Researchers examine 1,000 years of English
Evidence suggests that the interface between humans and technology will only become more central to modern life.For humans to be able to extract meaningful information from the troves of data being collected by the 'smart' machines with which we interact--such as mobile phones-- computers need to be able process language like humans. The branch of artificial intelligence that addresses this need is called natural language processing.
From something you can feel to something that feels right
Helped by EU funding, Ultrahaptics is the first and only company in the world to develop a device which allows users to feel sensations with their bare hands while interacting in mid-air with a touchless sensing system. This frontier heralds a fundamentally new relationship with technology.The EU-funded UTOUCH project has enabled the development of ultrasonic speakers which project Invisible forces into the air, capable of being felt on human ski...

Mid-air haptic technology commercialised in 4D slot machines
Mid-air haptics company, Ultrahaptics has signed an agreement with global gaming leader IGT to supply its mid-air haptic feedback solution for implementation in IGT’s TRUE 4D games on the CrystalCurve TRUE 4D cabinet.
Sensors for the IoT age
Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development and Technical Marketing, Farnell element14, highlights the importance of choosing the right sensor.
A hard Brexit will hurt the UK more than the EU
In a recent report carried out by Baker McKenzie, it highlights the scale of the impact of a hard Brexit on UK manufacturing, in particular the automotive sector.A hard Brexit could cost the UK's Automotive, Technology, Healthcare and Consumer Goods sectors a total of almost £17bn per year in lost EU export revenues, according to ‘The realities of trade after Brexit.’ The report, launched by global law firm Baker McKenzie, cover...
CCIX silicon demonstration vehicle in 7nm process technology
A collaboration to build the first Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) test chip with TSMC 7nm FinFET process technology for delivery in 2018 has been announced by Xilinx, Arm, Cadence Design Systems, and TSMC. The test chip aims to provide a silicon proof point to demonstrate the capabilities of CCIX in enabling multi-core high-performance Arm CPUs working via a coherent fabric to off-chip FPGA accelerators.
Silicon Valley is a prime location for haptics leader’s first US office
Mid-air haptics specialist, Ultrahaptics, has recently opened its first US office in Silicon Valley. The office, which is based in Palo Alto, will house the company’s growing US team. Globally, the team has grown from three to 79 people in the past three years, in part fuelled by the company’s series B investment round of £17.9m/$23.4m that was closed in May 2017.
Gold plated contacts enhance jack socket range
The range of audio jack sockets from Cliff Electronics has been extended with the introduction of a socket featuring gold plated contacts. Suitable for low level signals and high-surge voltages gold plated contacts offer a high reliability connecter solution. The sockets are available two diameters, 6.3mm or 3.5mm to mate with the most popular jack plug sizes.
The key to calculating battery life in the IoT
As Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development, Premier Farnell explains, the internet has dramatically changed the way we design most electronic systems, with everything from signage at a bus stop, to complex industrial systems now using connectivity as a key part of their functionality. Perhaps the biggest change, however, is the introduction of sensor systems that collect data and pass the information to the cloud.
