How will artificial intelligence influence the automotive industry?
Artificial intelligence and data science are two key technologies that form the processes of the automotive industry. In this article, Joseph Zulick, Manager at MRO Electric and Supply, explores how artificial intelligence is projected to influence the industry in the future.
Two component epoxy with thermal shock resistance
Master Bond EP110F8-3 is a two part epoxy system ideal for sealing, encapsulating, potting, and casting applications. “This toughened system provides very good flexibility and possesses a relatively high elongation of 120-150%”, said Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer. “It offers a low tensile modulus of around 5,000-15,000 psi and a shore A hardness of 40-50 at room temperature."
AI is fighting back in the battle against cancer
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had its fair share of negative media coverage in recent months. As the technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and moves more to the fore in our daily lives, so the doomsayers have turned up the volume when warning of the dangers of machine intelligence.
The next generation of working class heroes?
Yesterday, Electronic Specifier's editor Enaie Azambuja attended the event 'Redefining Consumer Goods Industry with Artificial Intelligence (AI)and Machine Learning', organised by Women of Wearables. The panel consisted of the industry’s brightest researchers and innovators at present: Hadeel Ayoub, founder of startup BrightSign; Maria McKavanagh, Chief Operating Officer of Verv; Cosmin Stamate, CTO at Xsure; Sharifah Amirah, Intent HQ; and...
Pushing the frontiers of knowledge at the SpaceX Hyperloop competition
Panasonic Industry has announced its sponsorship of the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University in Munich (TUM) which is taking part in the third annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition this summer. The Hyperloop is a new transportation concept for a high speed train to travel in a near-vacuum tube. The vacuum-tube allows the capsule to travel at supersonic speed - faster than any commercial train or car in the foreseeable future.
In-mould electronics become commercial once again
Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology, this characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades, as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (IME) started to emerge, this frontieris once again becoming commercial. Author: Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Director, IDTechEx...
Magnetic 3D-printed structures crawl, roll and jump
MIT engineers have created soft, 3D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like marionettes without the strings.The menagerie of structures that can be magnetically manipulated includes a smooth ring that wrinkles up, a long tube that squeezes shut, a sheet that folds itself, and a spider-like 'grabber' that can crawl, roll, jump, and snap together fast enough to catch a passing ball. It can even be dir...
SpaceX competition: Hyperloop capsule enters second final round
With their Swissloop concept,ETH Zurich students have won the SpaceX competition of US entrepreneur Elon Musk against thousands of other teams. Now, in the summer of 2018, the Swiss will once again be able to prove themselves in the next round with their enhanced capsule. The Swissloop project is supported by Leybold. The vacuum pioneer has been promoting the Hyperloop projects of the technology revolutionary since 2015 with its vacuum know-how.
Introducing edge services without ripping up your core network
Within the world of telecom, true ‘green field’ opportunities do not arise very often. When Elon Musk fires up a few Falcon Heavies and puts a thousand people on Mars who can’t live without Facebook, that will represent a green field (or orange field) opportunity for an enterprising service provider. Until then, most operators who roll out new services face the challenge of implementing them on top of existing networks. Guest b...
Tech pioneer or closet bond villain?
For many, the jury seems to still be out on Elon Musk. Is the larger than life billionaire technocrat really as good as his current CV? Well, he’s the Co-founder of PayPal, Creator of the Tesla car company and, most recently, the man who looks to have put new life into the quest for space exploration and maybe travel.
