An introduction to wireless charging
Battery charging without cables can add convenience, durability and safety to a number of different applications.For example, smartphone charging on the go, such as in public places, or home charging stations that don’t require that search for the correct charging cable.
There's something fishy about this
A fish factory in Russia was worried about ensuring its latest catch would be frozen quickly enough for export to diners globally. Therefore, it turned to Fairford Electronics and its proven soft starter technology.Russia, which is the fourth largest producer of frozen fish in the world, has an expanding network of factories in the St Petersburg area to service growing global demand.
Digitalisation needs to be tackled for survival of industries
The urgent need for a new industrial paradigm to be created in Sweden is shown where not only environmental sustainability is safeguarded, but also new business models that secure long-term competitiveness.That is one of the key findings in the outlook report ‘The road ahead for Scandinavian industry’, published by Tieto and KTH.
Company uses Intel's FPGAs to improve video quality
The need to connect anywhere and anyplace is being driven by mobile workers. Soon they’ll do so over high-quality 4K and, shortly following, 8K connections. To support this change in work environments, business audio visual systems are becoming truly unified, connecting PCs, to video conferencing systems and projectors, to employee 'bring your own' personal electronics.
Being a successful engineer shouldn't be based on gender
It's no secret that there are far more men in engineering than women; however that does not mean that men are more successful.Philippa Oldham, Head of Transport and Manufacturing at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers is evidence of this.From a young age, the word engineering was always a buzzword in Philippa’s household, as both her great-grandfather and grandfather, who she unfortunately never got to meet, were both engineers, so her ...

Machine learning could improve suicide prediction
A groundbreaking project led by a Florida State University researcher makes an exponential advance in suicide prediction, potentially giving clinicians the ability to predict who will attempt suicide up to two years in advance with 80% accuracy.FSU Psychology researcher Jessica Ribeiro feels an urgency to confront this relentless problem. Shadowing her research is the ever-present awareness that 120 Americans take their lives every day, nearly 45...
Advancing standards in USB technology
Back in April 2014, at the Intel Developers Forum in Shenzhen, China, the USB Type-C connector made its debut. Now commercially available, the connector features a particularly significant technical advance – it’s vertically symmetrical so it doesn’t matter which way up you put the plug into the socket.
Snapscan: the first hyperspectral imaging camera
At this week’s SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, imec will introduce the snapscan camera: a proprietary breakthrough system concept platform that combines a good signal to noise ratio with spatial and spectral resolution advantages of linescan hyperspectral imaging technology and the ability to acquire data-sets as easily as with a snapshot camera.
Shaken, not stirred
When James Bond asks the barkeeper for a Martini, “shaken, not stirred”, he takes it for granted that the ingredients of the drink are miscible. In the quantum world, however, he might be in for a surprise! A team of physicists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) has now prepared a form of quantum matter that is robust to sh...
