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

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.

Celebrating 30 Years
Electrolube’s new
optically clear, flame
retardant resin
Electrolube has launched a new
encapsulation resin to meet the increasing demands from LED manufacturers for an optically clear, flame
retardant resin.
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.
