Why product design matters for crowdfunding and beyond
Heather Corcoran leads outreach for Kickstarter in the UK and Europe, with a focus on the design and technology communities. Based in London, she works closely with innovators, creators and makers who use Kickstarter to bring new products to life. At May’s Hardware Pioneers event in London she offered some tips for designers looking for crowdfunding.
Universal portable gas detector has maximum versatility
A versatile new reusable single gas monitor has been introduced by Scott Safety, the Protégé SG, which is configurable to detect 13 different gases. The Protégé SG is a truly universal portable gas detector with advanced features, such as smart plug and play sensors and a replaceable lithium battery that provides unlimited life.
Massively parallel verification system reduces DRC signoff
A massively parallel, cloud-ready physical verification signoff solution has been announced byCadence Design Systems. ThePegasus Verification System enables engineers to deliver advanced-node ICs to market faster. The new solution is part of the full-flow Cadence digital design and signoff suite and provides up to ten times faster Design Rule Check (DRC) performance on hundreds of CPUs while also reducing turnaround time from days to hours versus...
LCD curved display offers height adjustability
The technology company and brand license partner for Philips monitors, MMD, has enriched its growing line-up of curved displays with a new addition: along with its 1800R curvature for an immersive viewing experience, the new 34" 349X7FJEW display is designed in an UltraWide 21:9 format, giving users plenty of room to multitask. The CrystalClear Quad HD resolution ensures total clarity of reproduction with fine detail, which is particularly benefi...
How rapidly can HF radio be deployed for disaster recovery?
When natural disasters knock out crucial communications infrastructure, High Frequency (HF) radio works as an effective fallback solution. By getting the right equipment into place, response teams can establish secure channels for transmitting voice, text and data in and out of a disaster zone.
Reference design for drone motor controller
The ability to quickly change the speed and rotational direction of its motors is the key to a drone’s performance, which makes the ESC (Electronic Speed Control) module a very important subsystem. Faster motor speed changes also make for greater stability, which saves energy thereby enabling longer flight times.
IT: The gatekeeper of your IoT deployment
When an IoT project is being carried out, in the early days most of the team is focused on figuring out what data they want to collect and overcoming the constant stream of technical challenges. Guest blog by Tom Gibbings.
Bringing justice to the wild, wild IoT
The phrase vigilante justice immediately conjures up images of classic westerns, where screen legends such as Clint Eastwood and John Wayne rode across the plains to make sure some ne’er-do-well bandits or cattle rustlers got their comeuppance and brought peace to the wild, wild west.
Cash for innovation: how much could you claim?
The government’s R&D tax relief legislation entitles UK companies to claim back money invested in research, development and innovation. However, most companies that are eligible are still missing out, as they are simply unaware that it exists. Electronic Specifier speaks to Sue Nelson, CEO of Breakthrough Funding and Kent Business Woman of the Year, to find out more.
