Foveated imaging camera mimics eagle vision
A team of researchers with the University of Stuttgart has used advanced 3D printing technology to create an extremely small camera that uses foveated imaging to mimic natural eagle vision. In their paper published in the journalScience Advances, the group describes their approach to creating a small high-resolution camera and possible applications.
FPGA features low power estimator
The availability of Microsemi's cost-optimised PolarFire Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) product family has been announced. It delivers low power at mid-range densities with 12.7Gbps Serialiser/Deserialiser (SerDes) transceivers as well as security and reliability.
DroneGun is quick on the draw
The latest development in anti-drone technology has been introduced by US and Australian-based company, DroneShield. UAV sales are on the up and they are increasingly being used as a tool by criminals and terrorist groups.
Who let the AirDogs out?
When people follow you around it can be a bit creepy, however not when it’s a drone. The AirDog is not about flying and following, it’s about getting the shot without taking anything away from what is most important, the action itself.A self-flying action sports drone, AirDog has been developed to follow you around and keep up with you as you perform all sorts of extreme sports.
Reference designs extend flight time of industrial drones
Two circuit-based subsystem reference designs have been introduced byTexas Instruments (TI) which will help manufacturers add flight time and extend battery life to quadcopters and other non-military consumer and industrial drones used to deliver packages, provide surveillance or communicate and assist at long distances.
Low profile wire-to-board connectors for miniature applications
In order to deliver a space-saving, low profile, wire-to-board connectivity solution for miniature applications,Hirose has introduced the DF58 series.The connector range consists of crimp sockets and headers in a single row.The mated height profile is minimised to 1.0mm and the depth to 4.97mm to reduce the space needed on the board.
