For millennia human interaction with the world’s oceans has been one of great contrast. You have on one hand, the relationship has been built on reliance, with great dependence placed on these waters for food and commerce. However, on the other, interaction has been defined by mystery and intrigue, with as much as 95% of the world's oceans and 99% of the ocean floor remaining unexplored according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admi...

Vicor has announced a bidirectional non-isolated fixed-ratio converter for hybrid 48V/12V power systems in data centre and automotive applications.The 2317 NBM is a bidirectional converter capable of providing up to 750W continuously at 48V from 12V, or at 12V from 48V, with over 98% peak efficiency. With up to 1kW of peak power capability (for up to 2ms) in a 23 x 17 x 7mm surface-mount package, the NBM provides a solution with no external circu...

Under the banner "Driving tomorrow's mobility", Rohde & Schwarz will present its wide-ranging portfolio of automotive T&M equipment at Automotive Testing Expo Europe (ATE 2018) in Stuttgart (June 5-7). The focus will be on applications in the areas of radar, V2X communications, eCall and automotive Ethernet for development, qualification and production.

As we continue towards a more connected and autonomous future, designing a car is increasingly about creating quality experiences; and software is at the centre of enabling that reality.Driven by intelligent software, these experiences must make going from point A to point B safe, secure, efficient, entertaining and convenient, and ultimately, autonomously.The current acceleration of new technologies is leading to unprecedented changes for the au...

The line between what is considered technology for telecommunications vs industrial control and other operations technology applications is becoming blurry.Software is being used in more instances across more industries because it provides a level of flexibility and cost savings like we’ve never seen before. Guest blog written byJeff Gowan.

Protecting cars against cyber attacks is becoming increasingly important as more and more electronics are used to steer, accelerate and brake cars. That is why 15 partners from industry and academia will work together over the next three years on new approaches to IT security in self-driving cars.

Though consumer-level drones have received a lot of bad press in recent times - near misses with aircraft, incidents where members of the public have been injured and flying contraband into prisons - within the defence sector, the high end versions of this technology has the potential to save lives. By Giorgio Potenza, Strategic Market Manager for High-Rel Systems, Harwin.

Whether it involves an operator checking quality on an iPad or executives comparing multisite production, mobile and cloud connectivity are the new normal in industrial operations. However, cyber attacks can take advantage of these new connections to steal product recipes or take control of a site.

In the field of self-driving cars, algorithms for controlling lane changes are an important topic of study. But most existing lane-change algorithms have one of two drawbacks: Either they rely on detailed statistical models of the driving environment, which are difficult to assemble and too complex to analyse on the fly; or they’re so simple that they can lead to impractically conservative decisions, such as never changing lanes at all.

Teradyneand the shareholders of Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) have announced the acquisition of privately held MiR of Odense, Denmark for €121m ($148m) net of cash acquired plus €101m ($124m at current exchange rate) if certain performance targets are met extending through 2020.
