Co-authored by Ed Miller , president, and senior consultant John MacKrell, the paper explores the benefits of employing visualization and collaboration solutions across the extended enterprise using several real-life case scenarios. It also illustrates how AutoVue's visualization and collaboration facilitate global product development by providing enterprises in all industries with the ability to view, print, mark-up and collaborate on all data types throughout their product definition processes.
"The AutoVue family of visualization and collaboration products from Cimmetry Systems is a very powerful set of solutions," said MacKrell. "It delivers a mix of capabilities that enables it to support review, analysis, approval and verification activities on all kinds of product definition information throughout the extended enterprise of companies, their suppliers, partners and customers. Cimmetry has a track record of being attentive to customer needs and over the years has developed a line of robust visualization and collaboration applications to address the needs of product development and manufacturing organizations in industry segments as diverse as discrete manufacturing, high tech, AEC and process plant design."
AutoVue provides native viewing, printing, markup, digital mockup and real-time collaboration support for more than 450 engineering drawings, 2-D CAD, 3-D CAD parts and assemblies, PCB layouts and schematics and office documents without requiring the authoring applications. It integrates with several Document Management, PLM, Product Data Management, ERP, Workflow, ASPs and e-business Portals, either directly or via the Web.

Model 2600-035 Tip-Seal valve for precision dispensing of medium- to high-viscosity adhesive and sealant materials opens and closes the material passage at the tip of the nozzle to precisely start and stop material flow, and prevent oozing and dripping. Combined with positive-displacement meters delivers precise shot volumes and exact bead profiles.
Use with materials that air dry or cure, such as silicones or polyurethanes. Sealing at the valve's tip prevents material from hardening in the nozzle. Can be used in high-speed stitching or repetitive on-off applications where short segments of material are deposited onto a surface.Material is delivered to the valve by a metering assembly or under regulated pressure from supply tanks or pumps. The dispense rate can be altered during the dispense process to provide a variety of bead-profile sizes and material-flow rates.

Adjustable Flex Feeder 32-136 extends handlse component tapes up to 136 mm wide. Can also handle very deep and long tape pockets.
No tools are required to adjust the width. To adjust the length of the tape pocket opening, simply move the pitch bar backwards or forwards.
Standard configuration allows for up to 10-mm deep tape pockets, but can easily be modified to handle up to 22-mm deep tape.
Delivered with two sets of shafts -- long or short -- so that other feeders can be fitted to the magazine at the same time.

Teradyne Inc. Connection Systems Division (TCS) has launched the Aptera connector platform, a low-profile solution for server, storage and networking applications.
The low-profile design addresses packaging challenges by balancing high-speed interconnect with the need to conserve board space and maximize airflow. The connector's 10 mm (.39") slot pitch offers flexibility for applications that need high-performance connectors in tight spaces. Electrical test results reportedly demonstrate excellent transmission characteristics and cross talk under 2% at a 50 pico sec. rise time (20-80%). Combined with a matched impedance interface and zero skew, is scalable for future system design requirements.
Designers can choose appropriate connection types and the amount of signals. Features a straddle mount design with solder leads for the daughtercard and press fit for the backplane.
With dedicated power delivery and sequencing on the card edge, the Aptera connector provides the superior reliability and convenience of a backplane connector system.
Offers the following components: high-speed differential, single-ended, power and an L-Series version for low-peed data lines.
