Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:26:12 +0000

Compliance to international standards is vital for any Australian manufacturers looking to take their products to a global market. This guide will take you step by step through the requirements and helps simplify the compliance process.

Embedded hardware and OS technology empower PC-based platforms

Mon, 26 May 2008 22:46:25 +0000

Embedded computing devices have changed the world of industrial automation. Users need to be careful when selecting a device that the company they are buying from can support their development platform, regardless of the form factor the user selects for each individual device. This tech paper will assist in this process.

All electrical products imported or manufactured in Australia or New Zealand must be safe before supplying or being made available for sale. Ensure your products comply by downloading this Tech Paper now.

Active Ethernet I/O: a new generation in IP-based data acqusitions and control

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 01:13:35 +0000

Network hosts typically have to poll the I/O server repeatedly to obtain remote sensor data over an ethernet network. Active ethernet is a new approach to IP-based data acquisition and control that can be dramatically faster, more flexible, easier to configure and easier to program for – as outlined in this technical paper.

10 Steps to Leaner Electrical Controls

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:50 +0000

Globalisation is forcing companies to constantly become more effcient. To drive efficiencies, many companies are implementing Lean Manufacturing to stay competitive in this ever shrinking world.
This paper discusses how you can leverage Lean Operations, A Lean Supply Chain, and Lean Design of your electrical panels to meet the key goals from James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones book "Lean Thinking":

Connection technology for binary sensors – a training manual

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:51 +0000

This manual offers basic information on (binary) proximity switches. Important terms and connections are explained, the state of the art is described and technical data is presented on the practical uses of same. A handy glossary of technical terms is included at the end of the manual.

Using baseline monitoring techniques to access filter run performance and predict filter breakthrough

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:49 +0000

This paper will assist Water Treatment Plant operators better determine if a filter run is approaching a breakthrough condition. Current techniques look for upward trends in either turbidity or particle counts of the filter effluent, but this does not consistently predict actual filter breakthrough. Download this paper to find how different particle detection technologies can be better utlilised to define filter performance.

Bringing low-cost coverage, capacity & symmetry to Mobile Wi-max

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:57 +0000

Mobile network user requirements continue to expand with the rapid emergence of mobile Internet devices and Web 2.0 applications. The proliferation of these devices and applications are fundamentally reshaping the requirements for mobile broadband wireless infrastructures. This paper discusses how small meshed picocells can help your network offer more uniform coverage, increased capacity and symmetrical client links so that users can experience at least 1 Mbps uplink and downlink service wherever they require it and regardless of usage intensity.

Monitoring and managing VoIP networks

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:53 +0000

The most critical challenge in running a Voice over IP (VoIP) network is assuring that customers receive the same Quality of Service (QOS) they expect from a circuit switched network. If a service provider cannot overcome this challenge, it risks losing customers, and makes attracting new ones more difficult. This paper discusses how to tackle this problem.

Selecting an optimum starch for snack development

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:58 +0000

The potential physiological benefits of resistant starch, along with its functional properties, provide a means to increase total dietary fibre in the diet through popular foods. In applications studies described in this paper, resistant starch increased the TDF content of various foods from 3% to 8%, while enhancing textural and sensory characteristics. By formulating foods with resistant starch, product developers and nutritionists can encourage consumers to increase their fibre intake with a variety of palatable, high quality foods that are healthy as well.

Baseline correction in spectrophotometric measurements

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:52 +0000

In this technical paper, we discuss the reasons why baseline correction is needed in UV-Vis spectrophotometric measurements and some basic guidelines for doing baseline correction and sample measurements. While considering the question of baseline corrections and how to use them, we also examine briefly the basic components in a spectrophotometer and how they operate.

Clean fuels require real-time chemical analysis

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:49:52 +0000

Global demand for fossil fuels continues to rise despite the regulatory pressures to reduce emissions generated by burning such fuels. With economically viable and commercially available alternative clean fuel sources still somewhere in our future, the only alternative currently available is to clean fossil fuels. Reliable, accurate, and robust real-time chemical analysis is an integral component of clean fuel production.
