Whether it’s used as an initial introduction into embedded development, the main controller of a connected application or as an attach component to offload tasks from a larger system, the role of the 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) continues to expand.

In the new version of its CANape measurement and calibration tool, Vector integrates many new functions. In this way, calibration engineers can simplify their work and interactions with their ECUs. The storage of configuration files in containers accelerates important project transfer operations. Improvements have also been made in the field of ADAS development, in particular for the visualisation of LIDAR sensor data.

National Instruments (NI) has honoured the 'ADAS iiT Consortium - Innovation in Test' with its 2018 Technical Innovation Award. The prize is awarded to partner companies who employ new NI technologies at an early stage, thereby reflecting their roles as early adopters who promote innovation in particular.

Several new features have been developed forKurtz Ersa North America's selective solder equipment, including VERSASCAN, VERSAEYE and Ersa CAD Assistant 4. The VERSASCAN module can look at boards being presented to the machine and confirm if all of the components are on the board and if the polarity is correct before they enter the machine.

Two families of wide-VINsynchronous DC/DC buck regulators with ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) and thermal performance have been announced by Texas Instruments.The highly integrated 5A and 6A LM73605/6 and 2.5A and 3.5A LM76002/3 step-down voltage converters feature an optimised pinout and thermal co-efficient to simplify the process of achieving EMI compliance and higher reliability for rugged industrial and automotive power supplies.

The digital integration of industry, energy and logistics is gathering pace, with traditional boundaries between industries breaking down, productivity rising and new business models popping up like mushrooms. In April 2018, HANNOVER MESSE and CeMAT will lend their combined weight to this trend and take Industry 4.0 to the next level. Together they will open a window on a future in which digitised production, integrated energy systems and intelli...

Scientists are exploiting the unique properties of bacteria to help develop a self-healing system for buildings and historic structures. Based at Cardiff University, the team have set out to produce a system that can be simply applied to building stone and masonry to give it self-healing properties.Once applied, the team state that any sort of damage to the stone will trigger the release of bacteria and a range of ‘helper’ chemicals, ...

Luxoft Holding Inc. has announced that it will exhibit its entire suite of automotive technology services at Embedded World 2018 (Hall 4, Stand 4-371) in Nürnberg, Germany.

The Bremen Institute for Production und Logistics at the University of Bremen (BIBA), in collaboration with its development partners BLG Handelslogistik, Schulz Systemtechnik, and FRAMOS, is conducting research on the automated unloading of standard 40ft containers, with the project, 'Interactive Robotic System for Unloading of Sea Containers' (IRiS).

On Tuesday 6thFebruary at 3:45pm the world’s most powerful new space rocket took to the skies. Designed by SpaceX, CEO Elon Musk claims this could mark the end of the commercial spaceflight race. Is this true or is it simply the beginning?Named Falcon Heavy, the rocket flawlessly ascended from Florida into the heavens and is now in an orbit that stretches into the asteroid belt.
