Will a Power Electronics Technology Roadmap ever become a reality? There have been several workshops and efforts made toward producing such a roadmap, but so far there has been more talk than progress. The need exists, but the more salient question is whether the manpower and expertise are available to produce such a document...
A new variant of Concerto, Vector Fields Inc.’s advanced RF and microwave design software, offers 3D finite-difference time domain (FDTD) analysis at a much lower cost than the full version, but without any compromise in performance or accuracy...

Attenuation Kits Quickly Set Up Multiple Attenuation Levels
Designed for portability and ease of use across a variety of applications, Timbercon Inc.’s fiber-optic attenuator kit product line can be used to quickly produce multiple levels of attenuation for just about any fiber-optic cable, according to the compmany. The kits come in LC, SC, ST, MU, and mixed connector configurations and provide precise attenuation for a wide range of applications, including component testing, and laboratory, manufacturing, and field applications. ..
Evaluation Kits Available For ARM Cortex-M3 Processors
Luminary Micro and Keil have joined to create the Stellaris LM3S811 Evaluation Kit for Luminary Micro’s Stellaris family of ARM Cortex-M3 processor-based controllers. The kit is both an evaluation platform for the Stellaris LM3S811 and a serial in-circuit debug interface for any Stellaris microcontroller-based target board, covering the design gamut from evaluation to prototyping to application-specific design...
Rugged Solenoid Works Well In Hydraulic Applications
The Spool-Lock solenoid from Magnet-Schultz of America (MSA) offers durability in harsh conditions, making it well-suited for use in mobile hydraulics applications. The device withstands submersion and water ingression up to IP-X9 and its rugged construction also provides protection against severe temperatures...
