Renewable energy is produced from the winds out at sea by offshore wind farms. The saltiness in the air causes the wind turbines to rust. For these farms to be profitable, the turbines need to remain in action for 25 years at least, which would not possible without regular maintenance. A team of researchers from Fraunhofer have created a protective film, which will enhance the repair method. They are also looking to formulate an essential inspection criteria.
A team of researchers from Northwestern University have created a new biodegradable material integrated with vitamin A, which has the ability to prevent scarring in blood vessels.
Lloyd Instruments, a market leader in the field of materials testing instruments, has developed a fixture specifically to test the peel strength of heat sealed plastic film covers on food containers.
Researchers from The Netherlands, Australia, and Russia have developed a new technology that helps to reduce scanning time by more than 50% in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). With this new technology hospitals can increase the number of scans, without having to change equipment.
The new Kistler KiTorq torque measuring flange is now available in eight ranges from 50Nm to 5000Nm and with speed and angular measurement capability. The open stator design allows easier installation whilst minimising the risk of damage and easier visual inspection during testing.
Mecmesin has launched the first of a new generation of universal testers, with a focus on precision control.
In evaluating a medication, ease of use is nearly as an important a factor as its effectiveness. Along with determining the correct dosage, medication developers need to determine whether or not its packaging will break or leak under normal usage and if too much finger strength is required by either the patient or care giver in administering it.
Developed specifically for the automotive manufacturing industry, materials testing specialist, Lloyd Instruments, has developed a sample grip to test the solder strength of terminal welds on power steering pump motors.
A new type of super-hydrophobic coating has been developed. The hydrocarbon-based coating, which is cheap to produce and environmentally friendly, could replace fluorocarbons which are currently used as a water repellant.
Test system for seat belts and webbing offers speed, efficiency and precision
