Novel counter predicts weapons maintenance
Advanced Design Consulting has developed a lightweight shot counting device that fits on a soldier's automatic rifle and does not impede aim.
The catalogue features standard products such as high precision slits with all electronics onboard, precision crossed roller jacks, crossed roller slides, standard precision crossed optical tables, and precision rotation stages.
It also has Eulerian and Kappa goniometers, plus goniometers with nanoradian accuracy.
Other standard products include beryllium windows and ion chambers.

Catalogue meets research needs
Advanced Design Consulting's new 2007/2008 catalogue includes products for physicists, chemists, biologists, and mechanical and aerospace engineers.
ADC provides exceptional engineering and scientific solutions to many companies and institutions.
"Our company is dedicated to developing, fabricating, installing and servicing systems to meet our customers' needs", says Alex Deyhim, the company's President.
That dedication is highlighted inside the catalogue, as the company's custom products are displayed.
These include spectrometers for inelastic X-ray measurements, a high-resolution backscattering spectrometer, beamstops and beamshutters, beam pipes, flight tubes and flare chambers, and an X-ray vacuum oven.
The company even displays the large precision turntable and the radio telescope tertiary noise shield that were used in the Gregorian reflector system for the upgrade at the Arecibo Observatory, Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
The precision roller jacks can travel in 25, 50, 90 or 100mm.
The precision optical tables are modular and highly flexible-providing x, y, and z axis motion, arranged in three-point kinematic fashion.
This is how the table is able to support optics and instrumentation for scientific research.
ADC has seven different models of rotation stages, which are designed for industrial settings.
Made from high-strength aluminium alloy, these stages can be used for measurement systems, vision control, automation, robotics, or synchrotron experiments.
For scientists who use X-ray diffraction or X-ray tomography, ADC offers two-, four- and six-circle goniometers to fit within a laboratory budget.
And as if top-quality products were not enough, the catalogue features a section on scientific references, as well as useful mathematical equations and constants.
The equations page provides general X-ray formulas, and Bragg's law and the correction for refraction in multilayer mirrors.
There is also a handy citation for the Rayleigh cross-section and scattering for a multi-electron atom.
