CAM350 v. 9.5 for PCB verification and optimization adds a variety of features including AutoImport templates; PADS layout import interface updates; license borrowing, and Vista support. ODB++ Import supports the CAD Netlist as a reference in CAM350. The One-Up and Panel Border To Layers commands convert to graphics. Netlist Extract algorithm updates are said to support faster performance for large files. DXF Export Interface updated to support intuitive selection of layers to export. AutoImport command supports saving default NC Data format specifications. More than 35 software corrections have been made.

DV509-UV-LF is a diaphragm action valve designed for UV resins. The wetted chamber is compatible for low to medium viscosity UV materials. Is high cycling, rated at 200 cycles/min. Has lightweight, compact design; suitable for automated systems. Diaphragm seal is attached to a solenoid that opens when receiving an air signal from a valve controller. It flexes to permit fluid to exit for the duration that the seal is opened. A return spring snaps the diaphragm shut after the air signal is removed.
