Decorative Flexible Light LEDs for Consumer and Industrial Applications
Avago Technologies has announced a family of decorative flexible light strip modules for a variety of consumer and industrial applications. Avago's ASMT-Lx50 and Lx60 are said to be the industry's first light strip modules that can be bent into any shape that a designer can imagine without affecting performance. The thin flexible light optical light strips, which provide a bright "neon wire" effect, come pre-assembled and provides designers with ...
Touch Sensor Chip Integrates Touch Slider or Wheel with Seven Extra Keys
Quantum Research Group, the charge-transfer capacitive touch company, has announced the QT1106, a complete control integrated circuit that combines the functionality of a touch slider or wheel with seven additional keys. The wheel or slider uses a simple, inexpensive sensing element between three connection points. The device detects a single rapid touch anywhere along the sense elements. Alternatively, it can track a finger moving along the whe...
