Integrate Maximum Energy Density and Ductility for Reactive Materials

Ru/Al Multilayers Integrate Maximum Energy Density and Ductility for Reactive Materials

Established and already commercialized energetic materials, such as those based on Ni/Al for joining, lack the adequate combination of high energy density and ductile reaction products. To join components, this combination is required for mechanically reliable bonds. In addition to the improvement of existing technologies, expansion into new fields of application can also be anticipated

NeuroBytes

Neurotransmitter” cables are used to connect presynaptic axon terminal outputs to postsynaptic dendrite inputs. Blue = Inhibitory , Red = Excitatory . The balance of excitatory and inhibitory input determines if the NeuroBytes fire an action potential or not.The cables plug in with the tab facing away from the board. To unplug, pinch the tab

Lumileds gets 400 lm from 4.8mm circle for MR16 GU10 bulbs

Lumileds gets 400 lm from 4.8mm circle for MR16, GU10 bulbs

Lumileds is competing against multiple miniature LED packages with an device that emits 400lm from a 4.8mm diameter circle for spotlights. “We are providing a high flux, high efficacy LED that improves the quality of light and avoids the ‘showerhead effect’ with distributed, multi-die solutions,” said product manager Ahmed Eweida.Called Luxeon 5258, it comes in

Internet of Things Power Meter

Internet-of-Things Power Meter

The Internet-of-Things Power Meter (IPM) is a device fixed on top of the regular household power meter that provides detailed information about the electricity usage. Modern power meters have a LED blinking every time a Watt is used, the IPM detects these flashes using a light sensor, counts them, saves the values to an SD
