Progress toward lower carbon emissions, and greener power and transportation choices have created some amazing and exciting evolutions in technology. Green Technology goes alongside the concept of sustainability, which seeks to balance the efforts around protecting the environment, with a… Continue reading Clean Technology for A Greener World
For Aircraft and aviation related components, reliable high temperature detection is a key system for preventing a wide variety of in-flight system failures, or activating fail-safe mechanisms especially in so-called “spot-fire detection” applications. Indeed CPI’s X1 thermal switch is often… Continue reading Aircraft Fire Detection – Spot Fire detection Systems
You can think of wireless vehicle charging as an enhanced version of wireless smartphone charging with one big difference: The power required to generate the required electric field is significantly higher. As the power goes up, a number of additional… Continue reading CPI Helps Lead the Wireless Charge
CPI’s X1 thermal switch is being increasingly used by both American and European avionics manufacturers and integrators as their thermal switch of choice for spot detection of overtemperature conditions in systems throughout the aircraft. Recent integrations include FAA approval as a Fenwal… Continue reading Thermal Sensing for Avionics
In a past life I was privileged to work on the very first fly-by-wire system used on the F16. This was the first system of its type used in an operational jet fighter utilizing a quad redundant custom designed CPU… Continue reading Thermal Switches for Military and Commercial Jets
Like many other USA based manufacturers, CPI had many reasons to be optimistic about 2021 back in December of 2020. A COVID vaccine was on the horizon, business was off, but continued at reasonable levels. There was lots of talk… Continue reading Looking at 2021 – The Rear View Mirror that Wasn’t
In the good-old days, your basic bank heist required little more than some nerves of steel, a simple disguise, and a handwritten note demanding cash. Indeed as recently as 1992 in cities like Los Angeles and New York, there were… Continue reading CPI Thermals Do Their Part to Thwart Bank Robbers
As we all look forward to a greener, more sustainable energy future, the promise of hydrogen based fuel cells is certainly one of the most exciting energy technologies on the cusp of mainstream acceptance. Fuel cells were a 10 billion… Continue reading Fuel Cell Thermal Management by CPI
Earlier this year the state of Texas saw one of its most devastating statewide power outages when winter storms rolled through the state and left freezing temperatures behind for weeks. While the vast majority of power was lost due to… Continue reading CPI Helps Keep Windmills Warm
Power requirements in your average helicopter represent a few uncommon challenges. Consider the startup power required to get those turbines spinning. Then the instantaneous braking force necessary to respond to the pilots commands in real-time as he dips and rises… Continue reading CPI Thermal Switches, Tried and True for Aviation Applications
