Solid growth continues in the electronic components markets
Sales revenues across electronic component markets in the UK, Europe and most international countries are continuing to demonstrate solid growth. Economists are putting the current situation down to 'all boats rising with the tide' brought about by the exponential pervasiveness of tech-based goods in our daily lives. In this article Adam Fletcher, Chairman of the ecsn provides an insight into the sector’s latest economic data and advises or...
The first in a new breed of neural network acceleration SoCs
BrainChip Holdings has brought spiking neural network architecture – the AkidaNeuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC) – to market.This architecture helps the acceleration of AI at the edge and the enterprise. The Akida NSoC is small, low cost and low power, making it well suited for edge applications such as ADAS, autonomous vehicles, drones, vision-guided robotics, surveillance and machine vision systems.

Car safety features that saved lives... and those that didn't!
When you jump in your car to go to work, pop to the shops or pick up the kids from school, how much attention do you pay to the various car safety features designed to keep danger from harming you and others?
EMF solutions offer reliable safety measurements
Two powerful measuring equipment packages for reliable safety measurements in electromagnetic fields (EMF) that are really special in many respects have ben introduced by Narda Safety Test Solutions. One is targeted specifically at environmental protection and the other for health and safety at work. Both utilise the practical advantages of the highest technological standards.
Customers prefer better-trained store staff than robots
Research among 1,000 UK customers by Hughes shows that despite all the headlines about cute robots such as Softbank’s Pepper, the technology is not in fact high on the list of expectations.Only four percent of customers expect to see such technology in stores within 12 months and of those who have used or experienced it, almost seven-in-ten (69%) said it had been a below-par experience.

The latest prototypes for animal-friendly machines
Semi-autonomous and autonomous machines and robots can become moral machines using annotated decision trees containing ethical assumptions or justifications for interactions with animals.Machine ethics is a young, dynamic discipline, which primarily targets people, not animals. However, it is important that animals are kept from harm when encountering these machines since animals cannot make informed decisions or react as humans would.
When will 5G deliver what we were sold?
5G buzzis peaking. Mobile operators are announcing network launches, many of them later this year. Amid all the 5G hype, it is easy to forget the original 5G promise. Kimmo Aura, Program Director, Business Finland, Connectivity from Finland’s telecom acceleration program takes a step back to shed light on the promised end-to-end quality of experience and network slicing, now forgotten in the 5G rush.
Could AI robots develop prejudice on their own?
Showing prejudice towards others does not require a high level of cognitive ability and could easily be exhibited by artificially intelligent machines, new research has suggested.Computer science and psychology experts from Cardiff University and MIT have shown that groups of autonomous machines could demonstrate prejudice by simply identifying, copying and learning this behaviour from one another.
IoT-dedicated core and operating system unveiled
A global relationship to build a distributed and virtualised core network dedicated specifically to IoT (Internet of Things), in addition to an IoT operating system, has been announced by Sprint and Ericsson. This new environment, purpose-built for the future of IoT, is designed to create an optimal flow of device data, enabling immediate, actionable intelligence at the network edge for end users and enterprises.
