[Nexperia AXP Logic Translators at Digi-Key](
Digi-Key Electronics
[Nexperia]( [AXP family]( of Si-gate CMOS devices uses low threshold process technology and next-generation packaging technology to create extremely small functions that support the trend to low operating voltage and power consumption. [The AXP translators]( are level translating gates targeted at small footprint portable applications. They are available in single, dual, and triple gate mini logic formats. Multiple standard and configurable logic functions are included in the [AXP translators]( available in small packages.

[4 Mills in One Machine](
Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems
Hosokawa’s [Universal Mikro Pulverizer]( is designed for coarse granulation to ultra-fine size reduction of dry powders down to D97 < 35 µm. UMP Mills perform like Mikro Pulverizer® Hammer Mill but can use four different rotors — hammers, pins, knives, and attrition disks. It is an economical solution for milling chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food materials, plastics, and cosmetics. [Watch our 3 minute demonstration]( to learn more about this flexible milling system.

Church & Dwight, Inc. Specialty Products Division
The [ARMEX®]( difference:
• Versatility: 11 formulations to meet specific project needs
• Superior flow-ability: ARMEX is more resistant to moisture than other baking soda abrasives because of our moisture control additives
• Untouchable rinse-ability: patented SupraKleen® formulas allow for thorough rinsing and removal of residues, paint chips, and other surface contaminants improving new coatings adhesion
• Greater cleaning: grease, oil, burned on carbon deposits, or scale can be removed using [ARMEX]( formula HydroFlex® XL

[Mystery of the Part-time Stud Finder](
Steve recently moved into a new apartment and wants to use his father’s stud finder to help put up a TV mount. It’s a nice summer day, so he doesn’t mind driving to his parents’ house. After retrieving it, Steve went back to his apartment and turned it on but the screen remained blank. He changed the batteries and it still didn’t work. He ended up guessing where the studs were. When he finished working, he tried the stud finder again and this time it turned on. Why didn’t it work the first time?
