Renesashasintroduced the RX23T Group of MCUs, designed forbuilding inverter control systemsto enable precise control of inverter circuits, for applications such as DC motor control in energy-efficient electric home appliances, industrial machinery, and office equipment.MCU functions are optimised for inverter drive control, including an on-chip FPU that reduces code size and development time by 30%.

Most drones are, and will remain, electric, as detailed in the recently released IDTechEx report, “Electric Drones: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 2015-2025”. Cameras of an increasing variety of types will be in more and more drones and they will become more versatile, lighter weight, more robust and lower cost as they are used for many purposes beyond navigation and surveillance.

The popular term 'drones' gives a military connotation to the long-awaited, futuristic innovation that is Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). According to IDTechEx, most of today's market value lies in military applications, both for electric and - the big money - non-electric versions. Nonetheless, small UAVs are increasing in sales fastest, primarily due to non-military applications.

Bentley Systemshas acquired French company Acute3D, provider of Smart3DCapture software for reality modeling. Through reality modeling, observations of existing conditions are processed into representations for contextual alignment within design and construction modeling environments. Advancements in scanning and photography, especially the use of drones for these purposes, are making the capture of such observations broadly and continuously affo...

The London CW inaugural Technology & Engineering Conference (CW TEC), which takes place on 24th March 2015, will bring together engineers, financial analysts and executives from the wireless industry to discuss the future of the UK’s telecomms infrastructure and its impact on the value of licensed and unlicensed spectrum from VHF to KA band and beyond. This will span mobile, satellite, TV, IoT and wearable technology.

To provide secure, onboard WiFi technology for its ZANO nano drone, an aerial photography and HD video capture nano platform which allows users to capture and share photographs and video content instantly, Torquing Group has tapped Lantronix.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is launching a competition which challenges Britain’s best young engineers to design and build life-saving Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). The annual competition will be the fourth student engineering challenge event run by the Institution, joining Formula Student, the Railway Challenge and the Design Challenge.

Chris Anderson, CEO, 3D Robotics, gives a keynote about his journey from maker to mass, including drones, robotics, and 'the next industrial revolution'.

Rising as new sectors become substantial, IDTechEx forecast electric vehicle sales in 37 categories. Some, such as golf cars, are mature and will not experience further growth, while others (electric motorcycles and unmanned electric aircraft, for example) have substantial sales being generated by sale of the devices, sale of services around them and new technology for them.

The DLG (German Agricultural Society) Field Days 2014, held recently at the DLG Crop Protection Center at Bernberg-Strenzfeld, Germany, showcased many new innovations in crop production for the German and other European producers present.
