Silicon Carbide Versus Silicon for Electric Vehicles and Electronics Due to the ever-increasing for electric vehicles (EVs), manufacturers are comparing two semiconductor technologies for power electronics applications: silicon carbide and silicon. Image credit: Buffaloboy/Shutterstock.com Silicon carbide (SiC) offers high temperature resistance, reduced power consumption, stiffness, as well as supporting smaller, thinner designs that EV power electronics require. Examples of SiC’s current applications include onboard battery chargers, onboard DC/DC converters, off-board DC fast chargers, automotive lighting for LEDs and EV powertrains. According to Automotive World, future EV innovations could be enhanced by SiC technology as battery and motor manufacturers reach the physical limits of current technologies leading to the necessity to develop more efficient drivetrains. ....
MKS Launches Ophir® MWIR Folded Zoom Lens with Disruptive Range and SWaP Capabilities for Drone and Small Gimbal Applications MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, has announced the Ophir® LightIR 16-180mm MWIR f/3.6 continuous zoom lens, the newest addition to the LightIR family of lightweight, long-range, motorized continuous zoom lenses.
The LightIR 16-180mm f/3.6 is a compact, thermal imaging lens optimized for smaller size 10µm pitch VGA FPA (focal plane array) detectors. It features a folded optics design that significantly reduces the length of the lens and, therefore, the overall size and weight of the optical system in which it is incorporated. The lens is 65% smaller than existing MWIR (medium wave infrared) 10µm VGA lenses. This makes it ideal for the demanding requirements of reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) and small gimbal thermal imaging applications, ....
