Case Studies

Customer Challenge: Crankshaft position sensors are a critical element of internal combustion engines as they help control ignition timing and report the vehicle’s revolutions per minute (RPM) displayed on the tachometer. The crankshaft position sensor...

Customer Challenge: Card readers are an easy way to prevent unwanted access to secure locations. It ensures that only authorized personnel may enter checkpoints and are much more difficult to compromise than traditional locks. For...

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC)-based systems are commonly used in aerospace, satellite, and high-frequency communications, where exposure to humidity, salt, dust, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) can negatively impact reliability.

A university research team set out to design a visibly transparent patch antenna that could be mounted directly over a satellite’s solar panel.

Customer Challenge: During the fabrication stage, attaching wires to a pipeline is simple, as they can be easily soldered on. Once buried and underground though, this method is risky and often prohibitive given the volatile...

Customer Challenge: UV cure encapsulants offer unique features and constraints compared to more conventional encapsulating resin systems. The UV cure aspect enables users to cure the system quickly, preventing bottlenecks in their production process while...

For this customer, the challenge was finding a single component coating that cured at room temperature, bonded to ABS and had sufficiently high dielectric strength to bolster the insulation resistance of their arcing chamber.

In this case study, the challenge was to find an electrically conductive coating that bonded to copper grounding studs and could withstand exposure to simulated sweat while maintaining sufficient conductivity to act as a grounding...
