The internationalization of flows has brought about more complexity in business management. Supply chains are now managed at a global scale, take outsourcing strategies into account and integrate wide product portfolios.
With more internal or external suppliers, and more products and raw materials coming from different...
The PFE1100-12-054NA is a 1U form factor, 54 mm wide power supply capable of 1100 watts at high line and de-rates in a low line condition.
This is an AC to DC power-factor-corrected (PFC) power supply that converts standard AC mains power into a main output of 12 VDC for powering intermediate bus architectures,...
Ever since the first watermills and windmills were used to generate electricity, energy harvesting has been an attractive source of energy with great potential. In recent years, energy harvesting technology has become more sophisticated and efficient, and energy storage technologies, such as supercapacitors and thin-film...
Trends and transformations in online multimedia distribution, mobile wireless and cloud computing require new approaches to Internet bandwidth optimization.
As Internet technology has evolved, our methods of communication, entertainment, education, healthcare and business have evolved as well, radically transforming...
With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
In the evolution to advanced 3G and 4G services, wireless service providers are taking fiber to the top of the tower. Next-generation, fiber-fed architectures are quickly becoming the new norm for tower builds and retrofits.
These new fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) architectures leverage tower-mounted radios to deliver...
According to ABI Research, the use of wireless local area networking (WLAN) technology in healthcare grew 60% globally in 2009.
Connecting medical devices to a hospital’s Wi-Fi network improves workflow on both the clinical path and the financial path. With networked devices, a hospital delivers better...
This paper describes the different sterilization methods and technologies currently available in today’s medical equipment sterilization market. Each method is reviewed in detail and major differences amongst each are highlighted.
Focus is given to the more common sterilization methods used and/or available...
Racks organize IT equipment, such as servers and network switches, into standardized assemblies that make efficient use of space and other resources. Depending on the options you choose, they can also improve power protection, cooling, cable management, device management, physical security, mobility, ease of installation...
For a computer system to recognize a memory module, the module needs to have a chip on it that communicates the specifications of the module to the system. A system’s basic input/output system (BIOS) may depend on serial presence detect (SPD) data to properly configure and optimize the memory sub system.
...
The latest trend in modern industrial environments is the fast deployment and flexibility of a networking topology. Upgrading firmware and setting the configuration of a large number of devices is a challenging job for both IT and system integrator professionals.
B+B SmartWorx powered by Advantech has introduced the...
The rapidly growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road requires more charging infrastructures to top off energy so that EVs can get back on road quickly. An EV charging station is an important element in the charging infrastructure, which supplies electric energy to the EV and provides a network connection....
In today’s data-driven, technology-dependent world, no organization – large or small – can afford the financial cost, customer frustration and business disruption caused by network downtime.
The good news is there are plenty of options for protecting your network. But with so many different...
Reliability is one of the most important factors that a designer needs to consider when specifying components or subsystems – particularly when the component in question is the power supply on which an entire assembly relies. And yet reliability figures are possibly the most ambiguous on any datasheet – including...
