Amphenol’s new sensor tech detects thermal runaway
Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ new sensor technology platform, Robust Early Detection of Thermal Runaway (REDTR), is designed to detect battery cell faults that result in battery venting (see the recent Charged webinar on this topic). Stressed Li-ion batteries can undergo failure through a variety of factors. Failure can result in an internal reaction that generates heat… Read more »
Solar array at New Terminal One at JFK Airport to be largest at a US airport, will provide 50% of total electricity needed
John F. Kennedy International Airport, the busiest airport for international traffic in North America, always seems to be reinventing itself. It opened in 1948 as New York International Airport, although it was typically referred to then as Idlewild. The airport was intended as the world’s largest and most efficient, with “no confusion and no congestion.”… Read more »
