Cover Story

Putting Data in Its Place

If an R&D organization isn't careful, data can cost money rather than enhance productivity or competitiveness. A new wave of informatics tools can bring it back under control.

New Life for 3D Printing

Mature additive manufacturing technologies present new opportunities for R&D prototypes, high-end manufacturing facilities, and hobbyists alike.

Vacuum Pumps
R&D April Issue Oerlikon Product WebOerlikon Leybold Vacuum's DRYVAC DV 450 combines dry screw technology with a compact design for silent operation, low ambient temperature, and minimal consumption of cooling water. A smaller version of the DRYVAC DV 650, the DV 450 features an optimized drive for suction speeds of 450 m³/hr and an optimized engine efficiency with 5.3 kW power consumption at final pressure.
Corrosion-Resistant Vacuum Pumps
R&D April Issue KNF Neuberger ProductThe KNF LABOPORT corrosion-resistant vacuum pumps from KNF Neuberger are compact diaphragm pumps that feature PTFE-wetted parts, condensate-resistant multi-port FFPM valves, and PTFE-bonded diaphragms. The pumps use no pump oil, operate without maintenance or water requirements, and perform quietly, even when continuously running corrosive solvent vapors.
Dry Vacuum Pumps
R&D April Issue Edwards ProductThe nXDS dry scroll vacuum pumps from Edwards are designed for scientific, laboratory, and research and development applications. The oil-free pumps use no lubricants in the vacuum. An advanced scroll design and tip-seal technology provide the pumps with a long lifetime; tip seals may last up to 5 years and can be replaced in less than 10 min in the field using basic tools.

JEOL to launch world's smallest solid-state NMR probe

According to JEOL Resonance, a new benchmark for resolution and benchmark will be set with its introduction next week of a new 0.75-mm solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The probe is capable of high resolution sample analysis by spinning the sample at 110 kHz, the world's fastest spinning speed for NMR.

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.
