Weld-Compatible Prox Sensors

The Weld Select family of proximity sensors consists of Weld Field Immune sensors, SteelFace sensors, and related products designed to protect sensor connector components from damage in welding cells. Weld-Field-immune sensors are specifically designed to operate within electromagnetic fields generated in weld cells without false tripping. A one-piece, gun-drilled stainless-steel housing lets SteelFace sensors take multiple hits and still function properly. SlagMaster-coated sensors have a proprietary coating that allows the sensor to resist weld slag buildup, high heat, and mechanical damage. Weld Repel silicone jackets and wrap shed slag and protect cabling from ambient heat up to 500°C.

Friction Pendulum Sliders
At Colorado State University, Prof. John van de Lindt has applied a base isolation system to a light-frame wood building for shake-table testing. The test structure is supported on a base isolation system consisting of four sliding bearings. The bearings are friction pendulum system (FPS) bearings that isolate the building from the earthquake ground motion by allowing the building to “slide” laterally...

Earthquake Shake Table
At Colorado State University, civil engineering professor Dr. John van de Lindt conducted a series of earthquake shake table tests of a half-scale two-story residential building with an integrated one car garage as part of a National Science Foundation funded NEESWood project task related to seismic protection systems. The overall goal of that task is to enable applications of protective systems...

LG90 HGTV 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The LG90 provides for the ultra-high 1,000,000:1 high contrast and LEDs that provide whiter whites and richer blacks with the added benefit of increased energy efficiency. LED backlighting also results in more natural color representation and faster response time for smoother, more natural picture motion. LG's Intelligent Sensor provides automatic image quality optimization of brightness and...

Crestron TPS-6X Touchpanel
Designed for speed, style and extreme versatility, the TPS-6X is a 6-inch touchpanel that streamlines the Crestron family of panels, combining the features and functionality previously found in nine other models. The Crestron TPS-6X redefines touchpanel design, providing both a sleek tabletop form factor while also offering total portability. While docked, the TPS-6X is a wired Cresnet or Ethernet...

The NEESWood Project
The Network for Earthquake Engineering and Simulation in mid-rise wood frame construction (NEESWood) consists of a group of 15 shared use equipment sites to study seismic activity and building methods. Funded by the National Science Foundation, NEESWood’s goal is to safely increase the height of wood frame construction buildings to six stories while effectively incorporating technology that minimizes...
