Energy Harvesting Subsystems for Wireless Sensors
Energy Harvesting Subsystems for Wireless Sensors

Nextreme Thermal Solutions has developed two new energy harvesting subsystems for the plumbing and HVAC industries. The subsystems are the latest additions to Nextreme's Thermobility energy harvesting platform that uses thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert available thermal energy into electric power for a variety of autonomous self-powered applications.

Mini robots invade U.S. nanospace

Imina Technologies' miBots are gambling die-sized nanomanipulators which, unlike conventional systems, are virtually untethered and move independently. These miniature robots can travel around a microscope stage at 2 mm/sec and stop instantly, then manipulate and probe samples from biological cells to semiconductors.

Pressure Gauge with Metric Fittings
Pressure Gauge with Metric Fittings

Omega Engineering's DPGM409 covers the full spectrum in pressure measurement with gauge, sealed gauge, absolute, compound gauge, vacuum, and barometric pressure ranges.

Diffusion Tubes

Kin-Tek Laboratories Inc.'s Trace Source configurable diffusion tubes extend the range of compounds that can be used to include subliming solids and viscous liquids. These tubes have a removable reservoir that allows filling with the capillary removed, so the component compound can be any consistency.
