sigfox have launched the industry’s first FCC-certified, fully integrated RF transceiver and kits for developing IoT solutions for use on the Sigfox network. Powered by Microchip’s ATA8520E, a low-power RF transceiver with an integrated AVR® microcontroller, the new kits contain the first FCC-certified board that allows developers to easily connect to Sigfox’s long-range, two-way global Internet of Things (IoT) network – resulting in a low-cost, low-power device-to-cloud connectivity solution.

The twenty-first century has been one of the most technology advanced era to date. With new smart devices releasing simultaneously on the market it is difficult for the consumer to keep up with the latest products. Despite the difference of companies or different style of device, most of them share the same type of units used to build each of them. The same parts such as ICs and other common components are used to build the mobile devices in the industry. Read more >>

In recent years, computer chips researchers have been hard at work developing methods by which increase both the speed and efficiency of information processing. Although several methods have since come to light, none show more promise than the addition of graphene flakes. By integrating graphene flakes into existing computer chip designs, researchers believe they can produce a new breed of hyper fast chip known as “neuromorphic” chips that will function similarly to neurons in the human brain. These new chips will communicate via timed laser spikes as opposed to more traditional binary codes. In this manner, neuromorphic chips will enable computers to process multiple information sources all while immensely increasing processor speed and accuracy. Read more >>

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a dissolvable electronic sensory chip that melts inside your head. The purpose of the chip is to detect injuries within the brain or any other organ of your choosing, and transmit the medical data wirelessly. These ones may even work better when it comes to detecting problems early on, therefore preventing bigger issues. Read more >>

Headquartered in Bethel, Connecticut, Del-Tron Precision, Inc. was founded in 1974 as the world’s first supplier of commercially available sub-miniature ball slides. Del-Tron has distribution centers worldwide including within the United States, Canada, and Germany and sales locations in Japan and throughout Southeast Asia. The company offers components for automated equipment manufacturers, particularly anti-friction linear bearings for modern industrial equipment. Original equipment manufacturers use Del-Tron’s products for applications which include medical diagnostic equipment, semiconductor-processing equipment, computer peripherals, assembly systems, and scientific instruments.

Working out of Cromwell, Connecticut, Amatom is leading supplier of handles for the aerospace, electronics, telecommunications, automotive, and military markets. Established in 1957, Amatom soon became known for its Electronic Hardware Reference Manual—colloquially dubbed “The Bible of the Electronic Hardware Industry.” As of 2003, Amatom has been operating as a subsidiary of Carey Manufacturing. In addition to producing the forerunner to today’s online reference manuals, Amatom creates catches, latches, and handles—produced from brass, aluminum, steel, and stainless steel in over 35 decorative finishes, as well as giving the option of powder coat finishes in over 50 textures and colors. Amatom Corporation’s customers include the following notable companies: Read more >>

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Altera is a leading provider of programmable logic devices (PLD)—electronic components used to build reconfigurable digital circuits. Established in 1984 with the creation of the industry’s first reprogrammable logic device, Altera supports a number of end markets with its array of hardware—including automotive, broadcast, industrial, medical, test & measurement, and military. Altera employs a 2,600-strong workforce spanning 19 countries. Altera primarily produces its parts via its partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) based in Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park—the largest pure-play semiconductor foundry in the world. However, just last year, Altera and Intel struck a foundry deal together. Read more >>

Headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, Analogic Corporation is a premiere designer and manufacturer of advanced imaging equipment—be it for medical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital mammography, ultrasound or explosives detection. Established in 1967, Analogic Corporation’s nearly 50 years of experience in the advanced imaging field includes creating the world’s first instant imaging computed tomography system scanner, and developing the first logarithmic analog-to-digital converter.
