Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces Endevco® Radiation Hardened Accelerometers Operating to +399°C

January 26, 2012, San Juan Capistrano, California, USA – Meggitt Sensing Systems, a Meggitt group division, has introduced the Endevco® model 2273A series, a family of radiation hardened piezoelectric accelerometers for vibration measurements within nuclear and power generation environments.

Offered with a high sensitivity of 10 pC/g, even with its high-temperature operation, the Endevco® model 2273A series is available in both top (model 2273AM20) and side connector (model 2273AM1) versions. Both are radiation hardened for exposures to gamma flux up to 6.2 x 1010 and integrated neutron flux up to 3.7 x 1018 N/ … Read More → "Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces Endevco® Radiation Hardened Accelerometers Operating to +399°C"

Bilayer Graphene Works as an Insulator

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A research team led by physicists at the University of California, Riverside has identified a property of “bilayer graphene” (BLG) that the researchers say is analogous to finding the Higgs boson in particle physics.

Graphene, nature’s thinnest elastic material, is a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Because of graphene’s planar and chicken wire-like structure, sheets of it lend themselves well to stacking. 

BLG is formed when two graphene sheets are stacked in a special … Read More → "Bilayer Graphene Works as an Insulator"

Build Secure Applications with ITTIA DB SQL

January 25, 2012 — Bellevue, WA — Developers of mission-critical applications and business intelligence solutions can experience critical safety vulnerabilities if malicious systems on the network or malware applications intercept access to confidential data. These faults can be caused by lack of security for data management and data distribution.

The new release of ITTIA DB SQL is a significant step forward, as its new security and authentication features offer flexible data safety techniques to address these problems. Using these comprehensive features, software developers can achieve the greatest level of data security in embedded applications by encrypting both network … Read More → "Build Secure Applications with ITTIA DB SQL"
