Electromagnetic Compatibility is becoming more and more significant, especially in light of continually evolving EMC legislation and as such has become an important aspect in the design of electronic equipment and systems.

Ever since the first days of space flight, mathematical modeling that simulates processes, devices, and other physical phenomena has become an integral part of the research and development of engineering designs. However, it has also been restricted to engineers who are experts in the physics being modeled, the...

Long-term growth projections for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are fueling research in electronic and battery technology with the aim of improving safety, extending lifespan, enhancing performance, and lowering cost. These challenging and sometimes conflicting requirements...

Test engineers spend as much as 50 percent of their time (or even more in some cases) actively dealing with obsolescence in their test program sets. Read about different solutions in the marketplace to help you overcome the challenges you face today. Also...

A Cambridge University team developed an artificial "chameleon skin" that changes color when exposed to light. The material supports a range of applications, including active camouflage, large-scale dynamic displays, and maybe even medical diagnostics.

GORE® PYRAD® fabric technology is uniquely engineered to extinguish flames as they are encountered. After being exposed to heat and flames, the laminate maintains its physical integrity and continues providing protection to the wearer.

HBM provides custom-engineered solutions for a wide variety of OEM applications. This paper will explain the process behind a custom designed sensor solution from initial scope to performance definition, through the design and build cycle, to verification and validation. The basics of a strain gage based...

The automotive and aerospace industries, in particular, are increasingly looking for innovations that reduce weight, resulting in greater fuel efficiency. From car bumpers to airplane interiors, composites and plastics are being used more commonly for functional components that are lightweight and...

The volume of electronics in vehicles is growing exponentially as more and more technology is added. This has in turn added complexity to the way electronic sub-systems in a vehicle are connected to each other. While tools exist to help design the wiring within a vehicle, there is...

Moisture is the silent killer of munitions and sensitive electronics. AGM’s HydraLok™ Advanced Desiccant is a dense, shapeable, desiccant that provides superior moisture adsorption throughout a wide range of temperatures. It’s strong enough to be used as a...

Researchers from the University of Maryland have created a fabric that automatically regulates the amount of heat passing through. The engineered yarn expands and collapses based on temperature and humidity, cooling and warming a wearer as needed. What do you think?

Jitter is a common way to express performance of a clock circuit. Learn how to interpret timing and jitter measurements, and how advanced jitter measurements can improve timing characterization and troubleshooting. Get a brief orientation of simple timing analysis measurements on...

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes and materials pose real benefits for the aerospace industry through manufacturing, performance and supply chain improvements. However, qualification of AM aircraft parts is a challenging endeavor.

Cloud processing provides design companies an opportunity to reduce time to market and speed up innovation while maintaining or lowering operating costs. As companies look to leverage cloud capacity for faster turnaround times on advanced process node designs, they can be...

Does your organization still rely on paper, spreadsheets or other manual processes to manage quality? If so, there's significant hidden cost and risk. Now is the time to leave these manual processes behind.
