ROGERS, CT– Rogers Corporation has received UL746C registration from Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) for its RO-LINX laminated busbars. They are used in mass transit, power electronics and alternative energy power distribution systems.

The UL746C registration, a standard to evaluate end product needing UL508C, is the first for a laminated busbar supplier. The company worked with UL to outline “a UL-file by creating a modular, intelligent busbar construction.”

CAMPBELL, CA– Taray Inc. has appointed Joe Gianelli as vice president of marketing and business development for the company’s recently opened US headquarters. Gianelli will assist in the global expansion of Taray’s 7Circuit product to flexible printed circuit board (FPGA) and printed circuit board (PCB) design teams.

He will be responsible for marketing and sales activities, including direct and indirect sales. Bringing over 20 years of experience in marketing and sales, Gianelli has worked for such companies as Synplicity, Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems.

AUSTIN, TX– National Instruments announces further integration of its Multisim and LabVIEW platforms.

The platforms allow engineers to identify and analyze design efficiency. Errors can be detected at an earlier stage of the design process, and circuit design is better enhanced.

Multisim allows circuit schematics to be built interactively, as well as simulates circuit behavior in a graphical environment. The platform abstracts the complexity of SPICE simulation and achieves a faster prototype turnaround, bridging the gap between design and test.

LabVIEW allows engineers to increase their productivity in circuit design in a cost-efficient and timely manner. The platform provides rapid connectivity simulation and real-world measurements.
