Tech Solders
Company Description
According to two recent EU directives, lead is soon to be totally banned from electronic equipment because of its toxicity to human health. Lead-based soldering alloys currently used in certain engineering applications where the operating temperatures of the circuitry exceeds 125° have a very high content of lead in order to keep the melting point high and, on top of this, need to be periodically replaced because failure of the mechanical joint occurs. Tech Solders offers a novel way of assembling electronic components to circuit boards by means of a lead-free solder alloy that is capable of operating in liquid state, therefore preventing the failure of the assembly.

R Logg
Company Description
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an expanding industry - US$2bn in 2005, projected to grow by 50% within 3 years. Much of this growth is due to cheap "passive" tags, which require no power supply and hold useful digital information. More expensive "active" tags utilise a battery to power complicated electronics for the lifetime of the tag. Until now, data logging applications were only possible either using an active tag, or a passive tag when in the field of an interrogator unit. RLogg have filed a patent on a hybrid RFID data logging solution that allows several new low cost applications.
