Continental will be partnering with Samsara, a global telematics provider. The goal of this integration will be to deliver comprehensive, data-driven fleet management solutions with a focus on truck trailers. To accomplish this, both companies will exchange data points, providing customers with access to a broad spectrum of trailer data. This includes in-tire sensor data from Continental, such as tire pressure and mileage. Samsara and Continental are committed to building an integration that enables fleets to improve safety, streamline productivity and maintenance intervals, optimize trailer allocation and planning, and gain comprehensive visibility into trailer assets.

Omniseal Solutions, a design engineering and manufacturer of precision sealing and wear control solutions for over 60 years, will exhibit at SEMICON WEST 2024 in San Francisco from July 9 to 11, at Booth #1133, in collaboration with Saint-Gobain Electronics and Norton Abrasives.

Zeon Corporation through its venture capital arm Zeon Ventures Inc. has invested in Inkbit Corporation (Inkbit), a U.S. startup developing high-precision, multi-material 3D inkjet printing systems. Through this investment, Zeon intends to create new applications for its products and develop new materials.

The Agilis HD Grip D tire was developed to withstand the torque of a drive position and provide excellent traction through all seasons. In some regional and on/off road applications, the Agilis HD Grip D tire can be used in all positions, especially on 4X4 vehicles. The Agilis HD Grip D tire is also retreadable. Michelin Retread Technologies has many products that fit these 19.5” casings, but popular drive tire retreads include: MD XDN2, XDS2+, XDE M/S, and XDH

Vibracoustic has designed, developed, and tested an innovative Thermal Management Decoupling System that supports and isolates the co-located thermal technologies commonly used in next-generation battery electric vehicles. Addressing a crucial challenge in the electric vehicle industry, the system optimizes the bundling of thermal components such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) to save space, increase efficiency, and streamline assembly. This all-in architecture can be easily carried over in other vehicles without additional engineering. The thermal management system has proven its performance and reliability through extensive testing and benchmarking and is serial production ready.

DNV’s verification objectively confirms Hempaguard’s outstanding performance when it comes to the reduction of CO2e emissions from the maritime industry. In addition, fuel savings of up to 25% and average speed loss of 1.4% have been validated by the third party.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a new class of materials called “glassy gels” that are very hard and difficult to break despite containing more than 50% liquid. Coupled with the fact that glassy gels are simple to produce, the material holds promise for a variety of applications.

Gels and glassy polymers are classes of materials that have historically been viewed as distinct from one another. Glassy polymers are hard, stiff and often brittle. They’re used to make things like water bottles or airplane windows. Gels – such as contact lenses – contain liquid and are soft and stretchy.

WACKER, the Munich-based chemical company, will be presenting a selection of silicone products for battery technology and electromobility at this year’s Battery Show Europe. The focus will be on the potting compounds ELASTOSIL® CM 181 and ELASTOSIL® CM 185. The latter is a recent development which will be premiered at the show. Both products boost battery safety in electric vehicles. They ensure the reliable operation of battery cells and prevent fire from spreading in the event of thermal runaway in a cell. Battery Show Europe will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, from June 18 to June 20.
