Read MoreEverything goes well with pizza, or so it seems, and the list of things that go well with pizza now include vibration test equipment, thanks to companies like Zume Pizza. Zume Pizza in Mountain View, California, has innovated pizza delivery; they bake each pie in their mobile kitchens and are able to move those kitchens to the demanded location (i.e. sporting events, concerts, schools). The pizza is delivered to your doorstep moments after it comes out of the oven.
Read MoreResearch into new-technology batteries has accelerated over the last decade with the promise of energy density being significantly improved. This research has led to more lithium-ion battery applications in aircraft, electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs and HEVs), 2 and 4-wheel light electric vehicles (LEVs) and personal items such as laptops and wearable devices.
Read MoreLithium-ion batteries are gaining popularity as the most common battery type used for electric vehicles. During their lifespan, these batteries undergo a variety of vibrations and temperature changes. Several common test standards have developed to simulate the long-term environmental effects on these batteries across different size levels (e.g. cell, module, pack).
