ION, by First Resonance, ties manufacturing together with a factory operating system for the modern factoryKeeping up with what is happening with tariffs is a daily exercise and not for the faint-hearted. Though it has its ups and downs, there is one thing for sure: International companies having factories in the U.S. have the best chance of escaping tariffs. Though unforeseen capital expenditure may seem like bad news at first, some companies may already be looking on the bright side.
China Rapid Fire Gun to Protect Against Drone Swarms

China may have created the mother of all rapid-fire machine guns. Reviving “Metal Storm,” invented in Australia in the 1990s, China has created a turret-mounted gun system that uses the arrayed gun-barrel design. It is said to fire an astounding 450,000 rounds per minute. That’s ten times the rate of fire of the US Navy’s Phalanx, the rotating barrel, belt-fed rapid-fire system, which fires at a measly 75 rounds per second (4,500 rounds per minute). It’s misleading to use rounds per minute.

Breaking Out of Design Prison Requires an Accomplice — a Natural, Easy-to-Use 3D Modeler - ENGtechnica

If you are creating 3D models with CAD, you are depending on geometry kernels such as Parasolid, ACIS, Granite, CGM, others of that ilk or their derivatives. You probably don’t know what you are missing. The problem lies not in what you can model but what you cannot. You can certainly model almost all machine parts and structures, those that are straight or round, true, symmetric… attributes that define your idea of perfection.
Lucid to Use Everspin Technologies' PERSYST MRAM for Gravity SUV

Oct 28, 2024 | engtechnica.com | Roopinder Tara

Lucid Motors will be using Everspin Technologies’ PERSYST MRAM for its Gravity luxury all-electric SUV, which is expected to be delivered to eager customers in early 2025. The Gravity will have an undisclosed number of 256Kb MRAMs. In automotive applications, persistent memory like MRAM is typically deployed in key places rather than in large quantities like ordinary RAM.
