Thermal processing control systems, such as the Rockwell Automation® Programmable Automation Controller, are fundamental to these operations. In addition, temperature measurement loops are required for control and shut-off. These are typically either thermocouples or pyrometers for harsh environments. Power control architectures that regulate energy input to furnace heaters via SCR power controll

The effectiveness of introducing substances such as antibodies, drugs, viruses, or any other materials into a cell is greatly enhanced by using a modern technique: electroporation. However, the success of the electroporation process is highly dependent upon the quality of the high voltage power supply.

Since founded by Facebook (now Meta) in 2011, the Open Compute Project (OCP) has been at the forefront of developing open standards for both enterprise and data center applications. It is backed by other hyperscale and enterprise entities such as Google, Microsoft, Dell and HPE. Traditionally, the OCP Summit has been highly influenced by Meta’s latest developments and how it is driving the industry. As OCP evolves, new standards and different approaches have been proposed as alternatives or additions, such as the Open19 19-inch rack solution supported by LinkedIn a few years ago. This year, the Summit saw some new trends in standards and form factors.
