- Cutting-edge CCTV level crossing surveillance system for Network Rail (01/05/2021)
  
  Leading telecommunications & security systems integrator for transportation & commercial markets, TEW Plus has worked in the rail industry for decades. After a strong recommendation from a large rail construction company, TEW Plus approached industrial computing & engineering specialist, Amplicon, based on its proven track record in providing rugged, reliable & repeatable computing solutions.
- Keeping EMI from LED drivers under control (01/05/2021)
  
  Nearly all new lighting applications today now use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the clear preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED (light-emitting diode: a semiconductor diode which glows when a voltage is applied) cannot fulfill the required functionality by itself: it must be operated with a suitable power supply.
- Laying the groundwork for rail electrification (01/05/2021)
  
  Network Rail recently laid out its preliminary plans to decarbonise the rail network, which involved finding alternatives to diesel trains & electrifying more than 7,000 miles of track by 2050. The addition of more electric trains to tracks, alongside greater electrification, will increase the need for robust electrical infrastructure to support the network in a clean & safe way.
- What are the best new opportunities for designing with LEDs? (01/05/2021)
  
  Since display, embedded computing & touch control specialist, Anders joined forces with optoelectronic expert, Selectronic in 2020, it has expanded its LED portfolio to include infrared (IR) & UV (ultraviolet) LEDs, among others. As Xuesong Hu, Product Manager at Anders explains here, both these technologies are making headlines right now as potential allies in our fight against COVID-19…
- Two-in-one: Color Laser Film Translucent for labelling & connection at the same time (30/04/2021)
  
  Human skin, wax & leaves: at first glance, there’s no apparent connection between them. However, contact with a light source shows what they have in common: they’re translucent. Translucence refers to the partial light permeability of an object and is a characteristic that can frequently be found in sectors like household appliances, mobility & consumer electronics using backlit displays with symbols or text.
- Two power supplies extend PWR-01 Series output options to 2000W (30/04/2021)
  
  Telonic Instruments offers the latest 2kW models, expanding Kikusui’s popular PWR-01 range of benchtop power supplies.
- World's first 3.5" embedded single board computer able to withstand extreme cold weather environments (29/04/2021)
  
  Now available from Impulse Embedded, the CS551 embedded single board computer (SBC) has a market leading temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.
