ON Semiconductor has expanded its NGBTxx family of 1200 volt trench field stop insulated gate bipolar (IGBT) devices with nine new energy efficient solutions. These new devices improve overall system efficiency, lower power dissipation and improve system reliability. The devices are suitable for motor control, solar and uninterruptable power supply applications.

The Newage MT91 automatic microhardness transverse testing system offers unrivalled testing speed – as fast as 6 seconds per test cycle – and a precise Rockwell type testing method that requires no manual interpretation of the impression. The newly released MT91 modular system is a cost-effective solution for applications that require advanced microhardness functionality such as case depth transverses.

Schurter has announced its new 5123 series filtered inlets featuring enhanced filter performance to the already successful standard 5120 series. The new 5132 series filter combines an IEC power inlet and a line filter, designed for nominal currents up to 15A. The higher attenuation meets the continually increasing demands for interference suppression of IT, medical, test and measurement and industrial equipment.

EMC Partner has announced their TRA3000 Immunity Tester now offers the ability to test to 5kV EFT pulses as new product standards have added this requirement. The enhanced EFT module with the same physical footprint fits directly into the existing TRA3000 mainframes allowing users to extend test capabilities with on-site upgrades to 5kV EFT pulses.

SolaHD has announced their next generation SHP Series of heavy-duty power supplies featuring an enhanced modular design that allows customers to configure up to 24 output voltage combinations ranging from 2Vdc to 60Vdc.

The "Energy Harvesting Solution to go"-kit provides easy access to energy harvesting technologies which help developers to apply them in future battery less products.

Aeroflex Ltd. announced added support for the 4x2 multi-input multi-output (MIMO) to the 7100 digital radio test set for the R&D testing of LTE user equipment being designed with this feature.

Fox Electronics has announced their enhanced line of XpressO low jitter configurable oscillators with the new TXCO version, XpressO-TC.

Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Micron Foundation to assist the University's new bachelor of science in engineering program. The grant will support the engineering program's pursuit of accreditation upon its first graduating class in 2014.
