The study of seismic isolation systems has markedly advanced in recent decades, offering innovative pathways to shield structures and sensitive equipment from earthquake-induced forces. At its core, ...

3D non-contact surface analysis is used extensively across the industry to measure surface irregularities and small displacements – it provides accurate, traceable and repeatable measurements. When ...

A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...

The just-released model CT-2 completely-passive tabletop vibration isolation platform, from Minus K Technology, with no air or electric power required, represents the latest state-of-the-art option ...

This technical paper titled “Jenny: Securing Syscalls for PKU-based Memory Isolation Systems” was presented by researchers at Graz University of Technology (Austria) at the USENIX Security Symposium ...

Maintaining isolation between high- and low-voltage EV systems is vital for safety and proper equipment operation. Attention must be paid to many systems and devices to ensure isolation is built in ...

Pacific Biosciences has produced its next generation of long-read, automated genomic sequencers with Single-Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT*) sequencing technology. The Sequel™ system is part of the company ...
