TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
New Polymer Fibre Microsite from OMC
one of Europe’s longest-established specialist manufacturers of optoelectronics and a pioneer in industrial fibre optic transmission, has launched a new microsite -
www.polymerfibre.co.uk - dedicated to explaining
O MC,
the advantages of polymer fibre and making it simple for customers to buy exactly what they need. Explains Commercial Director, William Heath:
“Polymer fibre offers two main benefits - cost and ease of handling. It’s the perfect technology for short-distance, industrial transmission applications.” As well as explaining all about polymer fibre and
OMC’s significant product range, a key feature of the site is that customers can buy polymer fibre online directly from OMC, achieving the most competitive pricing possible.
Customers can also specify the length they want;
rather than having to buy fixed length spools, and they can even pay using PayPal or credit card.

ower Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high- voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced a new reference design for an 8 W, universal-input auxiliary power supply that achieves zero standby power consumption** for appliance applications. Based on a member of Power Integrations’ LinkZero™-LP family of ICs, DER-417 describes a universal-input, 5 V, 1600 mA flyback power supply that consumes less than 4 mW at 230 VAC and provides 1 mW of power in standby mode. Comments Edward Ong, product marketing manager for Power Integrations: “We are moving very close to the ultimate in standby power performance. By leveraging recent advances in low-power sensors and processors driven by the mobile-phone market, 1 mW of standby power is more than enough to operate functions such as a digital clock, environmental monitoring, wireless signal reception and infra-red activation. **IEC 62301 Clause 4.5 describes zero standby as ‘power dissipation below 5 mW’.

Seminars combine latest DAQ knowledge with invaluable hands-on experience
H
BM On Tour 2014 – a series of technical seminars and workshops – is being held at the Williams Conference Centre in Oxfordshire on the 11th and 12th June to help update engineering knowledge on the latest DAQ techniques and equipment as well as giving delegates invaluable hands-on experience.
Each of the seminars contains significant practical elements enabling delegates to undertake a variety of exercises on specially equipped workstations while benefiting from expert advice.
Delegates will also be given a chance to go on a tour of the world’s largest collection of Grand Prix Formula 1 racing cars and there will be many opportunities to network and share ideas with colleagues from different areas of engineering. Delegates will have to choose one of two possible options that are available on each day and places are limited.

Mechline’s innovative on-site food waste bio-digester
he Waste2O bio-digester is a safe and environmentally friendly food waste management system for commercial food service operators.
T Designed and
manufactured by Mechline Developments Ltd in Milton Keynes, the innovative machine processes up to 180 kg of soft, organic food waste and in 24 hours reduces it to waste water that is completely suitable for disposal using normal drains and sewers. To reliably ensure the correct fill level of this automatic and easy to use machine, Mechline use a Measurement Specialities LS403 series horizontal side entry level sensor
- and they insist that supplied by Variohm EuroSensor.
Variohm has represented the global sensor manufacturer Measurement Specialities Group for several years for temperature, pressure as well as level, flow and position sensors. Variohm EuroSensor’s principle of working closely with its suppliers and customers to develop optimum solutions came to the fore with Mechline who required that the Waste2O needed to pass the rigorous safety requirements of TUV and Intertek product testing for European and American standards. Thanks, in part, to the LS403 series level sensor, the machine is the first appliance of its kind to gain both WRc and WRAS approval. Mechline Developments certainly appreciate the support Variohm provided them during the development phase of the machine and now into production. “It’s an important part of Mechline’s Waste2O food waste bio-digester for the machine to ensure the correct fill level at all times. Without it, we would not be able to provide a critical function to the end user that makes our machine an operationally easy piece of equipment. And we firmly believe that when something is easy and reliable, the task gets done,” says Peter Sage-Passant, Mechline’s Managing Director and Head of Product Development.
As an in-vessel bio-digester, the Waste2O was uses a powerful biological formulation to digest soft, organic food waste leaving nothing but waste water that gets sent to drain. The easy, safe and environmentally friendly food waste solution helps businesses to divert food waste from landfill.
