(Hiperbaric: Miami) -- Hiperbaric, a global leader in high-pressure technologies, will give an exclusive first look at an innovation that will improve food processing and preservation: high-pressure thermal processing (HPTP).
Invented by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and further…
(Siemens: Munich) -- Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC) in West Bend, Wisconsin, operates its Applied Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTC) as a leading facility for training individuals to work in the manufacturing sector. With an emphasis on CNC, tool-and-die design, and tool-and-die making,…
Manufacturing Day, or MFG Day, has grown to mean many things since it was officially proclaimed in 2012. Some celebrate on the first Friday in October with an event at a manufacturing facility or a school. Others participate in a regional celebration at an events center. Some areas have a…
A team of scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has investigated the behavior of hafnium oxide, or hafnia, and its potential for use in novel semiconductor applications.
Materials such as hafnia exhibit ferroelectricity, which means that they are…
(MIT: Cambridge, MA) -- By mining data from X-ray images, researchers at MIT, Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator, and the Toyota Research Institute have made significant new discoveries about the reactivity of lithium iron phosphate, a material used in batteries for electric cars and in…
(NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) -- NewTek GAR series spring-loaded gage heads are used in automated dimensional gaging applications as part of inline inspection processes where the sensor probe must move out of the way between readings. The probes of these LVDTs extend when taking dimensional measurements…
The difference between common (or random) cause and special (or assignable) cause variation is the foundation of statistical process control (SPC). An SPC chart prevents tampering or overadjustment by assuming that the process is in control, i.e., special or assignable causes are absent unless a…
Not only people need to stay cool, especially in a summer of record-breaking heat waves. Many machines, including cellphones, data centers, cars, and airplanes, become less efficient and degrade more quickly in extreme heat. Machines generate their own heat, too, which can make hot temperatures…

Adding legs to robots that have minimal awareness of the environment around them can help them operate more effectively in difficult terrain, my colleagues and I found.
We were inspired by mathematician and engineer Claude Shannon’s communication theory about how to transmit signals over distance…
(Aras: Andover, MA) -- Aras, which provides a powerful low-code application platform to design, build, and operate complex products, announced that Kyocera Unimerco is using Aras Innovator to manage data, information, and business processes for product life cycle management (PLM).
Kyocera Unimerco…
(AIMS: Dayton, OH) -- AIMS Metrology has announced its partnership with OGP, a division of QVI. The 5-axis coordinate measuring machine OEM is a single-source provider that builds and assembles its machines in the U.S. The affiliation with OGP allows AIMS to provide multisensor measurement with…
(CloudNC: London) -- CAM Assist, from CloudNC, automatically generates professional machining strategies in seconds at the click of a button, accelerating CAM programming time by up to 80% and saving hundreds of production hours.
Precision manufacturers using CAM Assist can become much more…
Meetings give me a rash. A really bad one. One that not even calamine lotion can soothe. The only things worse than meetings are reports. Standard daily reports, weekly reports, hourly reports. Reports on the status of reports. If I wasn’t already insane, these things would drive me insane.
Take a…
You often hear about self-driving cars and their levels of autonomy. When can drivers completely remove their hands from the steering wheel? This also applies to robots. How can robots become fully autonomous?
What are autonomous robots?
Let’s look at the levels of freedom for self-driving cars…
(Exergyn: Dublin) -- With global surface temperatures soaring past highs not seen for millennia, the need for climate-friendly cooling has never been greater. Increasingly frequent events directly linked to climate change are drawing attention to the damaging effects of traditional refrigerant…
(ZEISS: Oberkochen, Germany) -- More than 300 ZEISS employees worldwide are getting involved with A Heart for Science (AH4S).
The program is supported by ZEISS employees’ willingness to get involved and give of their free time; their objective is to awaken enthusiasm for nature and technology…
