Programming competition ‘Make with Ada’ announce winners
The winners of AdaCore’s inaugural ‘Make with Ada’ programming competition for projects implemented on ARM Cortex M or R processors has been announced.Planned as an annual event, ‘Make with Ada’ aims to showcase Ada and SPARK as language technologies that can significantly improve code quality for modern embedded systems without requiring a steep learning curve for developers unfamiliar with these languages.
Nuclear batteries mean 'diamond-age' of power generation
Latest technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current.The development could solve some of the problems of nuclear waste, clean electricity generation and battery life.
Cost optimised portfolio targets vision and IIoT
Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush talks to Steve Glaser, SVP Corporate Strategy & Marketing at Xilinx about the most recent changes at the company that have brought about its latest product offering.
Silicon Valley: Doctor Heal Thyself
Silicon Valley in California spawns the awesome giants that hold the future in their hands but they cannot solve their traffic problem. Airbus Helicopters from Europe has the Vahana project, creating an autonomous flying vehicle platform for individual passenger and cargo transport, mimicking car sharing, with flight tests in 2017. Reliable sense-and-avoid technology is still needed. Airbus predicts global demand of millions, meaning low costs. ...
Technologies for smart industry at electronica
The power of technology to make manufacturing, driving and devices smarter and securely connected will be demonstrated bySTMicroelectronicsat electronica 2016 in Munich (8th to 11th November, hall A5 booth 207).
Networking platform for science at HANNOVER MESSE
Cyber-physical systems, a wearable robotic cameraman outfitted with artificial intelligence and the smallest, lightest hydroelectric power plant in the world are just a few examples of the concepts that visitors discovered in the Research and Technology sector at HANNOVER MESSE 2016.
Drone-based inspection software can access confined spaces
A partnership has been set up between Sky-Futures and Flyability to bring to market a fully integrated solution for drone-based industrial inspection. The Flyability Elios is a collision-tolerant drone allowing access to complex and confined spaces where manned entry is not possible or desirable.
How to 'techify' your Halloween
Gone are the days when a simple white sheet would suffice as a Halloween costume, in today’s modern world technology is rapidly becoming the way forward to achieve a sure-fire scare. Fear not, we have found some of the best options for tonight.
Intel SoC FPGA-based open-source drone platform and sensing modules
This demo showcases the Aerotenna μ series microwave radars based on Intel Altera SoC technology, the first radars for commercial and consumer drones to utilise microwave sensing, which was previously used only on military UAVs. μLanding is the first and most compact microwave altimeter for drones and small UAVs, while μSharp is the first 360° active sense-and-avoid radar for drones and small UAVs.
Drones and insect biobots map disaster areas
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a combination of software and hardware that will allow them to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and insect cyborgs, or biobots, to map large, unfamiliar areas – such as collapsed buildings after a disaster.
