New 3.3V 20x4 display with DOUBLE HEIGHT characters


graphic displays. The latest addition to the 1x8, 2x16 and 3x16 DOG family is the new 4x20 (line x char) EA DOGM204-A high-contrast easy-to-read STN and FSTN display. With double height character option display functions in 2x20 or 3x20 mode. Supply voltage +3.3V without need for a negative voltage. Current only 250µA (Backlight off).


M The integrated


SSD1803 offers 4bit, 8 bit, 4-wire SPI or 2-wire I²C interface. Bottom or top view direction. Selection of 3 different fonts: Cyrillic,


English-Japanese and


European. Display and backlights can be ordered separately to create 12 combinations. 3 different backlights: white, amber and a dual green/red. The dual colour backlight is ideal for applications where a green (normal) or red (warning) status indication is required. Without a backlight the displays are only 2mm thick and 5.8 mm including the LED backlight. View area 63x26mm.

MS Electronics Ltd has available an exceptionally versatile line of alphanumeric and


manual, pneumatic, and cordless guns for dispensing two-component adhesives. The guns make dispensing even the thickest materials easier and less cumbersome. A 26:1 thrust ratio enables a lighter touch to dispense more material with each trigger pull. The dispensing guns are ergonomic, lightweight, and easy to load with a unique secured snap feature. They dispense two-component materials for applications such as injection into cracks, concrete anchoring, fixturing, windshield installation / replacement, and bumper repair in markets such as construction, automotive aftermarket, and aerospace. These new dispense guns have a longer tool life. In general, as tools get old, they can wear out and replacements must be ordered. Nordson EFD’s manual line of dispense guns have an adjustment screw that enables the drive system to be tightened, extending the tool’s life and eliminating wasted motion. The pneumatic guns, which are activated by air pressure, are rated up to 120 psi operating pressure. The handle on top of the air cylinder enables easy, user-friendly maneuvering of the gun. A button just above the trigger lets the user toggle between forward and backward piston rod travel with a quick finger movement. The cordless guns come with a reliable Milwaukee 18 volt lithium ion battery.

range and extremely low noise operation for applications with low light levels and where wide concentration ranges are measured. The QE Pro‘s optical design maximizes performance for a range of application needs.


QE Pro Spectrometer T


With its 18-bit A/D, QE Pro has dynamic range performance that makes it the highest sensitivity miniature spectrometer available today. This is significant for users monitoring emission spectroscopy, especially fluorescence and Raman, where signals may be weak and minimum detectable sample limits are often challenging. In addition, for both absorption and reflectance in quality control applications, QE Pro provides lower limits of detection and enables measurements over a wider concentration range. For kinetics researchers and scientists requiring fast, full spectrum acquisitions, the QE Pro provides onboard buffering capability. The 15,000 spectra onboard buffer maintains data integrity by buffering time-stamped spectra for USB communications. Buffering enables full-spectrum kinetics measurements, such as those used in chemical and enzyme kinetics or protein folding to be performed every 8 milliseconds - or 125 measurements per second.

by TÜV Rheinland according to IEC 61508:2010 (Ed.2). It is also now the first Guided Wave Radar level sensor to also be independently assessed by engineers from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd, as part of the EMPHASIS project to satisfy requirements on EDF as a Licensee under the auspices of the Office of Nuclear Regulation (ONR). It is now deemed acceptable for this sensor to be deployed in suitable SIL2 applications for the UK Nuclear industry. The Control & Instrumentation Nuclear Industry Forum (CINIF) developed the EMPHASIS program after extensive research. Although it originally began as a set of written guidelines, the EMPHASIS program soon evolved into a software tool that can be used for assessment of SMART instruments suitability for the nuclear industry.

Extensive validation has been applied to EMPHASIS, and has been adopted by the


Nuclear Industry Smart Instruments Working Group (NISIWG) which comprises of the major players in the UK nuclear sector. As VEGAFLEX GWR level transmitters are SMART instruments, it is imperative that the verification of these products meet EMPHASIS nuclear requirements.
