Spellman High Voltage Electronics Introduces New Power Distribution Unit

Spellman High Voltage Electronics recently introduced its Power Distribution unit (PDU).

Spellman High Voltage Electronics recently introduced its Power Distribution unit (PDU). The PDU’s capabilities provide custom power distribution units, which deliver AC and DC power for high performance CT scanning, X-ray imaging and critical industrial applications. Spellman’s power conversion expertise can provide custom DC supplies up to 100 kilowatts in output power.

Spellman’s PDUs can proactively eliminate the trouble and expense of downtime due to power quality issue. The PDU provides the clean AC and DC power that today’s applications demand, in one integrated cost savings assembly. Sophisticated comprehensive digital remote powering monitoring capability can monitor, diagnose, and fix power quality issues.

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
