Storage Area Networks: The New Challenge After Networking
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/navigation/crypto/press4.html
Storage networks provide information storage over long periods of time. This means storage networks make a large contribution to knowledge management, but the challenges are enormous: the quantities of data increase, as do the threats in cyberspace. Connections between and within storage networks must be protected accordingly.
Take any project: the transfer of knowledge between decentralised project officers and central storage systems plays an important role in a lean, effective and efficiently run organisation. All those working on the project can have rapid access to all project informa...

Microflex Harness - Two Technologies in One
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/electronic/nicomatic/press1.html
Thanks to its double know-how in both flat cable manufacturing and CMM connector developments, Nicomatic launches an innovating flex harness solution aimed at card-to-flex connections.
This new "two in one technology" ensures a high mechanical link and electrical continuity between 2mm pitch CMM micro-connectors and flat cable Crimpflex technology. One of the major advantages is a small 2mm pitch that allows the reduction of space, but there is also a lower weight feature that enables the replacement of discrete wires and bulky cables still very present in avionics equipment. Nicomatic is a...

Floating Connector with 4D Tolerance Absorption
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/electronic/nicomatic/press2.html
Product innovation: smart connectors
4D = three axial motions + one rotation
Nicomatic has patented a 4D floating connector, whose innovation consists in a 4D absorption tolerance, +/-1mm amplitude in three directions and a rotation around the X axis.
The new product compensates for functional gaps in the case of PCB mounting inside mechanical structures. The product is now being tested to absorb vibration constraints in a PCB mount on a shock absorber with a panel end. The 4D floating connector is available in a standard part numbering system and with a large number of possible assembl...
