Nordic Semiconductor Global Tech Tour to Help Embedded Systems Developers Build Connectable Wireless Bluetooth Smart and ANT 'Appcessories' in a Day

Ultra low power (ULP) RF specialist Nordic Semiconductor ASA (OSE: NOD) today announces that with the launch of its ground-breaking nRF51 Series of System-on-Chips (SoCs) it will embark on a Global Tech Tour in which a team of the company's top wireless application technical experts will travel around the world to teach embedded systems developers in just one day how to develop their first/next generation Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ ULP wireless smartphone application accessory or 'appcessory' for short.

Each seminar is designed to be intensive, fun, and fully hands-on, and will include a detailed technical walk-through starting from a ULP wireless sensor within an appcessory through how it wirelessly connects to a smartphone and ending with how this all interfaces to a developer's app running on the smartphone's operating system. The agenda will include an overview of ULP wireless, Nordic's latest nRF51 Series SoCs, Bluetooth low energy (including Bluetooth Smart) qualification, and a full afternoon of software development application examples taken from Nordic's brand new nRF51 SDK (Software Development Kit) which each participant will be able to take home free-of-charge.

"Each of these Global Tech Tour seminars is designed to be far more than a set of presentations given in PowerPoint format," explains John Leonard, Tactical Marketing Manager at Nordic Semiconductor. "They will be a genuine and unique opportunity for smartphone app developers to kickstart their next Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ application accessory within a single day with the help of some of the world's most experienced and knowledgeable ULP wireless application engineers and system software architects. In fact I would not be surprised if a sizeable number of participants went away with the knowledge they need to start building their first or next generation smartphone appcessory immediately."

The Global Tech Tour will start in the U.S. on September 17 starting at Minneapolis and then travelling to San Jose in California (Sep 19), Orange County in Irvine (Sep 21), and ending in Boston on September 24. This will be followed by an 8-location tour in Asia Pacific starting in India (Bangalore) on October 3 and then travelling to Singapore (Oct 5), Taiwan (Oct 8), and then onto China – Shenzhen (Oct 10), Shanghai (Oct 12), and Beijing (Oct 15) – followed by South Korea (Seoul) on October 17 and ending in Japan (Tokyo) on October 19. A final European leg of the tour will then begin in Amsterdam in the Netherlands on October 22, moving to Paris, France (Oct 24), Munich, Germany (Oct 26), and ending in Copenhagen, Denmark (Oct 29).

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
