CRANSTON, R.I. (PRWEB)
December 20, 2019

AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce their upcoming attendance at IPC APEX EXPO 2020 taking place February 4-6, 2020 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. AIM will highlight their NC273LT low temperature solder paste for bismuth bearing alloys, RX18 and CX18 no clean flux cored solder wire along with their full line of solder assembly materials.

AIM’s NC273LT low temperature solder paste provides assemblers another tool to meet the changing needs of an evolving PCB assembly market. With peak reflow temperatures below 170°C, NC273LT reduces component and substrate warpage, reduces thermal exposure and saves energy. NC273LT paste improves the wetting performance of bismuth alloys to RoHS compliant plating and surface finishes. NC273LT provides long stencil life, excellent transfer efficiencies and minimizes solder balling common to high bismuth alloys. When thermal exposure during the assembly process is a limitation, NC273LT is an excellent RoHS compliant replacement.

AIM’s RX18 and CX18 continue to achieve unprecedented customer acceptance. Engineered for automated/robotic selective soldering, RX18 promotes thermal transfer, fast wetting and reduces voids/skips. Additionally, RX18 is extends solder iron tip life and leaves minimal flux residue. CX18 is an operator friendly, low odor/smoke formula, and speeds soldering performance leaving a clear, electrically safe residue that does not require removal. Further throughput and reliability gains can be realized when CX18 and RX18 are combined with AIM’s REL61™ and REL22™ alloys. REL22 improves product survival in extreme thermal exposure operating environments such as under-hood automotive, avionics/aerospace and LED lighting. REL61 is ideally suited for industries which require a cost effective alternative to SAC305 with no loss of processing performance or durability.

Along with these products, AIM will also showcase its full line of advanced solder materials, including solder paste, liquid flux and solder alloys. Visit AIM at IPC APEX EXPO 2020 in Booth # 2447 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA for more information and to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.

Bellus3D ARC-7 Face Scanning Camera System

The ARC solution is the next step in the goal of Bellus3D which is to allow product companies to bring a high level of personalization to their products by ensuring they fit the exact contours of the human face.

CAMPBELL, Calif. (PRWEB)
December 18, 2019

Bellus3D, Inc. a Silicon Valley startup formed by leading computer vision experts, is launching Bellus3D ARC, a revolutionary multi-camera 3D face scanning solution that captures commercial grade, full 3D face scan with the click of a single button in less than three seconds. The unique system provides near instant capture with no moving parts and requires no movement by the subject. Bellus3D ARC is a configurable arrangement of up to seven ARC smart depth-sensing WiFI cameras. Bellus3D ARC was developed in response to the market demand by a wide variety of industries that require facial measurements for a personalized and custom product fit. Initial target markets for the ARC solution include dental, eyewear, cosmetics, medical, virtual and augmented reality, and gaming. At CES 2020, ARC will be demonstrated using the seven-camera configuration providing full-head scans of all attendees visiting their booth.

Bellus3D ARC is the first mobile, multi-camera, 3D capturing system that can be used without the need of an operator. The system consists of a Windows-based host device and a configurable array of 3D vision cameras arranged in a semicircular arc surrounding a subject’s head. Each ARC 3D vision camera contains a high-res RGB sensor and IR sensors with a structured light projector, and an embedded mobile processor running on Android OS. The cameras capture and process data in parallel from different camera angles and send the data wirelessly to the host device. The host device merges data from all cameras to generate a full head model in a few seconds using Bellus3D patented proprietary face scanning software. The Bellus3D ARC system can be configured as a four camera system for face-only capture or expanded up to a seven camera configuration for full head capture. The included configuration mounting frame incorporates a standard VESA mount for easy mounting on industry standard armatures and desktop stands. The ARC camera is also available as a single-camera solution, which requires the user to to turn their head during scanning as with the previous generation of Bellus3D face scanning cameras.

A Windows developer API is provided to allow third-party developers to create innovative apps that require high-quality 3D face scans.The API uses a WebSocket interface to enable developers to quickly and easily incorporate Bellus ARC 3D face scans into their products and services using web-based programming languages, such as Javascript.

“The ARC solution is the next step in the goal of Bellus3D which is to allow product companies to bring a high level of personalization to their products by ensuring they fit the exact contours of the human face. There is no other solution available that can deliver such a high quality face scan in seconds with the click of a single button,” said Eric Chen, CEO of Bellus3D, Inc.

The company is demonstrating the power and ease of use of the ARC solution by providing free 3D face scans to interested CES attendees.

Bellus3D ARC will be available for developers in Q1, 2020. ARC multi-camera configurations start at under $2,500.

It’s amazing how fast the first 20 years have gone by. With those 20 years comes a lot of experience, which has allowed us to not only continue to develop and offer new products and ideas from our company, but help our industry partners develop them as well.

ABERDEEN, N.C. (PRWEB)
December 18, 2019

Meridian, an industry leading manufacturer of indoor and outdoor kiosks, interactive digital signage, and self-service software is celebrating their 20th anniversary during the month of December.

Meridian’s plans for the occasion include the unveiling of their newly renovated self-service solutions showroom, which will enable visitors to their Aberdeen campus to interact with many of their standard kiosk models in-person, and the release of a new 20th anniversary kiosk line. One model from the new line will be revealed at the National Retail Federation’s “Big Show” in January.

Established in 1999 by Chris Gilder, who remains Meridian’s Owner and CEO to this day, the self-service industry pioneer has seen a great deal of growth both internally and within the industry since its inception two decades ago.

“It’s amazing how fast the first 20 years have gone by,” said Gilder. “With those 20 years comes a lot of experience, which has allowed us to not only continue to develop and offer new products and ideas from our company, but help our industry partners develop them as well.”

Some of those partners encompass the most innovative technology companies in the world—including HP, Samsung, Intel, Arrow, and many others.

“We are fortunate to partner with some of the best and brightest companies in the world,” said Gilder. “As we approach our third decade, we are seeing partnerships—both old and new—take off like never before,” he said.

Gilder attributed much of that momentum to the increased rate at which self-service solutions are being adopted. “The world is embracing technology more than ever before—especially when it comes to self-service solutions,” he said.

Meridian is no stranger to growth, though. In fact, they have experienced a great deal of it just within the past year. Throughout 2019 the company invested in more advanced fabrication equipment, grew their fabrication and assembly facilities, and expanded internationally into the United Kingdom—and that growth doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

“We expect to continue to grow significantly in the next few years as self-service solutions are adopted at a rate exceeding anything like what we’ve seen in the past,” said Gilder.
