Global Display Solutions (GDS), in association with Distec GmbH, is pleased to announce the availability of the world’s first 70” TFT display monitor for the out-of-home (OOH) digital signage market. Using GDS’s proprietary G-BOND optical bonding process, the display was recently built and showcased at the Viscom show at Düsseldorf in Germany by digital signage specialist Distec on whose behalf GDS developed this product. With a 70” HD resolution TFT display panel and AR coated laminated glass, this bonded product was manufactured at GDS’s state–of-the-art bonding facility in Italy, and was exhibited at the exhibition prior to being shipped to America for field trials with a major advertising company.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a newly designed printed circuit board (PCB) for the E-T-A 19BGT 19 rack. This addition to E-T-A’s range of system solutions offers a cost-effective approach for applications in factory automation, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and telecommunications, by reducing wiring times.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced the E-T-A 4930, a new remotely controlled, single pole circuit breaker (RCCB) approved to MIL-PRF-83383 for the protection of aircraft electrical systems and other high performance applications. Low current remote switching is achieved through the use of a conventional, manually operated aircraft-style thermal circuit breaker such as E-T-A types 4120 or 483: thus the 4930 can be placed close to the system it is protecting and wiring harnesses and hence weight can be significantly reduced.

PULS UK announces launch of the innovative QTD20.241 DIN-Rail power supply for use with AC motors and drives. At only 65mm wide and offering 24VDC at 20A this 95% efficient Din-Rail power supply uses existing system power to provide secure DC for control systems.

HARTING has extended its family of industrial Ethernet switches to include a unit with an external configuration memory. The configuration memory is mounted in a standard Han® 3A robust metal housing, and is designed to remain in place if the switch needs to be exchanged during service. It retains all the switch settings so that, when a new switch is connected, it starts up automatically without the need of reconfiguration and start up by a network specialist.

Simple steps can be taken by major employers to save energy costs and to dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of their IT departments, according to power management specialists Carter Sullivan. Bedford-based Carter Sullivan is now offering free Power Surveys to help companies identify where they are losing money and where inefficiencies are contributing to poor environmental management.
