Smart building kit speeds LoRaWAN evaluation
In stock at authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is the MultiTech OneBox Kit that features Reveal Sensors to allow quick evaluation of LoRaWAN technology for building applications.
NewTek LVDTs provide critical measurements for steam turbines on valve position
Hermetically-sealed linear position sensors from NewTek Sensor Solutions tolerate the high temperatures and vibrations of steam turbines to deliver accurate and reliable position feedback on the position of governor and throttle valves.
The role of precision time protocol synchronisation in Ethernet cameras
Ethernet cameras rely on precise timing and synchronization for accurate data transmission. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) ensures sub-microsecond accuracy, synchronizing time clocks among IP-connected devices.
Fingerprints supports fourth-gen biometric payment card
Fingerprint has been deeply involved in the development of the new generation of Thales Gemalto biometric payment card, which is ready for global volume mass deployment.
High precision voltage tracker for automotive
Nisshinbo Micro Devices has launched the NJW4250 intended for automotive applications, ECU, Body Equipment, power supply for off-board sensors.
Next-generation multizone time-of-flight sensor from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics' VL53L8CX, a new 8 x 8 multizone time-of-flight (ToF) ranging sensor, brings several improvements including enhanced ambient-light immunity, reduced power consumption, and improved optics.
MEMS pressure sensors now also for 3.3V supply
The family of WSEN-PDUS differential pressure sensors from Würth Elektronik has grown: the two new models work with an operating voltage of 3.3V and are therefore compatible with most microcontrollers that support this supply voltage. The other models in the series require 5V.
Transforming heart health with smart data
Using data from wearables, Researchers at Duke University, in collaboration with computational scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, have made a breakthrough in heart health monitoring with the Longitudinal Hemodynamic Mapping Framework (LHMF).
FMCW radar sensor covers 76 GHz to 81 GHz
In stock at authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is the AWR294x frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor from Texas Instruments.
Smart pill tracks sleep apnea and opioid risk
A smart ingestible electronic device has been developed that promises to be a less intrusive and more efficient way of monitoring vital signs, particularly for patients with sleep apnea and those at risk of opioid overdose.
