At New England Wire Technologies we design and manufacture superior quality custom cable and nothing displays that better than our Hybrid Cables. These complex configurations give you the ability to combine numerous cables of one type, or multiple types into one composite cable. This allows tasks usually performed by separate cables to be combined into one multifunctional construction. Examples include:
o Components like USB, other high speed signal cables, or fiber optics can be added to include communication capabilities to your cable.
o Extra lumen and/or vent tubes can be added to transfer power as well as liquids or gas in one cable.
o Linear members or reinforced jackets can be added to your multiconductor to give it superior strength.
o Thermocouple extensions can be added to fulfill your main objectives while adding a temperature measuring element.

ProPell™ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyether block amide (PEBA) are compounds for the improved manufacturing and handling of medical catheters. These compounds dramatically reduce tackiness and friction in soft, flexible polymers while maintaining other physical properties of the unmodified polymers. ProPell low friction compounds use a proprietary, non-migratory additive that enhances the surface of parts without substantially altering the physical properties of the polymer. Tests show that parts produced from ProPell TPU have a dry coefficient of friction of 0.05, representing a 66% reduction compared to the unmodified TPU polymer with a hardness of 80 Shore A.

Photometrics introduces the Iris 9 and Iris 15, two new solutions from a new CMOS camera series designed specifically to deliver large field of view imaging at a reasonable cost to OEM integrators. Featuring 4.25µm pixels, both cameras deliver frame rates in excess of 30 frames per second and use state-of-the-art, high QE CMOS sensors for quantifiable data, useful for a wide range of assays and measurements. The cameras enable instrument manufacturers to design products that image larger areas than ever before with the low light performance expected from modern CMOS cameras.

RFI/EMI Shielding is produced in many different shapes and sizes but the ever steady march towards miniaturization means that they aren't generally getting larger.  Fotofab's unique process is particularly well suited to making small things. For a standard formed can (without a trimming operation) we can produce shields with a minimum internal height of .024"(.61mm) with a wall thickness of .008" (0.2mm) and with a secondary trimming operation we are able to produce RF Shields with a minimum internal height of .010" (.254mm) with a wall thickness of .008"(0.2mm).

Thinner or thicker materials may be specified for any shielding can but in general we recommend that you stay below .010"(.25mm) for small or low profile cans.  It helps with bending but thinner material also takes up less space and has less mass.

Pearson Electronics has recently designed several new thin current transformers with a thickness of approximately half the size of the stock current transformers. The new thin Model 8105-03 is shown next to our stock Model 2878. The new design allows a more compact installation resulting in lower circuit inductance.
These thin designs incorporate Pearson’s wide-band frequency response and 1% accuracy, or better, across the mid-band. The model 8105-03 has a 0.25 inch aperture, 0.1 V/ transfer impedance and a 3 dB bandwidth from 50Hz to 40MHz. The maximum rms current rating is 6 Amperes. Peak currents up to 300 Amperes and rise times as short as 5 nanoseconds can be viewed faithfully. The new line also includes the Model 6535-03 and 7713-03. Specifications for all three models may be found on our website, www.pearsonelectronics.com

The 157 Optical Thickness Gauge employs Bristol Instrument's proven optical interferometer-based technology for the most reliably accurate non-contact thickness measurement available. Precision thickness information is critical in the development and production of a variety of materials. These include ophthalmic products such as contact and intraocular lenses, medical products including balloon catheters, stents, bags, and tubing, as well as specialty plastic films, adhesives, laminates, and flexible packaging.
The model 157 measures the absolute thickness of a single layer or multiple layers to an accuracy of ±0.1 µm and with a repeatability of ±0.02 µm. This performance is guaranteed over long periods of time by continuously referencing the measurement to a built-in HeNe laser that has a wavelength recognized as a standard of length by NIST.

Norman Noble, Inc. introduces SynchroFlash, a new machining capability that synchronizes Swiss turning, milling and laser machining into one, highly efficient and cost-effective operation. SynchroFlash machining provides cost savings, faster production, better quality and higher yields versus competing manufacturing methods, which require multiple, separate processes. Manufacturing parts designed for Swiss turning & laser machining previously required secondary manufacturing steps and equipment. The same parts, as well as parts that were previously cost-prohibitive to manufacture, can now be made in a single, validated machine. SynchroFlash achieves its extraordinary efficiencies by eliminating the start-stop-start nature of producing parts on separate equipment.
