Technical Electronic Workstations are ergonomically designed. Have flexible standard components and accessory options above and below the work surface. Can be custom configured for height and length, as well as leg and pedestal supports, including Tech Leg, Tech Panel Leg, mobile bases, and cabinet pedestals. Many configurations feature a built-in electrical power supply on either an instrument riser or as part of the Nexus accessory system. Can choose from static-safe components, including ESD paint, work surfaces and shelves, conductive plastic boxes, and grounding accessories. Modular drawer storage cabinets can serve as pedestals.

Flowmaster simulation software for thermo-fluid systems contains features for pre-processing, simulation, data management, and design collaboration. Experiments capability harnesses the power of simulation within an exploratory methodology; can create response surfaces and export meta-model data as either ANSI C code or as S-Functions for use in a real-time environment, providing support for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Using a Latin Square algorithm, it can generate combinations of distributed input values between specific bounds. Monte Carlo simulations can be performed to produce simulation results based on a probability distribution generated from a mean and standard deviation for selected input parameters. Can implement a native 1D-3D solution. Includes improved thermal bridge for heat transfer analysis, which automatically recognizes the transition between different flow regimes; advanced heat exchangers used to predict pressure drop and heat duty for single phase, cross-flow, compact heat exchangers, and traceable data management.

Pantheon PCB layout software 7.0_02C includes RF and hybrid design flows. Includes a 3D viewer; displays stack-up and dielectric layer heights, as defined by the user, with object selection and reporting. Has updated via handling; vias and via arrays can be added to board, block, or component geometries; provides automatic via stitching along a manually drawn line or on the interior or exterior of selected objects. Wire shielding and ground shielding are no longer manual procedures.

Sarcon SPG-20A low-viscosity thermally conductive silicone compound is said to be an easy to dispense. Applied between a heat-generating component and nearby heat sink or spreader, fills all unwanted gaps up to 3.0 mm in height. The form stable thermal compound requires no heat curing, will not cause corrosion on metal surfaces, and maintains all initial properties across a wide temperature range (-40 to + 150C). Provides thermal conductivity of 2.0W/m°K with a thermal resistance of 2.1°C cm2/W. Permits vibration absorption.
