Vidisco's Portable Digital Radiography Systems Save Time and Money for Shipyards - 2013-5-20

A recent case study shows that using Vidisco's digital radiography systems, a shipyard managed to increase its production by more than 25%. There are several reasons for the increase in productivity. Vidisco's high quality panels are particularly sensitive; therefore they can produce great X-ray images with reduced doses. In the shipyard, using Vidisco's DR systems means smaller area closure, decreased facility shutdowns and, essentially, the ability to work around the clock. Vidisco just rel ...Read More.

Magnetic Analysis Corp. Celebrates 85th Anniversary - 2013-5-20

Magnetic Analysis Corporation, a leader in nondestructive testing, is celebrating 85 years of designing and supplying innovative inspection instruments and systems for metal manufacturers throughout the world. Founded in 1928 in Long Island City, NY at a time when testing for quality purposes usually meant laboratory "sampling" techniques which essentially destroyed or altered part of the product being tested, MAC began working with electromagnetic techniques to "nondestructively" test steel ba ...Read More.

These versatile, stationary light sources can be installed overhead or in-line, and can be connected together to provide an even wider coverage area. The PowerMAX 365 Series lamps are available in four models: high-intensity and standard-intensity versions, each with or without ...Read More.

ICFO Researchers Present a Quantum Non-Demolition Measurement - 2013-5-14

In an article published in Nature Photonics, researchers from the group led by Prof. Morgan Mitchell report the observation of a highly fragile and volatile body through a new quantum-mechanical measurement technique. Researchers applied the so-called "quantum non-demolition measurement" to a tiny cloud of atoms. They were able to observe the spinning of the electrons in the atoms, and more importantly, the atom cloud was not disturbed in the process. It is the first time quantum non-demolit ...Read More.

Micromachining - Inclinations Sounded Out - 2013-5-13

A novel type of tilt sensor may extend the capabilities of ultrasonic devices already used in a range of applications. Dolphins use echolocation to locate prey and navigate. Researchers have harnessed the same principle to determine the inclination of millimeter-sized ultrasonic sensors. Echolocation is a powerful technique that uses sound or ultrasound waves to locate objects and surfaces. Ships and submarines, for example, use it to avoid collisions, and dolphins and microbats use it t ...Read More.
