High performance motor control IC series for major home appliances
Infineon Technologies AG is releasing the IMC100 series, a new family of iMOTION motor control ICs. It provides a ready-to-use solution for the fast growing market of high efficiency variable speed drives. By integrating both, the required hardware and control algorithm, the IMC100 enables the shortest time to market for any motor system at the lowest system and development cost.
Space forensics: signs of the first stars in the universe
Long ago, about 400,000 years after the beginning of the universe —the Big Bang — the universe was dark. There were no stars or galaxies, and the universe was filled primarily with neutral hydrogen gas.Then, for the next 50 million-100 million years, gravity slowly pulled the densest regions of gas together until they collapsed in some places to form the first stars.
Kirigami inspires better bandages
Scraped up knees and elbows are tricky places to securely apply a bandage. More often than not, the adhesive will peel away from the skin with just a few bends of the affected joint.Now MIT engineers have come up with a stickier solution, in the form of a thin, lightweight, rubber-like film. The adhesive film can stick to highly deformable regions of the body, such as the knee and elbow, and maintain its hold even after 100 bending cycles.
AI helps reconstruct mysteries of quantum systems
The same techniques used to train self-driving cars and chess-playing computers are now helping physicists explore the complexities of the quantum world.For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that machine learning can reconstruct a quantum system based on relatively few experimental measurements. This method will allow scientists to thoroughly probe systems of particles exponentially faster than conventional, brute-force techniques.
How biofuels from plant fibres could fight global warming
Scientists, companies and government agencies are hard at work on decreasing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. In recent years, biofuels produced from corn have emerged as a fuel source to power motor vehicles and, perhaps, airplanes.But corn is problematic as a biofuel source material. It’s resource-intensive to grow, creates many environmental impacts, and is more useful as food.
Beaming with the light of millions of suns
In the 1980s, researchers began discovering extremely bright sources of X-rays in the outer portions of galaxies, away from the supermassive black holes that dominate their centers. At first, the researchers thought these cosmic objects—called ultraluminous X-ray sources, or ULXs—were hefty black holes with more than 10 times the mass of the sun.
Optimising costs with multidisciplinary engineering collaboration
Within business, constant attention needs to be given to cost structures. Even companies with a good history of profit margins continually target areas where they can further streamline costs.The increasingly competitive marketplace, shrinking product development cycles, ongoing leaps in technology, changing taxation policies, and environmental sensitivities compel organisations to continually drive down their internal costs.
IoT deal increases productivity for renewable energy fleet
Invenergy and NarrativeWave have announced a three year agreement. Invenergy will use NarrativeWave’s software to optimise its fleet of wind turbines and other renewable energy assets.
Simplifying industrial-grade Linux designs
With a great deal of design effort and complexity associated with creating an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU)-based system running a Linuxoperating system, even developers with expertise in the area spend a lot of time on PCB layout to guarantee signal integrity for the high-speed interfaces to DDR memory and Ethernet Physical Layer (PHY) while complying with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards.
HD WiFi security cameras for home monitoring
Two new HD WiFi cameras that provide top quality professional home surveillance at an affordable price have been unveiled by D-Link. The DCS-8000LH Mini HD WiFi Camera and DCS-8100LH HD 180° WiFi Camera are compact cameras packed with extensive feature sets needed for effective home monitoring.
