A fast measurement speed, achieved within tight cost and size constraints while integrating the primary conductor in SO packages without compromising the necessary insulation, is often as critical as the other high performances for current measurement in motor-drive applications. That is why LEM’s GO miniature transducers have been designed to achieve a 2µs response time from 2 standard, cost-effective SO8 or SO16 packages for nominal...

There is no doubting that robots are on the rise. And despite some naysayers claiming that automation will take jobs away from humans, all the evidence points to robotics improving productivity, cost effectiveness, safety and actually creating employment. By next year it is predicted that the number of industrial robots deployed worldwide will increase to around 2.6 million units.

From Texas Instruments, LAUNCHXL-F28379D is a low cost evaluation and development tool for the the Delfino F2837xD, F2837xS, and Piccolo F2807x series in the TI MCU LaunchPad ecosystem which is compatible with various plug-on BoosterPacks. This extended version of the LaunchPad supports the connection of two BoosterPacks.

Made by Sensor Technology, the TorqSense rotary torque sensors are unlike the traditional slip ring transducers. To start wit they use a simple non-contact radio link for collecting real-time torque signals, letting machine builders and control engineers can do away with expensive and temperamental slip ring, therefore simply mounting the sensors and checking the radio connection is all that is required to set up a TorqSense.

Saietta Group, a UK based research and development company which designs motors for lightweight electric vehicle (EV) propulsion has been working with Sensor Technology. The company’s latest innovation is the ‘S-AC’ which is an ultra-efficient brushless axial-flux AC motor. It boasts extreme efficiency levels at high torques from low speed onwards.

Living with chronic neuropathic pain as a result of an accident or ageing that includes nerve damage can become a constant battle in our daily lives. Modern solutions include the installation of electrical signal pain modulations that help mask some of the pain signals.

California and Europe are pumping millions into development of electricity-generating roads using piezoelectrics. Piezos will also be useful in self-powered IoT nodes because no one will change or even charge millions of batteries for those nodes let alone the envisaged billions. Without self-powered nodes, the IoT will be nothing more than a footnote in history.

This reference design from Texas Instruments helps designers develop an ultrasonic water-metering subsystem using an integrated, ultrasonic sensing solution (USS) module, which provides superior metrology performance with low-power consumption and maximum integration.

In Japan at the imec technology forum (ITF Japan 2018), imec, the research and innovation, the Ghent University (UGent), and contact lens manufacturer SEED, announced that they have developed a contact lens with an integrated LED light, including an ultra-thin silicon microchip, radio‐frequency (RF) antenna for wireless energy transfer, and stretchable thin‐film interconnections.
