Chemistries and deposition technologies available at Gelest Inc. for improving the performance of nano-, micro- and macro-particles via surface modification are detailed in a
six-page, four-color brochure titled, “Micro-Particle Surface Modification: Innovating Particle
Functionalization.” Gelest provides focused technical solutions for surface modification in a
broad range of applications, including glass, energy, textile, displays, ceramics, digital inks,
thermoplastics, thermosets, biomaterials, printing inks, quantum dots, semiconductor, chromatography, nano-composites, imaging and printing, advanced composites, and optics and
optoelectronics. The brochure details the dramatic effects that surface-treated micro-particles
have on rheological behavior; hiding power and color strength; dispersion, solubility and polarity; photo, chemical and thermal stability; mechanical and electrical properties; and moisture
and corrosion resistance.

Programmable Precision Pulse Generator
End-User Software Utility
The pulse generator model PB- 5 NIM Pulser, manufactured
by Berkeley Nucleonics, offers 5 ppb stability over temperature changes, allowing end users to test the linearity and
stability of the most demanding circuits. The company has
developed a new front end utility, called PB- 5 WinControl,
which expands the functionality and test options for the laboratory user. Control up to eight pulse generators at the same
time to synchronize outputs or test multiple systems. Nuclear
circuits such as Pulse Height Analyzers and Multi-Channel
Analyzers require a stable pulse generator to simulate a wide
range of test conditions. However, the linearity specification
is limited by the fluctuations in the amplitude domain by the
pulse generator.

Optikos Corp. Announces Newly Developed
VLS-100 Variable Luminance Source
Optikos Corp. has developed the VLS-100 Variable Luminance Source, which is a controllable source of uniform,
visible illumination for testing cameras, image intensifiers
and visible to near-infrared night vision devices. It is used
with I-SITE software or as a standalone, computer-controlled device. The Variable Luminance Source features a 50-mm-diameter source aperture with < 2 percent
luminance non-uniformity. The source brightness is
continuously adjustable over a dynamic range of 106 that
is computer controlled to within 3 percent of its set value.
A range of filters and test targets is available to support
a variety of performance measurements. The VLS-100
Variable Luminance Source features automated variable attenuator and aperture wheel
with high-resolution stepper motors.

High-Speed, Multipurpose Digital
Fanout Buffer
Highland Technology introduces the Model
P730 high-speed, multipurpose digital fanout
buffer. Attractively housed in an anodized
aluminum enclosure, the P730 is suited to
embedded OEM or benchtop use. The P730
features two input banks that are user-routable to two output banks, each consisting of four buffered electrical outputs. Input
and output levels are independently adjustable, enabling compatibility with CMOS, TTL,
LVDS, NECL, PECL, NIM and sine wave systems. Fiber optic inputs are optionally available, expanding electrical signal translation
to include optical-to-electrical conversion,
galvanic isolation and 1244.16 Mb/s SONET
OC- 24 compatibility. A fully DC-coupled signal path maintains signal integrity to greater
than 1 GHz pulse repetition rates.
