Capacitors make assault on rechargeable batteries

Article Abstract:

Oxley Developments is collaborating with the University of Leeds to develop new types of capacitors. The team, led by Dr Andrew Taverner, has successfully developed a high capacity chip multi layer capacitor for electronics, which uses relaxors, a new family of dielectrics. Supercapacitors have also been developed in collaboration with Australia's cap-XX Pty and CSIRO, who have been awarded a $4.4 million grants from the Australian government to develop new devices. Applications for the new technology include load levelling for electric power and mobile telecommunications.

Multiple mouldings offer all functions

Article Abstract:

Three shot moulding technology has improved substantially and now offers a greater combination of materials which are expected to be used in a wide range of complex applications for many consumer electrical products. Materials are combined using ultrasound techniques and providing that the choice of materials is correct the products are expected to have greater strength, feel and will cost less. A one-piece mobile telephone is currently under development.

Coordinated cylinders lower the load

Article Abstract:

Razorback equipped vans ease the task of van delivery drivers. By feeding four hydraulic cylinders of different diameters in alternative pairs, it is possible to evenly lower load tray to ground and then lift it again.
