PRODUCT SHOWCASE Labjack T4 USB or Ethernet DAQ Labjack have just released their new low cost USB or Ethernet T4 DAQ device for data logging, data acquisition, measurement and control applications. The Labjack T4 comes with up to 12 analog inputs or 16 digital I/Os. There are four dedicated high voltage analog inputs (±10V, 12-bit resolution) as well as up to eight configurable low voltage analog inputs (0-2.5V, 12-bit resolution). It also has two analog outputs (10bit) and multiple digital counters/ timers. Labjack’s Kipling software is available for basic configuration and testing. The LabJack T4 also comes with free DaqFactory Express Windows software that allows you to be quickly up and logging and graphing data. Free code examples are available in C/C++, C#, Delphi, Java, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, VB.NET and more. The T4 is also capable of stand-alone operation by running Lua scripts and supports Modbus TCP protocol for industrial applications Contact: Ocean Controls PO Box 2191, Seaford BC, VIC 3198 Tel: (03) 9782 5882 Website: www.oceancontrols.com.au Shatter-proof mobile phone screens a step closer with ANU research “Everyone knows how frustrating it is when you drop your mobile device and get a large crack in the screen,” said Dr Le Losq from the ANU Research School of Earth Sciences. New research at the ANU could lead to shatter-proof glass for mobile phone screens. The researchers worked on a type of glass called alumino-silicate.They built on the long-standing collaborations from laboratories around the world. Dr Le Losq said that the research, based on experiments and computer modelling, could be used to alter the structure of glass to improve resistance to fractures.

The optically clear polyurethane resin, UR5641 is believed to be a market-first solution. The two-part, semi-rigid resin cures to provide a flexible, protective and aesthetically pleasing covering over the luminaire elements and the aliphatic chemical nature of the cured resin is naturally resistant to the yellowing effects of UV light. This makes it useful for a range of outdoor as well as indoor applications. UR5641 is also scratch resistant and offers high resistance to weather, acids and alkalis, water and mould growth. UR5641 has a wide operating temperature of -40 to +120 °C and thermal conductivity of 0.20 W/m.K. Importantly, UR5641 is flameretardant and UL94 V-0 approved, making it eminently suitable for the protection of LED luminaires exposed to hazardous atmospheres, such as emergency lighting, or lighting intended for installation in ATEX rated/zoned environments.
