QinetiQ North America's Dan Deguire, Senior Program Manager for Future Robotics, details the safety features built into the MAARS robotic platform as well as additional features that set it apart from the SWORDS robots that came before it. The new Digital Control Unit (DCU) significantly improves command and control and situational awareness ...

Electronic Design's Bill Wong had a chance to talk with QinetiQ North America's Dan Deguire about the MAARS (Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System), a modular remote weapons platform & IED neutralization tool. MAARS uses the more powerful M240B medium machine gun and has significant improvements in command and control, situational ...

The NWUAV MEMS Fuel Injection System uses Hewlett Packard Ink Jet technology to atomize a variety of fuels including JP5, JP8 and logistical fuels used in internal combustion engines. The system will allow longer duration flight times and reduced (green house gas) emissions as a result of the ability to digitally control the fuel delivery and ...

The operation of a Westech solar collector is as follows: Solar radiation is absorbed by the evacuated tubes and converted into heat. Heat pipes conduct the heat from within the solar tube up to the header. Water is circulated through the header via intermittent pump cycling. Each time it circulates the temperature is raised by 9-18° F and ...

The Westech Evacuated Tube Solar Collector is a device that absorbs thermal energy from the sun and converts it into usable heat. The heat is normally absorbed by water, or a freeze resistant water mix, which can then be used to supplement hot water heating, space heating and even space cooling via use of an absorption chiller or desiccant cooler ...

If you’ve ever used a glass lined thermos, you know that a vacuum is an excellent insulator. Evacuated tubes absorb solar energy and convert it into heat for use in water heating. The insulation properties are such that while the inside of the tube may be up to 300° F, the outer surface is cold to the touch. This means that evacuated tube water ...
