Pulse Electronics' LDS Process Selected by Samsung to Enhance Design Flexibility and Performance for Mobile Devices

Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of electronic components, announces that its laser direct structuring (LDS) process was selected by Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. for  producing three-dimensional antennas to be incorporated into future Samsung products that use an antenna. Pulse's LDS process creates an antenna pattern in three dimensions on a plastic part, giving Samsung's mobile device product designers an almost unlimited ability to put the antenna anywhere and use almost zero volume.   

"The LDS process is a game changer for the mobile phone market as 3D shapes are needed to gain ever smaller and thinner mobile devices," explained John Houston, senior vice president, Pulse Electronics. "3D antennas save space, produce better RF performance, and provide freedom for design. The LDS process produces an outstanding 3D antenna, giving the designers flexibility for late definition, changes, or fine tuning during production to meet stringent carrier requirements. Pulse's LDS process will benefit Samsung in the design and production of its next generation mobile devices."

Samsung has found that by using Pulse Electronics' LDS process it can offer mobile developers the slimmer, more ergonomic, stylish, and high-performance mobile devices they prefer. Pulse has provided Samsung with its process knowledge, ability to enable engineers to achieve higher production yields, and final product quality. Through this extraordinary 3D LDS antenna technology, the end user finally can have an extremely slim phone compared to existing 2D antenna technology.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
