Rapid identification and quantification of opioid drugs is of great importance in the face of an ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States. Yet techniques for trace analysis of these opioids, particularly for fentanyl, an extremely potent synthetic drug of abuse and the main driver of the...

Modern vehicles can contain over 100 ECUs controlling everything from the drivetrain to the ADAS systems. Each ECU needs to be tested individually as well as in conjunction with other components. This white paper discusses the five main tester design challenges and five common approaches...

Connected car application developers have seen a shift from static, fixed function, device specific applications to a “cloud” connected world, vulnerable to the whims of bad actors and white hat hackers alike.

A comprehensive industry-authored white paper detailing adhesives and sealants in HEVs and BEVs – battery cells, modules, packs, motors; links to guides for body construction, paint, and vehicle assembly for electric vehicles.

Learn how to enhance your modeling and design processes for lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip devices, or any other microfluidic systems, in this webinar featuring consulting firm Veryst Engineering.

With vehicle electrification expanding, there is less noise coming from the driveline. Electrification creates quieter vehicles, and quieter vehicles require more attention to noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) attenuation. This one-hour Technical Webinar from the editors...

As wireless protocols grow more complex, spectrum environments become more contested and electronic warfare increases in sophistication. Read how you can combine artificial intelligence and deep learning with commercial off-the-shelf software defined radio hardware to train algorithms....

It’s expected that self-driving cars, compared to current vehicles, will see a massive increase in the amount of electronics used, from the addition of cameras, radars, LiDARs, and other perception devices, to the multiplication of ECUs, and the wiring challenges...

Expressions like IoT, Cloud and Industry 4.0 are common today. However, essential for every measurement is understanding the basics of the entire measuring chain. False or low-quality data doesn't improve just because it's located in a cloud, and even the smartest...

Demand for sensors that can operate in extreme conditions is increasing, in response to an overall industry trend toward additional product performance testing and monitoring. It takes an extremely durable design to make reliable measurements in extreme conditions, which may include high or...

Diesel engine makers and suppliers are ramping up their electrification efforts aimed at on-highway commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment. However, they have no plans to abandon the tried-and-true internal-combustion engine any time soon. Industry experts expect...

Advanced manufacturing technologies have unlocked new levels of performance and personalization in the automotive industry. However, legacy software tools have hindered the adoption of these new manufacturing technologies, with hours wasted filleting models, repairing...

Powertrain electrification, automation and increasing autonomy and the emergence of new mobility business models are the three dominant worldwide trends that are shaping the transformation to the next generation of mobility.

The Duke University team says its “print-in-place” advancement could lead to embedded electronic tattoos and custom bandages with patient-specific biosensors.

Counterfeit components continue to pose a great threat to electronics manufacturing. The Department of Defense provided guidelines for electronic component counterfeit detection and avoidance; however, did not specify which Inspection Test & Authentication method must be followed....

Just because your 3D printer has a high resolution doesn’t mean your parts will be accurate or precise. Understanding material options and how to optimize the part-to-print workflow is essential to get the most value out of 3D printing.

As your supplier list grows, so does the looming risk of a supplier quality failure. With even one recall able to decimate stock value and brand reputation, organizations must proactively manage supplier quality.

When it comes to aerospace and defense technology, the stakes are high. And so are the demands for maintaining conformance and optimizing processes when collecting and analyzing measurement data. How can you integrate advanced 3D dimensional measurement systems into your...

When designing an automated test system, an important but often overlooked task is the development of a signal routing subsystem that connects the test instrumentation and switching elements to the device under test. Implementing a signal routing...

Researchers at NASA Ames Research Center and MIT have a radically new idea for an aircraft wing: hundreds of tiny subassemblied bolted together to form a constantly deformable lattice.

The Stratasys V650 Flex offers the speed and precision of stereolithography printing in a large, open-source, configurable architecture. It’s built for production with a proven record of reliability to maximize productivity with unprecedented uptime.

While drones are relatively new additions to the military's stable of high-tech robotic systems, ground-based robots have been in use for more than a decade. From detecting, defusing, and disposing of explosives to working side-by-side with soldiers in the field, robots have found a myriad of applications within the...
