When we hear rumors of layoffs in the tech industry we can’t help but wonder why this pattern of boom and bust keeps happening. We are religious about controlled growth – because we never want to have to tell valued team members that we have to let them go

The 5 most reassuring words in #manufacturing right now: “In stock and on time.”⌚ We can proudly promise that we will help you select your sensor and electronics solution, calibrate it for you, and have it at your doorstep in 2 days❗ Check out our store to learn more:

MD+DI has a new article about #medtech evolution: "There is a growing need for miniaturization in medical devices and with that comes a need for increasingly smaller sensors" Our Nano force sensor [4x5 mm] is one of the leading examples of micro-miniaturization in the industry.

We’re closing out our #blackhistory month series with the inventor and electrical engineer Otis Boykin, 1920 – 1982. Throughout his career, Boykin earned patents for 26 electronic devices... [1/3]

These range from consumer products like a burglar-proof cash register and a chemical filter to his most famous invention: the wire precision resistor, for which he earned his first patent in 1959. [2/3]

Before common household materials like plastic film and ceramic tiles can leave the factory and go out in the world🌎, their surfaces need to be tested to see how easily they slide against another material. This process is called coefficient of #friction testing.

In this week’s #blackhistorymonth #engineer spotlight we are talking about the mathematician Katherine Johnson, whose contributions led the U.S. to win the space race in 1962. 🚀

Johnson excelled in mathematics and was handpicked to be 1 of the 3 first black students at West Virginia University. She worked as a teacher before working for NACA (now #NASA) where her calculations of orbital mechanics were critical to the success of the first U.S. spaceflight

This little guy is your go-to signal conditioner for testing and auditing multiple applications. The USB520 is super-portable (no external power source🔋 required) and can be swapped with different #sensors as it stores multiple sensor profiles and takes a wide range of inputs.
