- A quarter century of T&M innovation! NI's PXI celebrates 25 years of being the leading industry standard for automated test (07/11/2022)
  
  At this year’s NI Connect event in Munich, customers will join computer-based, software-centric T&M firm, NI to celebrate the 25th anniversary of PXI, a core technology that revolutionized test and measurement (T&M) engineering.
- Editor’s comment: Engineers will save the day… (02/11/2022)
  
  Regular EPDT readers will know that I often write about the key role engineers play in addressing the grand challenges facing society – from improving energy security & confronting climate change, to ensuring universal access to clean drinking water & maximising the benefits of AI for all. Engineers are tasked with creating, developing, building & maintaining the technologies to solve these problems & improve everyday life...
- A hotbed of innovation: New research reveals engineering adds up to an estimated £645bn to the UK’s economy annually (02/11/2022)
  
  On National Engineering Day, new research from the Royal Academy of Engineering has revealed that the UK is an engineering powerhouse, with the profession generating up to an estimated £645bn gross value added (GVA) to the UK’s economy annually – equivalent to 32% of the country’s economic output.

- The amazing technology behind EV batteries (01/11/2022)
  
  Unlike a single energy storage element, such as a fuel tank, electric vehicle (EV) battery packs consist of hundreds of individual lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery cells in a long series. When not operated within a carefully controlled range, the capacity & lifetime of these battery cells can diminish & diverge over time & operating conditions.
- Residual current monitoring offers an alternative to insulation resistance measurement on production equipment (01/11/2022)
  
  Often, conventional insulation measurements in production systems can be quite costly. In some cases, systems must be shut down completely, or components such as frequency converters or switching power supplies disconnected, because the sensitive semiconductor components can be damaged by the test voltages.
- Determining the potential of your AI algorithm begins with measurement (01/11/2022)
  
  At the core of every AI algorithm, explains Jeff Harris, Vice President, Global Corporate & Portfolio Marketing at electronics T&M expert, Keysight Technologies, are three basic ingredients: 1) the ability to measure; 2) knowing how much of what you measure needs to be processed; and, of course, 3) the ability to process more than one input at a time.
