Whitepaper discusses both current and future IoT tech
The Internet of Things (IoT) significantly impacts the global economy and is expected to grow exponentially over the coming years, transforming society as a whole. In order to develop a smart and secure IoT platform, certain critical issues must be addressed in detail to ensure security, interoperability and scalability of the platform.
Copper Conductivity Materials database is free to access
As we all know, Copper has the highest conductivity of any non-precious metal and this, combined with its high ductility, good machinability, high strength, ease of jointing and good resistance to corrosion, makes copper the first choice as a conductor for electrical applications.
International project improves LED properties
Given the growing demands placed on the electrical, optical and thermal functionality of LEDs, engineers are paying more and more attention to the advancement of new material properties. As a result, the FLINGO project (Functional Inorganic Layers for Next Generation Optical Devices) was established to develop new materials (layers, in particular) and processes to improve the efficiency and durability of LEDs.
Product testing getting you down? There's a cobot for that
How do you make sure that a product can handle the wear and tear of an expected life cycle and that all safety and quality standards are met? You test it. Over and over again.Nothing is more repetitive than product testing – lending itself to one of the “3D jobs” that robots excel at: dirty, dangerous…and dull.Increasingly, collaborative robots – or cobots - are now being used for product testing.
World’s smallest speaker uses PCB technology
Graz-based start-up USound, in partnership with several Fraunhofer Institutes (IDMT, ISIT, IIS and IZM) and utilising PCB technology together with system integration expertise from AT&S, has developed what is not only the world’s smallest speaker, but also the first based on MEMS. The product is protected with numerous patents. MEMS are silicon chips or substrates with very small feature sizes, that have mechanical and electrical functi...
MEMS-based micro speaker uses PCB technology
In partnership with several Fraunhofer Institutes (IDMT, ISIT, IIS and IZM), USound has utilisedPCB technology with system integration expertise from AT&S to develop what it claims to be the world’s smallest speaker and also the first based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
Heavy-duty connectors withstand static and dynamic loads
A new range of modular heavy-duty connectors has been introduced byBosch Rexroth, bringing even greater flexibility to the use of machine frames made from aluminium strut profiles.Complementing Bosch Rexroth’s extensive existing line-up, the 180x180 dynamic load connectors have undergone extensive testing by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the safe absorption of both high static and dynamic loads.
Functional OLED electrodes are produced from graphene
For the first time, it has been possible to produce functional OLED electrodes from graphene. The process was developed by Fraunhofer researchers together with partners from industry and research. The OLEDs can, for example, be integrated into touch displays, and the miracle material graphene promises many other applications for the future.
