[Worldwide smallest draw-wire sensor](
Micro-Epsilon Group
With a weight of only 8 g and a size of just 19 x 19 mm, the [wireSENSOR MT19 sensor]( is used for displacement and distance measurements with a measuring range of 40 mm. Enabling wire accelerations of up to 60 g, the sensor is particularly used in applications where high dynamics are required (crash tests, simulators, or test benches). The miniature design enables installation into very small spaces. Through-bores in the housing support easy mounting.

[New epoxy hardens when one section is exposed to light](
Researchers have created a special formula for epoxy resins that [transforms within seconds just by applying light](. At first, the epoxy is clear and in liquid or paste form. When any part of the epoxy is irradiated with light, the entire epoxy solidifies and turns a dark color.

[The importance of specifying a pump early in the design cycle](
GRI Pumps (A Gorman-Rupp Company)
Knowing the specific fluid pumping requirements of an OEM application upfront in the design cycle is important. Unfortunately, many device and system designers neglect to consider their fluid pumping requirements until late in the development process. [Avoid costly design alterations by specifying early](.
