Start-up assistance for founders
Introduce ideas to industry representatives and find supporters: That is what new companies and potential founders can do at the electronica Fast Forward Start-up Award, which the International Trade Fair for Electronic Components, Systems and Applications is presenting. The prize: An exhibition stand at the electronica Start-up Platform in Munich from November 8 to 11th and a campaign that will bring the winner a step closer to the dream of havi...
Reproducing functional principles of the brain with the use of technology
A research team from Kiel led by Professor Hermann Kohlstedt, Head of the Nanoelectronics Department at Kiel University and spokesman of the national collaborative research project "Memristive devices for neural systems", funded by the German Research Foundation, aim to track this impressive efficiency of the human brain using technology and to implement its method of operation in artificial neural networks.
Powering reliable research
Power quality specialist REO UK has refreshed REOVAR, a series of variable transformers that provide adjustable output voltages with a constant sinusoidal waveform. REOVAR is designed to eliminate high-frequency electrical interference in test and research facilities where it can lead to falsified results but where various output voltages are required.
Biosensor chip can detect DNA mutations
Bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego have developed an electrical graphene chip capable of detecting mutations in DNA. Researchers say the technology could one day be used in various medical applications such as blood-based tests for early cancer screening, monitoring disease biomarkers and real-time detection of viral and microbial sequences. The advance was published inProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
e2v unveils first dual channel space grade A/D converter
The EV12AD550 1.5GSps ADC from e2v supports high dynamic range at 4.5GHz and S-band direct digitisation, which enables space systems to avoid costly down conversion requirements. Future Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Earth observation systems, for example, will be able to operate this ADC at up to 5.5GHz without the need for down conversion.
Electron spin relaxation can enhance magnetic compass sensors
Reporting their results in the New Journal of Physics, scientists have taken a step forwards in unravelling the inner workings of the avian compass - a puzzle that has captivated researchers for decades. The team, led by a group at Oxford University, is exploring the popular hypothesis that birds orientate themselves thanks to light-induced, magnetically sensitive chemical reactions, which take place in proteins known as cryptochromes present in ...
electronica to add an additional hall
The International Trade Fair for Electronic Components, Systems and Applications is getting closer, and exhibitor demand is enormous. As a result, the upcoming electronica from November 8 to 11th, 2016 will feature an additional hall and will then occupy a total of 13 halls at the Messe München trade-fair centre. However, that is not the only development at this year's international trade fair.
New Ultra-Efficient 600 RPM PremiumPlus+ Motor
NovaTorque has introduced 600 RPM versions of its PremiumPlus+ Electronically Commutated Permanent Magnet (ECPM) Motors. The new 600 RPM versions are currently available from 0.75 HP to 3 HP, with 5HP and 7.5HP models coming soon. These versions are particularly well suited for directly driving larger diameter fans at low speeds, enabling the elimination of the costs, maintenance, and efficiency losses associated with belts and pulleys.
Microfluidic chip digitises information on living cells
Phone calls and text messages reach you wherever you are because your phone has a unique identifying number that sets you apart from everybody else on the network. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are using a similar principle to track cells being sorted on microfluidic chips.
4th/5th Gen Intel Core processor blade features ECC memory
ADLINK Technology introduces the cPCI-A3515, the company’s first product in a series of CompactPCI Serial processor blades. This 3U module features an Intel Core processor and supports the CompactPCI Serial industry standard for applications requiring reliable high-speed, high-bandwidth data communications, such as railways, factory automation, and defense.
