Rubber Latex Is Safe for People Suffering from Allergies
A natural rubber latex material is made from a desert plant, called guayule, grown extensively in the southwestern United States. The product, developed by Yulex Corp. (Carlsbad, CA), is safe for people with Type 1 latex allergy. According to the company, it also outperforms both synthetic and imported natural rubber latex.
Voltmeter Enables Contact with Minimal Charge Transfer
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) has the potential to destroy a device. And yet, most products intended to measure site-specific voltage on ESD-sensitive devices actually transfer charge upon contact. Though the ESD riddle has continually gnawed at the industry, one company claims to have the answer
Modular Ac-Dc Switching Power Supplies Are Digitally Controlled
A new line of switching power supplies features advanced digital management capabilities. The iMP series of ac-dc switching power supplies from Astec Power (Carlsbad, CA) includes a range of hardware modules. Single-, dual-, and triple-output modules, in power ratings from 600 to 1500 W, allow designers to build custom solutions. Modules can be configured in a selection of four customizable MP cases. Cases can hold up to seven modules, with a choice of outputs ranging from 2 to 60 V dc. Input voltages of 85–264 V ac or 120–350 V dc are available.
