Product demonstrations include the following: -- Mobile Hydraulics Steer by Wire and Wireless Diagnostics -- Industrial Automation System Integrating Pneumatics pneu·mat·ics n. (used with a sing. verb) The study of the mechanical properties of air and other gases. pneumatics Noun , Electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). and Hydraulic Devices -- Wireless Interface to Process Valves and Controls. Adoption of wireless Bluetooth technology for industrial automation applications is in its early stages of development and deployment. Parker's product demonstrations are examples of the wide range of solutions possible. Parker's industrial automation product demonstrations on display include: -- IQAN mobile hydraulic system Noun 1. hydraulic system - a mechanism operated by the resistance offered or the pressure transmitted when a liquid is forced through a small opening or tube and motor display -- D1V proportional valves -- Oildyne hydraulic cylinder Hydraulic cylinders (also called linear hydraulic motors) are mechanical actuators that are used to give a linear force through a linear stroke. Operation Hydraulic cylinders get their power from pressurized hydraulic fluid, which is typically oil. and pump -- CTC CTC - Cornell Theory Center PowerStation -- Bluetooth Wireless Moduflex(TM) unit -- Convum vacuum generators, cups and digital display -- Kuroda rotary union and actuators -- Compumotor DynaServe direct drive motor -- VSO-EP pressure controller -- Lucifer electronic pressure controller and pneumatic rotary actuator. "Socket continues to demonstrate industry leadership in the Bluetooth connectivity market by offering small footprint reliable devices with diverse capabilities," said Parker Hannifin's Sandy Harper Sandy Harper is the name of a fictional character in the BBC medical drama Holby City. The character was portrayed by actress Laura Sadler.[1] The character first appeared on-screen on 5 October 2000 in the episode "The Deep End" - Series 3, Episode 1 of the , a senior R&D project engineer and wireless solutions project manager. "Implementing Bluetooth connectivity in industrial automation solutions is just beginning, but the benefits are significant. They include lower costs, ease of use and elimination of cumbersome cables. We're extremely excited about the diverse products being demonstrated using Socket's Bluetooth offerings." Both Socket and Parker Hannifin are members of the Bluetooth SIG's Industrial Automation Study Group. The group is establishing wireless guidelines and standards for industrial automation applications and Bluetooth implementations. Socket's Bluetooth products include the Bluetooth CF card, and an assorted array of small form-factor radio modules ideally suited for industrial automation embedded solutions.
