Supercritical Fluid Technologies’ SFT-100XW Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) system enables the extraction of fluids in a supercritical fluid media for laboratory analysis, teaching, and process development applications.

Supercritical Fluid Technologies’ SFT-100XW Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) system enables the extraction of fluids in a supercritical fluid media for laboratory analysis, teaching, and process development applications. Dual sapphire syringe pump technology pressures the stainless steel vessel, which can contain fluids at pressures up to 10,000 psi. The device accommodates pressure vessels of up to 500 mL and may be configured to run with multiple vessels. Large processing vessels enable the user to extract very low levels of key components from materials or to process larger amounts of bulk material than would be possible with conventional, analytical scale SFE equipment. A preheater ensures consistent temperature of fluid delivered to the extraction vessel.

United Electronic Industries’ DNx-AI-255 Synchro/Resolver interface boards come in two models – one for use with the firm’s PowerDNA Cubes and another for rack mounting in a PowerDNR Rack Tangle or Half Rack chassis.

United Electronic Industries’ DNx-AI-255 Synchro/Resolver interface boards come in two models – one for use with the firm’s PowerDNA Cubes and another for rack mounting in a PowerDNR Rack Tangle or Half Rack chassis. Multiple operating modes ensure compatibility with standard sensor wiring and excitation configurations. Each board has two fully isolated, synchro/resolver channels with independent A/D converters, and each channel offers 16-bit resolution, ±2.6 arc-minutes accuracy, and scan rates to 4000 Hz. The boards can operate either as a synchro/resolver input interface or as a simulation output device, on a per channel basis.

The ADL945PC-LTSPREADER from Advanced Digital Logic is a lightweight spreader for the ADL945PC family of single-board computers.

The ADL945PC-LTSPREADER from Advanced Digital Logic is a lightweight spreader for the ADL945PC family of single-board computers. The spreader is suited for mass-conscious applications such as UAVs or handheld devices. Its thermal performance is greater than 98% that of the original device but with a mass savings of nearly 45%. The flat-plate mounting pattern is bolt-up compatible with other 855 and 945 class thermal interface products. This secure mounting technique allows the unit to be interfaced directly with a bulkhead in any position without risk of compromising the thermal interface to the board.

Beta Transformer Technology’s DSS-3305 is claimed to provide the smallest footprint dual-channel transformer on the market while satisfying the maximum height limit of 0.185 in.

Beta Transformer Technology’s DSS-3305 is claimed to provide the smallest footprint dual-channel transformer on the market while satisfying the maximum height limit of 0.185 in. The two-channel solution for VME boards is designed for 5-V MIL-STD-1553 transceivers. It enables board layouts to accommodate both transformer coupled (turns ratio 1:1.79) and direct coupled (turns ratio 1:2.5) applications and meets MIL-PRF-21038 requirements. The unit operates from -55 to +130°C.

FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition (ME) software from Rockwell Automation is designed to help manufacturers reduce the risk of machine downtime and reach continuous-improvement goals.

FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition (ME) software from Rockwell Automation is designed to help manufacturers reduce the risk of machine downtime and reach continuous-improvement goals. This machine-level data historian application is an embedded, solid-state module hardened for on-machine data collection that features a limited software footprint, no moving parts, and reduced risk of data loss due to network or other system interruption. FactoryTalk Historian ME software helps manufacturers transform manufacturing intelligence into process improvements by leveraging reliable, real-time production data to improve product quality, speed time to market, and support regulatory compliance. The company designed the application as part of a distributed, tiered architecture that allows employees in different locations and at different operating levels to view and analyze role-appropriate historical data. By integrating data from a machine-level historian with data from a plant-level historian, operations can locate and correct sources of inefficiencies more quickly.
