Agilent Technologies Inc. and Waters Corp. announced a formal agreement to exchange instrument controls to improve the productivity of customers who own software and instruments from both companies. The new agreement replaces earlier provisions under which Agilent implemented control of Waters instruments in the Agilent OpenLAB chromatography data system and Waters implemented control of Agilent liquid chromatography instruments in Waters Empower Software. The newly signed agreement defines terms and conditions on how the companies will exchange instrument control documentation and driver software and how they will provide developer and technical support to one another. It also spells out the escalation mechanisms for resolving technical issues for their mutual customers. "Agilent's open-systems approach to laboratory informatics allows our customers to select the best hardware and software for their needs," said John Sadler, Agilent vice president and general manager of software and informatics. "We are integrating a full complement of third-party gas and liquid chromatography

Victaulic, the world's leading manufacturer of mechanical pipe-joining systems, introduces Victaulic Tools for Revit, an innovative Autodesk® Revit® MEP add-in that increases drawing productivity, solves troublesome pipe routing problems and enables the creation of construction and fabrication documentation within Revit. Victaulic Tools for Revit allows users to route pipe twice as fast and increase efficiency and productivity. The productivity tools within Victaulic Tools for Revit allow users to design virtual, intelligent models with all mechanical or pump room details in half the time compared to current routing techniques within Revit. The enhanced routing and editing tools enable the creation of complex piping systems with fewer clicks. Features that increase routing efficiency include:  Pipe Splitting: Automatically splits pipe into predetermined minimum and maximum lengths and joins the pipe sections with the specified coupling as the user routes. Rotate Selection: Rotates selected portions of the model at a specified angle within the 3D view. Resize Selection: Changes

MTI Systems Inc. announced the release of Costimator® With 3DFX, an automated feature recognition (AFR) function that recognizes CAD features and their parameters from solid models. 3DFX provides estimators complete control over features they “extract” and import into Costimator for estimating. Costimator With 3DFX increases cost estimating speed and quoting throughput up to 90%, while dramatically improving cost estimating accuracy and consistency, from part to part, estimator to estimator. “Adding automatic feature recognition technology that instantly identifies part dimensions and features is a critical time saver for estimators,” said Mr. David LaJoie, vice  president, Sales and Marketing, MTI Systems. “A quote that would typically take an estimator hours to develop can now be done accurately in just minutes with 3DFX.” Coined from combining the “3D” (CAD) and “FX” from feature extraction, the Costimator 3DFX 3D CAD viewer supports over thirty file formats from developers such as AutoCAD, STEP, IGES, NX and SolidWorks. Estimators can

Fujitsu Laboratories announced that, in preparation for the next-generation mobile communications 5G system, achieved multiple access by multiplexing millimeter-wave beams. This technology will enable simultaneous high-capacity communications for multiple users while minimising reductions in communications speeds. In the past, when large numbers of users communicated at the same time, because their emitted radio waves would interfere with each other, there was a need to partition time and frequencies, which resulted in the problem of slower communications speeds. Now, in the 60 GHz millimeter-wave band, Fujitsu developed a technology that reduces radio waves that were generated outside of the targeted direction during beam formation using array antennas that consisted of multiple aligned antenna elements, to one fifth the conventional amount. With the developed technology, by multiplexing narrow radio-wave beams, many users are able to communicate without interfering with each other, and reductions in speed during times of high-capacity communications are minimised. In internal

Dassault Systèmes  today announced the launch of the “Perfect Product” industry solution experience for consumer packaged goods companies. Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Perfect Product” offers brand and contract manufacturers a digital collaborative innovation platform to discover and develop high-performing formulas that reinforce brand equity and inspire consumer loyalty. For manufacturers of beauty, personal care and household goods, a formula’s performance determines the quality of a consumer’s product experience and the willingness to repeat a purchase.  In a crowded marketplace where over 80 percent of new product introductions fail within their first year, discovering breakthrough molecules by evaluating benefits through scientific simulation in silico translates into accelerated time-to-market, increased sales and clear product differentiation. “Perfect Product” brings together consumer insights, formula discovery and design, regulatory compliance and product specification management into a single platform.  This enables multiple functions inside and outside the enterprise to collaborate together in real time, accelerating formula development, optimizing

Dassault Systèmes  announced the launch of “Passenger Experience,” a new aerospace and defense industry solution experience, featuring high-end 3D visualization technology for the profitable delivery of customized aircraft cabins. Aircraft modernization and the retirement of thousands of aircraft over the next decade have led to a strong build cycle in the industry. This is spurring innovation in cabin personalization as an effective tool for business jet original equipment manufacturers, completion centers, suppliers and airlines to differentiate themselves and build customer loyalty. Based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Passenger Experience” uses high-end 3D visualization technology and interactive content to transform engineering data into powerful, visual 3D design, marketing and sales applications that address all aspects of the cabin design experience—from initial customer interaction and design validation and verification, through to marketing campaigns. “We are convinced that the Dassault Systèmes ‘Passenger Experience’ will help to better differentiate from competitors and more efficiently meet customers’ demands,”
