PRODUCTS

  • Geospace Technologies offers a complete line of AMI water meter connector cables specifically designed and manufactured to meet the rugged requirements for in-pit, underwater applications. Geospace’s unique design ensures total moisture sealing for even the toughest underwater environments, yet they are easily re-entered for troubleshooting a transponder or for a meter swap-out. Versions are available that utilize molded-in-place or potted terminators for sealing. Either version is totally intermateable with the Itron Inline Connector.

  • Introducing the TITANITE lens series, a groundbreaking innovation in light sheet microscopy designed for high magnification and an expansive field of view.

  • The MDPX-00006PSM is a versatile MMIC surface-mount diplexer designed to multiplex signals across two distinct frequency ranges: low-frequency DC to 10 GHz and high-frequency 12 to 28 GHz.

  • Protect your pharmaceutical products from any potential damage during their line transit. Integrate nests or trays into your line transport processes with our flexible, customizable options.

  • The MMPX-00002PSM is a passive MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) quadplexer designed to multiplex signals across four distinct frequency bands: DC–6 GHz, 8–10 GHz, 12–14 GHz, and 16–18 GHz.

Catalysts

Catalysts work by changing the structure of a molecule or by bonding to reactant molecules causing them to combine, react, and release a product or energy.  For example, a catalyst is required in order for oxygen and hydrogen to bond, combine and produce water.

Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions. Unlike a reagent that gets consumed as apart of the chemical reaction, catalysts do not get consumed in the reaction. They can actually participate in multiple chemical transformations.Catalysts can be organic, synthetic or metal.

All processes need energy to take place. Processes require a very high level of energy in order to spark or start if a catalyst isn’t present.  When a catalyst is present the amount of energy required to spark the reaction is lowered and that makes the reaction happen faster and more efficiently.

Catalytic effects vary depending on other substances present that are a part of the chemical reactions. There are certain substances that can inhibit the effectiveness of a catalyst like poisons, and other substances that promote or increase the effect of the catalyst.  Inhibitors or negative catalysts are very important in medicine to treat mental illnesses, high blood pressure, cancer and many other diseases.

Catalysts are often used to help crack, or split, larger organic molecules like hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. It does this by breaking carbon-carbon bonds. The speed of the splitting process depends heavily on what specific catalyst is used and the temperature.  Applications of this technology include oil and petrochemical industries.
