New Law Focuses on Security of U.S. Power Grid
Arizona lawmaker, Rep. Trent Franks, has introduced new legislation to push the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to focus more on U.S. power grid security. Franks reportedly fears electromagnetic pulse blackouts and geomagnetic storms that can overload and disable U.S. power grids, thus interrupting everyday life. "The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act will … [Read more...]
ROHS and CHINA-ROHS Compliant Power Connectors Introduced
Schurter introduces its new high-temperature power connectors according to IEC/UL 60320. The appliance inlet, series 1681, offers screw-on or snap-in mounting options. The cord connector is available in two different designs: a straight series (1658) or an angled series (1659). “The high-temperature appliance inlets and cord connectors are designed according to IEC for 16 A at … [Read more...]
Smart Meters Create Concerns About Privacy
Recently in Michigan, DTE Energy has installed over two million Smart Meters, which are wireless boxes that can measure and report energy and electricity usage through radio frequency waves. The meters can be useful during power outages and harsh storms – the meters will alert officials of power losses and electricity will be restored faster. However, Michigan residents are … [Read more...]
Sunspot Could Create Solar Flares and Superstorm
A sunspot, big enough to fit 10 Earths inside of it, known as Active Region 12192 has just aligned with Earth and could cause major problems. This sunspot is the largest to be seen in over 24 years. The sunspot began facing Earth in October and created six eruptions; however, it did not create any coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The sunspot then disappeared for two weeks before … [Read more...]
Family of Rugged Inductors offers High Inductance and High Performance
Coilcraft introduces its new family of magnetically shielded power inductors – the XAL15xx family. These rugged inductors offer high inductance, high performance and high Isat versions. The inductors in the XAL1510 Series are available in two versions, the XAL1510 and XAL1580. The XAL1510 is compact and has measurements of 15.4 X 16.4 mm with a maximum height of 11.0 mm.

Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. has introduced its new line of digitally programmable attenuators, which are available in 5, 8 or 10 bit. These attenuators are ideal for use in electronic warfare, radar applications, and military and space communication systems. Features of the line of attenuators include fast and reliable switch speeds, high linearity, low frequencies, SMA … [Read more...]
MIT Researchers Develop Power-conserving Chip for Smartphones
Researchers from Eta Devices at MIT have developed a power-conserving chip believed to increase battery life in smartphones. The technology will allow batteries to last twice as long and work to conserve energy in cell towers. Batteries drain so quickly because power amplifiers typically stay at maximum voltage at all times, even when devices are not being used. The new chip … [Read more...]
New Field Generator Introduced to Industry
DARE!! Instruments presents its patented RadiField Triple A – a cost effective and efficient field generator. This RadiField Triple A is “no less than a revolution in EMC immunity testing,” according to researchers. Typically, immunity testing setups are complicated and involve an amplifier, coupler, RF power meters, interconnecting cables and a combiner; however, the … [Read more...]
