On April 8-10, we will make our first exhibitor appearance at the Ocean Business expo that takes place in Southampton, UK. As the name suggests, Ocean Business is entirely dedicated to showcasing the most recent trends within the field of marine and naval technology. For that reason, we will be bringing along our high-end piezoelectric solutions that enable all manner of sonar systems for underwater navigation and communication. Come inspect our products and have a chat with our representatives, Charles Mangeot and John Klausen, at stand V1F. Also, feel free to contact either of them ahead of the show if you want to set up an appointment in advance.

Literally not much to see here, as you are looking at what we believe to be the world’s smallest HIGH-FREQUENCY PZT THICK FILM TRANSDUCER! ? Measuring just 1 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness, this 25 MHz transducer is not much larger than a grain of sand. We have developed it for our good friends at TECLens who use it in their innovative “Quantitative Corneal Cross-Linking (qCXL?)” technology, offering non-invasive treatment of presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) and other refractive errors. ? The treatment involves application of vitamin B2 to the cornea as a photosensitizer before TECLens’ patented CXLens? is placed on the scleral surface of the patient’s eye. The CXLens? then delivers a precisely calculated amount of ultraviolet light in an exact pattern to the cornea. In combination with the applied vitamin solution, the light strengthens select regions of the cornea, causing it to reshape to correct vision errors.? ? Integrated into the CXLens?, our thick film transducer transmits an ultrasonic signal that is reflected by the cornea and subsequently registered again by the transducer. As the cornea responds to the treatment, changes in the ultrasonic signal indicate when the desired outcome has been reached. ???????

Since 1985, DuPagePads has worked to end homelessness and alleviate its consequences in DuPage County, Illinois, the local community of our company headquarters. The organization provides year-round food programs, shelters and housing solutions while also offering comprehensive support services and employment advice. ?????? Eager to lend a hand to the good cause, nine members of our CTS Cares team volunteered last week to help by prepping and serving meals. All smiles as it was time well spent!?????????? ?????????

Single crystals are the premium choice of piezoelectric materials for sonar transducers. With high sensitivity and increased bandwidth, the piezoelectric performance of PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT single crystals are unrivaled. This also has the added benefit of enabling smaller and lighter transducer designs with fewer constituent components, increasing design freedom and lowering power consumption for longer deployment cycles. CTS is the world’s largest, fully integrated developer of piezoelectric single crystals. Our capabilities include in-house crystal growth, platinum refinement and crucible refurbishment, chemical batch purification, reactive ionized etching and much more. Reach out for expert advice on sonar transducers and all things piezoelectric from the best in the business. ?????? https://lnkd.in/daFPZ3um #piezoelectric #singlecrystal #sonar #ultrasound #transducer #pmnpt #pinpmnpt ?

Highly complex electronic systems will often require several means of current monitoring to ensure efficient, safe and long-lasting operation. The wide measurement range and galvanic isolation provided by a Hall-effect current sensor can for instance be complemented by the stellar low-current accuracy of a shunt resistor, ensuring greater performance monitoring across a wider current spectrum and also offering measuring redundancy in case of malfunctions. ? When a standard current sensor is not sufficient for an intricate system, the CTS engineering team offers custom design support. In accordance with customer specifications and requirements, we build unique and tailor-made solutions in which several sensors (current, voltage and temperature) can be combined for complete system diagnosis. Here are a few examples of our capabilities. Do not hesitate to reach out with details of your particular challenge. We are happy to help. https://lnkd.in/dFMiD9Zc #currentsensing #electrification ??

To all our friends, colleagues and partners who celebrate Lunar New Year: Happy Year of the Snake! We hope it will be a prosperous one for you.

The AEC-Q200 is a global standard that determines stress resistance criteria for passive electronic components in automotive settings. Such components include, among others, frequency control devices that provide local timing references, enabling and improving applications such as GNSS navigation, V2X communication, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and many more. The automotive operating environment is often rather inhospitable to delicate electronics due to, for instance, mechanical wear and tear and high temperatures. Hence, these systems and their constituent parts must be able to withstand greater amounts of stress to maintain proper performance over time. Our product experts have compiled a list of tests that automotive grade frequency control crystals must be subjected to (and pass!) in order to meet the AEC-Q200 requirements. You can also inspect our selection of AEC-Q200 certified crystals and clock oscillators, ideal for frequency control applications in automotive settings.

Echosounders are sonar devices used to map underwater objects and seafloor topography. They provide valuable information on water depth and are employed in scientific exploration, search and rescue operations and more by emitting ultrasonic energy and registering it again when it is reflected by the seafloor or other underwater objects. Piezoceramic plates and composites are typically employed in the receiver part of these applications to pick up the ultrasonic echo and convert it into electrical signals for 2D or 3D seabed imaging.

Is your high-power application running at peak efficiency? Electronic systems of all kinds are required (and expected) to operate at maximum efficiency for the full extent of their lifespan, leaving little room for unoptimized performance or – dare we say it – breakdowns. This poses a challenge for high-power applications in particular, as they are more prone to drifting from their initial electrical calibration over time, eventually resulting in less-than-optimal operation and reduced performance output. Small in size and price, but making a BIG difference, the PCB MOUNT CURRENT SENSOR from CTS Corporation will provide a valuable diagnostic signal of your system’s operational state and enhance its performance to boot. Using open-loop Hall-effect technology, the PCB mount current sensor converts the magnetic field generated by the system’s primary conductor into a proportional voltage output, enabling precise measurements of the currents up to 1000 APK. This makes it an ideal fit for all manners of high-power applications, especially PCB inverter systems and high-power PCBs, that require diligent performance monitoring to maintain efficiency.
