Tensor operations are the kind of arithmetic that form the backbone of nearly all modern technologies, especially artificial intelligence, yet they extend beyond the simple math we’re familiar with. Imagine the mathematics behind rotating, slicing, or rearranging a Rubik’s cube along multiple dimensions. While humans and classical computers must perform these operations step by step, light can do them all at once.

This whitepaper explores how to choose gearmotors for dirty and wet environments. Subject matter experts at Bodine Electric Company explain the standardized Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, identify what design tradeoffs are involved in achieving ingress protection, show how the motor design is validated for a specific IP rating, examine mistakes engineers sometimes make in selecting a gearmotor, and present real-world examples of gearmotors used in dirty and wet environments.

Modern aerial technologies are reshaping the future of warfare. Countering these threats requires adaptable, multi-layered systems that integrate detection, electronic warfare, directed energy, and kinetic interceptors. Arrow's latest whitepaper explores how engineers can design modular C-UAS architectures supported by AI, advanced sensors, and a traceable supply chain to effectively address these challenges.

As aerospace companies race to deliver cutting-edge technologies faster and more efficiently, digital innovation is taking center stage. For decades, manufacturers have relied on digital twins for design and simulation. Today, the industry is entering a new era with virtual twins.

IR Camera for Moving Objects

The new ImageIR^® 9800 from infraTec, Dresden, Germany, is designed for high-resolution thermographic measurements of highly dynamic processes. The radiometrically calibrated infrared camera operates in the long-wave atmospheric window (LWIR). Thanks to a cooled focal plane array photon detector with 1280 × 1024 IR pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 μm. It delivers razor-sharp images and distortion-free sequences even with short integration times or at low radiation intensity.
