Sensor has magnetic personality Tru-Position Magnetics claims its TPM sensor can do what no other sensor can: accurately measure the X, Y, and Z position of an object through any solid (non-magnetic) material. It consists of four Hall-effect devices (HED) arranged in a circular pattern, like slices...

Boston, MA-- For years, syringe pumps have played an important role in the removal and infusion of small volumes of fluids in industrial applications. Designed to feed samples of varying viscosities at precisely controlled rates, they turn up everywhere. Syringe pumps control spotting in thin-layer...

Capstan-drive pump Medical laboratory equipment and other analytical instruments often deal with minute volumes of samples and reagents. The MBP 2000 handles precision volume-dispensing duties with a friction-based syringe-drive mechanism. It works like this: The syringe plunger is linked to a flat...

Butler, WI-- By adding an electrohydraulic circuit to a truck's braking system, engineers have created a new type of traction control. Used on Euclid Hitachi 60- and 85-ton off-road trucks, the new system is important for the off-road large-vehicle market. Such trucks typically don't come with...
