The Model 2450 SourceMeter SMU Instrument combines the intuitive touchscreen and icon-based control that novice SMU users can appreciate. The Model 2450’s design, Keithley’s latest generation of SMU instruments, offers a fundamentally new way for users to interact with test and measurement instruments. It is based on the company’s innovative “Touch, Test, Invent” design philosophy. This new design philosophy reflects recent market changes, including shrinking product design/development cycles and fewer personnel devoted exclusively to test engineering tasks. At the same time, the profile of the typical instrument user has also evolved. In addition to electrical engineers, it now includes a growing number of non-engineers (such as electrochemists, physicists, materials scientists, etc.) who need fast access to data but sometimes have limited training in electrical measurement. Additionally, as the previous generation of electrical engineers has retired, their younger replacements have tended to be more software oriented than hardware oriented. To accommodate all of these market and user changes, the Model 2450 incorporates numerous ease-of-use features that ensure a faster “time-to-answer” than competitive solutions, including a context-sensitive help function, “Quickset” modes that speed instrument configuration, and on-screen graphing capabilities that quickly turn raw data into usable results.

Australia continues to be on the cutting edge of the development of defence science and technology needed to address the global threat posed by improvised explosive devices. Micreo was one of a number of industry partners to collaborate with the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, the Defence Science and Technology Group and Defence’s Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Task Force to produce this potentially lifesaving equipment. Under Defence’s REDWING program, Australia has developed low cost, robust and lightweight force protection systems. The equipment has particular application for use in austere operating environments by military and police units as it requires minimal operator training and limited logistic support. Two systems have been produced, namely GREENGUM (to equip dismounted forces) and GREYGUM (for fitting to light vehicles). Through this project, the Australian Government will invest up to $50 million in the Australian defence manufacturing industry, demonstrating Defence’s ability to transfer domestically developed counter improvised explosive device technology into jobs for Australians. This project is an example of Australian industry and Defence collaboration, entrepreneurship and innovation to a deliver unique solution that is able to help address a persistent threat in almost every conflict zone. With defence industry partners supporting an accelerated production schedule, delivery of this vital equipment to Afghanistan commenced in January. The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces are now deploying this equipment in the current fighting season, their first without significant coalition support. Micreo Limited is an Australian-based independent company founded in 2002 which currently employs 70 people. In the REDWING program, Micreo has applied its technical and management skills to deliver significant quantities of both the GREENGUM and GREYGUM units in a four month period, providing temporary jobs and experience for an additional 40 trainees whilst meeting the quality and delivery targets. The core business of the company is the design and manufacture of RF and photonic products for Radar and Electronic Warfare avionic systems.

Whether thermal conductivity is required, environmental protection, extremely wide operating temperatures or intrinsically safe applications, encapsulating resins are widely used in Electronics manufacturing globally. Most encapsulating resins are generally two-part liquid form and require accurate mixed ratios to ensure optimum properties are achieved. This brings us to the discussion of hand mixing encapsulating resins and the ability to completely automate the dispending process by using automated two-part liquid dispensing machines. Manual handling of encapsulating resins can become messy, resin waste levels can be high, inaccurate, and inconsistent and heavily rely on the competency of the manual handler when measuring mixed ratios and mixing correctly. Furthermore, OH&S polices need to be strict and guidelines outlined for manual handling to allow employees to handle these products in a safe and responsible manner. This brings us to the Graco two-part liquid dispensing machine, offered by Graco Limited and distributed in Australia by HK Wentworth and the Electrolube division.
