Companies work together to offer smart home solutions
GreenPeak Technologies has announced that People Power, an award winning software company offering cloud and mobile services, has launched Presence Security which is built on GreenPeak technology. Both companies are important drivers in developing future proof, high quality Smart Home solutions for senior lifestyle, energy efficiency and home security.
Technology adds the sensation of motion into VR
Mayo Clinic and vMocion, LLC, an entertainment technology company, announced it is making available Mayo Clinic's patented Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) technology specifically for use in VR and AR. vMocion's 3v Platform (which stands for virtual, vestibular and visual) incorporates this patented GVS technology, which adds a complete sense of 3D movement for the first time into a VR or AR environment.
900v SiC MOSFETs cut cooling requirements
Availability and full design support capabilities for the expanded portfolio of 900V MOSFETs from Wolfspeed have been announced by Richardson RFPD. The C3M0120090J, C3M0120090D, C3M0280090J and C3M0280090D join the previously-released C3M0065090J and C3M0065090D and feature Wolfspeed’s new C3M SiC MOSFET technology.
'Keiser rigs' stress materials to improve products
Understanding and predicting the performance of cutting-edge materials in extreme environments have long been signature strengths at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. For decades, environmental exposure chambers at ORNL, including some called Keiser rigs, have subjected materials to corrosive gases, crushing pressures and calamitous heat.
Morgan's Salamander SiC crucible a promising energy-saving solution
The consumption of energy is of key importance to the metal casting industry, with most energy expenditure, 55%, occurring during the melting process. However, until now it has been difficult to find data relating to energy use and crucibles and so to assess the cost of crucible ownership in a way that includes energy savings.
Biosniffers diagnose diseases via biomarkers in breath
Professor Il-Doo Kim in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) is developing ultrasensitive and highly selective gas sensors to diagnose diseases by exhaled breath analysis. Professor Kim has led the development of semiconductor metal oxide-based nanofiber sensor arrays, which are optimised for pattern recognition of breath prints.
Kidney transplant procedure makes all donors compatible
Desensitisation is a technique that prevents rejection of transplanted kidneys, which means that donors and patients can be much more easily matched. A new study of 1,000 patients shows its promise at changing how organ transplants work.Incompatibility between donor and recipient is the biggest barrier to successful transplants. If the recipient’s immune system attacks the organ, then the transplant fails.
Gate drivers offer industry's highest noise immunity
Designed for cutting-edge power supply designs and based on Silicon Labs' proven digital isolation technology, Silicon Labs has announced its Si827x ISOdriver family. The family is claimed to provide the highest Common Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) of any gate driver on the market, making them suited for fast-switching and potentially noisy power supply systems.
The impact of VR will go far beyond the marketplace
A middle-aged white man sees himself as a young black woman being taunted by a racist. An Israeli grandmother glimpses herself as a Palestinian teen. A star athlete experiences what life would be like in a wheelchair. These are not plots of dystopian movies. They are experiences that take place in VR, which technologists believe will be the next major platform for everything from gaming to social interaction and perhaps even global diplomacy.
Railway router suits data-intensive communication
NetModule has presented the NB3711, a router especially designed for communication functions in railway traffic. As its well-established predecessor NB3710, the NB3711 Railway Routerprovides 5 robust M12 connectors and is certified according to railway standard EN50155 TX (-40 to +70°C) and fire safety standard CEN TS 45545.
