Few people in Switzerland know the display industry as well as Dieter Heimgartner. More than 40 years ago, in 1980 to be exact, he co-developed STN (super-twisted nematic) technology, co-inventing the globally significant STN patent, which had a decisive impact on LCD technology then and continues to shape it today. So, when it comes to determining the direction in which the display market is heading, there are few more qualified to comment than Dieter Heimgartner – who, you’ll be interested to know, is not only the co-founder of DMB Technics but also its CEO.

This article by RECOM Power discusses what specifications a true ‘ready to use’ product needs to meet. Mobility applications put heavy demands on power converters. While commercial products may meet some of the required specifications, extensive external circuitry is typically required for overall compliance with standards such as EN 50155 for railways.

New models of the i7A series with up to 60 A and adjustable current limiting

ICP Germany offers four classes of All-in-One PCs (AIO PCs) that are suitable for use in medical technology. The classic AIO PCs for use as a point of care solution, AIO PCs with internal batteries for mobile use on nursing trolleys, AIO PCs with additional video inputs for use in operating rooms and AIO PCs with additional GPU functionality for the use of AI technologies. Both classic screen diagonals from 15 to 24 inches and processors of different performance classes are available.

The HG-F uses TOF technology to reliably detect at distances of up to 3 m. This means that the sensor can also be installed at some distance from the object to be measured so as not to disturb employees. The movement radius of cobots or robot arms can also be kept clear in this way.

Greater flexibility and efficiency in plant and mechanical engineering

Conec offers Hybrid Connectors for almost every performance class in the four sizes B12, B17, B23 and B40. CONEC Hybrid Connectors will soon be standardised in accordance with IEC 61076-2-118.
