Modeling Graphene in High-Frequency Electromagnetics

Graphene and other 2D materials are the focus of intense research and application interests due to their promising properties. In this blog post, we are going to use the example of a graphene-based THz metamaterial perfect absorber to demonstrate how to model 2D materials accurately and efficiently in high-frequency electromagnetics. The discussed techniques are equally applicable to modeling other thin…

Nieuwe generatie haakse kabeldoorvoeren IP65

Met de nieuwe KEL-FG-ER omvat icotek ‘s beproefde KEL-FG productserie nu beschermingsklasse IP65. De nieuwe deelbare kabeldoorvoer maakt het mogelijk om kabels in een hoek van 90° door te voeren en af te dichten. De KEL-FG-ER is geschikt voor kabels met en zonder connectoren. Afhankelijk van de bouwvorm worden kabels met een diameter van 1 tot 35 mm…

A simulation-based approach to design and automated high-mix low-volume manufacturing system

We participated in a fruitful collaboration with the University of Technology Eindhoven. We investigated, among other things, the added-value of different automation concepts in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment. This resulted in a paper that was recently accepted and published, titled: “A simulation-based approach to design and automated high-mix low-volume manufacturing system.” Read more

Superhuman precision in microsurgery: TMC and Microsure are making it possible

Some operations require hand movements that are so microscopic that very few doctors are able to perform them. Microsure is currently working on developing MUSA: the world’s first surgical robot for open microsurgery. Using two joysticks, the robot converts the surgeon’s hand movements into microscopic movements, making it possible to work with extreme precision. This will make it possible to help more…
