PRODUCT BRIEFS
Temperature detection
Littelfuse (Chicago, Illinois) introduced
its TTape overtemperature
detection platform for management
of Li-ion battery systems.
Littelfuse states that TTape is suited
for a wide range of applications,
including automotive EV/HEVs,
commercial vehicles and Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Its
distributed temperature monitoring capabilities reportedly
enable quick detection of localized cell overheating, thereby
improving battery life and enhancing the safety of battery
installations. Littelfuse states that TTape ensures that the battery
pack remains serviceable for an extended period by initiating
temperature management at an earlier stage. Multiple
cells can be monitored, thus alerting the BMS sooner in case
of overtemperature scenarios.

Beamformer chips
EnSilica (Oxfordshire, United
Kingdom) announced it is supplying
VITES with a new beamformer
chip for satellite user terminals.
VITES will use the chip at the
heart of its new ViSAT-Ka-band
terminal. EnSilica states that the beam-forming chip is optimized
to enable VITES' creation of power- and cost-efficient groundbased
flat panel user terminals for satellite communication systems
that can be used across a range of fixed and SatCom on
the move (SOTM) applications. Its new ViSAT-Ka-band terminal
is intended to be integrated into vehicles to track the movement
of low earth orbit (LEO) and other non-geosynchronous (NGSO)
satellites and allows users to access high-speed connectivity
anywhere on the planet while the vehicle is moving.

Optical adhesives
Delo (Windach, Germany) launched
an adhesive that has been optimized
to meet the high optical requirements
of modern driver-assistance
systems. DUALBOND OB6799 is
specifically designed for bonding
and active alignment of ADAS cameras. Delo states that the
epoxy adhesive has a linear curing shrinkage that is reproducibly
less than one percent. The product also reportedly exhibits
extremely low swelling behavior, even under changing temperature
and humidity conditions, so that camera focus remains
optimally adjusted and can permanently fulfill its safety
functions. Delo's application-relevant aging tests confirmed the
adhesive's high bonding strength to aluminum substrates.
