ATS Releases Heat Sinks for DC-DC Converters
Norwood, MA — Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) has released its new maxiFLOW™ family of high-per- formance heat sinks designed to cool DC-DC power converters and power modules. The power brick heat sinks are available for full, half, quarter, and one-eighth brick sizes. With proper thermal
man agement, brick DC-DC converters can be used at their maximum operating temperature for the best per- formance on a PCB. According to the compa-
ny, its new family of heat sinks reduces junction tem- peratures by more than 20 percent. The patented spread- fin heat sink design allows for cooling performance in low- airflow environments. The spread-fin pattern
reduces pressure drop on passing air and provides more sur- face area for heat dissipation and convection cooling. The ATS brick DC-DC heat
sinks are provided with Philips head screw sets in 5, 6 and 8 mm (0.2, 0.24
and 0.31 in.) lengths. The company ships them pre-assembled with a high-performance thermal interface material.

for narrow reels, but the dividers used to keep prod- ucts separated can be moved easily to create wider bays. Spools and reels are support- ed by their rims, which aids in loading and unloading, and the dividers prevent them from tangling. Constructed of both 28 and 42
mm (1.1 and 1.65 in.) diameter pipe, the critical long spans of the cart use the larger size, while the smaller pipe is used for the rest of the frame. The cart comes with four 6 in. (152 mm) casters — two that swivel and two that are fixed. The company offers a wide vari- ety of pipe and color options. In addi-
tion, carts can include a hitch for tow- ing, and a tie-bar connects the front of the cart to the latch at the back, which

Cognex Enters Mobile Terminal Market
Natick, MA — Cognex Corporation, a supplier of machine vision systems and industrial barcode readers, has developed a new line of ruggedized mobile terminals. The MX-1000 series offers manufacturers, logistics companies, and many other organizations that currently rely on expen- sive and purpose-built terminals, a new method of performing such tasks as inventory manage- ment, logistics and field service. The MX-1000 com-
bines the ease-of-use, low- cost and flexibility of off- the-shelf smart phones with a rugged, handheld assembly that holds both the phone and a specially designed barcode reader. According to the com- pany, the barcode reader outperforms many laser-based and camera-based systems. The initial versions of the
mobile terminal will offer the capa- bility of reading both 1D and 2D bar- codes, but the hardware in each unit is a complete vision engine that does more than simply read barcodes. The
company plans to add other vision- based capabilities, such as OCR,
