Introduction Let's discuss how LEDs are being used in new ways and innovative applications. Designers are adapting to new spaces, fitting indication and illumination into new form factors, enabling devices to communicate more information using proven light pipe technologies, and problem-solving product solutions. You're likely familiar with LEDs, but some may not be as … [Read more...]
Designing with MLPS Part 2
Let's Dive Into the Why of MLPS To save assembly time, our modular light pipe system comes preassembled in rail and tower system (RT), and Rail, Tower, Bezel (RTB) formats. RT provides an easier way of coupling LEDs mounted in the PC board with light pipes for efficient light transmission. RTB includes a vessel that mounts on the back of the panel, helps with light pipe … [Read more...]
Designing with MLPS Part 1
Introduction Modular light pipe systems, specifically Bivar's new MLPS, communicate more data these days, it is very difficult if you do not have a few LEDs on the panel. For example, in a control system environment, like in AI, such as echo devices and other similar devices. Also in robotics, there's a lot of indication available, which does let you see the status on the … [Read more...]
Development of a 3D Printed Loop Heat Pipe
ABSTRACT The small form-factor satellites, CubeSats and SmallSats, have increased in popularity and capability, but advanced thermal solutions are required to keep up with the increasing heat loads. Loop heat pipes (LHPs) are a passive solution capable of transporting heat from electronics to deployable radiator panels. However, due to their complicated structure, LHPs require … [Read more...]
Thermocouples Basics Part 2: How They Are Made and Its Measurement System
Continuing from part 1, and the advantages of thermocouples, we will now visit the process to make a thermocouple and its measurement system. The way thermocouples are made is very simple. We have a thermocouple welder, shown in Figure 1, as a small machine. The ends of the two wires are twisted to digital wires together, and then each set of wires touches to the point where … [Read more...]
