Boston Engineering Presents at ASPE 2010 Spring Topical Meeting

April 12th 2010

Location: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Topic:  Automated Lathe Ultramicrotome by Matt Reck

ASPE Logo

A local research university sought to develop a machine that would allow them to transition from an experimental tissue sectioning process which was difficult and often unpredictable and that only skilled technicians and scientists could perform to a reliable, repeatable automated process.  Read the Case Study to learn more.

Boston Engineering President Speaks at SBANE Cutting Edge Series Event

March 31st 2010  

SBANE

"Technology Game Changers," an event segment of SBANE's "Cutting Edge Series," held a breakfast panel presentation and discussion on Wednesday, March 31st. Panelist participants with expertise in the scientific community, addressed their experiences and their capability to transform an innovative concept into a commercially viable product. Topics included, but were not limited to, leveraging intellectual property and government underwrite; the advantages of spinning off technology into a separate company, once the product has commercial applications to both government or private sector customers; how to protect one's data rights when partnering with a prime contractor; and lastly,what the pros and cons are of having the federal government as your only customer.

Boston Engineering One of Three Design Partners for BF50x

January 18, 2010

BF50x Design Partner

BF50x

Boston Engineering named as one of three design partners for the new BF50x series DSPs. Blackfin BF50x processors equip designers with the performance they need to develop more accurate, energy-efficient industrial control and automation systems spanning power inverters, UPS, power and motion control, as well as smart metering and advanced sensing applications including power metering and flow/level metering. Coupled with Boston Engineering's expertise, companies can shorten their product development cycles and time to market - without compromising cost.

Beyond Plug-and-Play

January 7, 2010

R&D Magazine Article

R&D Magazine

Computer-based machining systems make basic metalcutting a largely plug-and-play process. In most cases, a 3-D CAD file run through a CAM package and posted to a CNC machine tool will produce a part that resembles the original model. However, it's far from a sure thing that the part will totally fulfill the function its designer intended. In reality, the experience and perception of those who manage the advanced machining systems ultimately determine how closely the final results reflect an engineer's intent. Michael Rufo, principal engineer and leader of the Advanced Systems Group at Boston Engineering Corporation, Waltham, Mass., says engineers usually are familiar with the machining operations required to turn their designs into tangible parts.

Digital Signal Processors at the Intersection of Form and Function

September 2009

RTC Magazine Article

RTC Magazine

Recent advances in actuator, power source and control electronics technologies are enabling companies like Boston Engineering to prototype autonomous underwater vehicles that look-and swim-like small fish.  With the ability to cover up to three times the distance of propeller-driven devices via its tuna-mimicking propulsion system, the "GhostSwimmer" aquatic robot developed by Boston Engineering, in partnership with the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering represents a pioneering application of biomimetic science, and is being considered by the U.S. Navy for deployment on underwater reconnaissance missions.

Electronic Design Article

Electronic Design

The U.S. Navy is equipping submarines with a range of robotic drones like the General Dynamics SeaStalker. This torpedo-style unmanned surface vehicle (USV) specializes in snooping.

Boston Engineering's GhostSwimmer takes a more fishy approach. The mechanics and dynamics of this tactical, efficient, biomimetic autonomous "artificial fish" autonomous underwater vehicle (UAV) mimic biological fish to replicate their highly efficient swimming mechanism.
