With plastic pollution causing untold damage to the environment, CET&D looks at how testing and certification can help consumer electronics companies in their shift to degradable and recycled plastics.

As the demand for health-monitoring tech increases, regulators and product developers must balance the need to keep up with growth with the need to ensure the technology is safe. CET&D investigates.

Developing standards for displays requires collaboration but never a compromise on quality, says Roland Wooster, of the Video Electronics Standards Association.

Designed to stop the reflection of sound or electromagnetic waves, anechoic chambers are essential to today's consumer electronics testing. CET&D surveys some of the most silent spaces on Earth.

Tech companies are under growing pressure to make their devices more repairable. CET&D looks at how the push for repairability could revolutionize electronics design and certification

IEC Secretary-General Philippe Metzger has presided over a turbulent time in its history. But despite the many challenges, the global standards agency's role is more relevant than ever, he says.

Voice recognition technologies are more popular than ever. But successfully testing them requires a sophisticated understanding of the complex ways they are used, and of the acoustic environments they must operate in.

Launch system developers are testing biofuels to ensure growth in orbital businesses is environmentally sustainable

The pandemic has prompted innovation among medical equipment suppliers and changes to the standards they must meet

Many key technologies in consumer electronics owe their origins to NASA research. CET&D discovers what the space agency can teach us about the development of new products.

Through its invention of GORE-TEX® fabric, Gore has become synonymous with waterproof clothing. Today, the company plays an equally vital role keeping our phones dry.

The consumer electronics industry is increasingly relying on collaborative robots to help test and develop the latest devices to hit the market. Three experts provide insight into the key roles cobots can play

Engineers are developing in-orbit refueling stations for satellites and launchers to enable further exploration into space

Stronger standards and testing is required to cover the development and operation of drones in bad weather

In his role as head of US product testing, Bob DiMaggio has the final say on Panasonic consumer electronic products destined for the American market. He talks to CET&D about his work.

CET&D sits down with the Consumer Technology Association's sustainability lead Walter Acorn to talk about environmental issues, including the electronics industry's response to the problem of e-waste.

THE CONNECTED REVOLUTION IS TAKING HOLD IN THE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE INDUSTRY. NOW, AS WELL AS DESIGNING MACHINES, OEMs MUST CONSIDER DEVELOPING SMARTPHONE APPS TO ENHANCE THEIR VEHICLES’ CONNECTIONS WITH EACH OTHER AND EVEN HELP THEM COMMUNICATE WITH RIVAL BRANDS

As Hurricane Florence approached the USA in September 2018, it became the most powerful storm ever recorded in the region. Fortunately, winds had eased slightly by the time it made landfall, but that didn’t stop a full-scale evacuation of over one million people. State DOTs used the latest real-time information tools as well as advanced GIS to aid the process

Engineers developing ion thrusters and nuclear fusion reactors to propel mankid's push into deep space are facing some tought testing challenges here on Earth

AS TODAY'S INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE DESIGN DEMANDS THE INCLUSION OF AN INCREASING NUMBER OF COMPLEX ELECTRONIC DEVICES, CAN THE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL DEVELOPED IN THE 1980s – CANBUS – KEEP PACE? WE CHART ITS HISTORY AND ASK IF ETHERNET IS ABOUT TO TAKE OVER

This paper describes the treatment of a malocclusion involving a unilateral crossbite where there was no mandibular deviation into maximum intercuspation. Treatment involved the use of a modified quad helix which was active mainly on the affected side. This modification allowed arch expansion in the area where it was required.
