EXPLORE THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY AT MICRO NANO MEMS 2017 EXHIBITION AT THE NEC M
icro Nano MEMS returns for its ninth year on 26 and 27
September 2017 in Hall 1 at the NEC Birmingham as part of the annual Sensors & Instrumentation show. Attendees will benefit from access to a dedicated seminar theatre, an exclusive exhibitor line-up and brand new feature areas. The Micro Nano MEMS seminar
theatre will incorporate a programme of talks on topics at the forefront of the industry. Professor
Yi Qin of the University of Strathclyde will present ‘Manufacture of micro/miniature components by FAST sintering and microforming’. Yi comments: “A new manufacturing process and facility for the fabrication of miniature/ micro-components directly from powders will be presented. The manufacturing practicians and researchers, not limited to micro and nano-manufacturing, should attend to gain useful information on
such an alternative technique.” David Tolfree, vice president of
MANCEF will present ‘The Future Role of Micro-Nanotechnologies in Industry 4.0’. Tolfree says: “The Micro Nano Mems seminar programme will provide reviews of developments in emergent technologies that have enabled the production of new products which will be drivers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, known as Industry 4.0.

CLOUD ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICE FOR TEST INSTRUMENTS
The company’s LEO 2 solution has been developed to provide an accurate inventory of assets held by a company, managing the acquisition of further assets, the maintenance of the asset base, and the identification and disposal of surplus equipment. LEO 2 enables the creation of an
A new cloud-based Asset Management solution has been released by test equipment sourcing specialist Microlease, which can be used to manage any moveable or fixed asset, including test instruments.
accurate inventory of all assets held, tracking configurations and reducing turn-around times. It provides complete visibility for the maintenance of the asset base including spares, and communicates this information through the use of a secure shared logistics framework
offering innovative KPI dashboards and standard reports. This solution is a combination of specialist software. Modules capture data relating to asset detail and configuration, asset movements, tracking and logistics, calibration and repair management, real time management dashboards, and utilisation management. It features a completely new and intuitive interface that allows users to search for parts, assets and locations quickly and easily – drilling down to the exact building and the rack where an asset is being held.

Renesas Electronics and Codeplay Software, are working together to deliver ComputeAorta, Codeplay’s OpenCL open standard-based software framework for Renesas R- Car system-on-chips (SoCs). The framework will be available first on R- Car H3 as a proof of concept, then focusing on R-Car V3M and other R- Car SoCs of the Renesas autonomy Platform for advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) and automated driving. The new framework is designed to support software development for the R-Car’s latest image recognition IP, the IMP- X5, a multi-threading core optimised for computer vision and cognitive processing

Three miniature TVS diode families have been released by Nexperia. These devices fit applications in portable devices, including USB – Power Delivery (USB-PD) protection. All the new parts feature high surge ratings and high peak pulse power. Taking up just 1 x 0.6mm (DFN1006- 2/SOD882 package) of PCB space and with a height of 0.5mm, the new PTVS4V5D1BL TVS diode delivers very good clamping characteristics and a typical surge robustness of 38.3A (8/20 µA pulse), which is industry benchmark for a device of this size and specification. Applications include battery line and audio port protection.
includes 10 new types within a reverse standoff voltage range from 5V to 26V (VRWM). These tiny devices measure just 1.6 x 0.8mm and are 0.29mm high (DSN1608-2 / SOD964 package). This is a significant reduction of package height compared to devices currently available in this performance class which are usually 0.5mm high. These new parts handle surge ratings up to 100A (8/20 µA pulse). They also have an ultra-low dynamic resistance of 0.06Ω. Devices provide surge protection in charger ports, battery connectors and hard disks/SSDs. Three new 20V, 22V and 24V parts
complete Nexperia’s PTVSxU1UPA TVS family which now comprises nine diodes covering 7.5V to 26V. Devices come in the DFN2020-3 (SOT1061) package which has a footprint of 2 x 2mm and a profile of just 0.62mm. Surge rating is up to a maximum of 178A for a 8/20µA pulse; peak pulse power is up to 300W for 10/1000µs pulse and leakage current is down to 1nA.
