When ultra-thin transparent varnishes are applied on to transparent foil tapes, defects in the coating can now be made visible immediately during the coating process. This is possible thanks to an inline detection system that uses fluorescence dyes which has been developed by three institutes from the Fraunhofer Polymer Surfaces Alliance POLO.

In the past, insoles for patients with diabetes were hand-made by orthopedic shoemakers. In the future, these specialist shoemakers will be able to produce insoles more cost-effectively thanks to new software and the use of 3D printers. This approach means the mechanical properties of each insole can be assessed scientifically and more effectively.Is your shoe too tight? Normally you would just shift your weight to take the pressure off the area ...

In today's fast-growing fan-out market showing an 80% increase between 2015 and 2017, it is essential to deeply understand the patent strategies of the key players. The Technology Intelligence and IP Strategy Company, KnowMade, has thoroughly investigated the fan-out packaging patent landscape and has released a patent landscape analysis entitledFan-Out Wafer Level Packaging.

At electronica 2016, Infineon Technologies AG presents semiconductor solutions for sustainable success in the IoT. Electronics from Infineon are part of our everyday lives already today and even more tomorrow. Sensors, microcontrollers, power semiconductors and security solutions are the building blocks to make connected devices and IoT systems smart, safe and energy-efficient. For example, around 80% of innovation in automotive applications is b...

This year’s micro photonics will see the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI presenting its latest solutions of photonic components. Fraunhofer HHI enables an own design of InP-based Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) containing passive and active devices on one substrate. It is possible to choose from a range of proven building blocks, such as 40GHz receivers, 20GHz transmitters, and 1dB/cm passive waveguides.

Transparent plastic optical lenses can be manufactured cheaply and in any shape. However, a downside is that they reflect light just as much as glass does. At the K trade fair in Düsseldorf, Fraunhofer researchers are exhibiting a new type of antireflective coating that significantly reduces stray light and reflections from plastic lenses. Not only does this improve the performance of cameras and headlights, it's also good news for virtual r...

"Great in Optics – Small in Size!" The growing core of the “PolyPhotonics” Innovation Initiative will take this motto to the global communications market. The project is part of the “Regional Enterprise Initiative” of the German Federal Ministry of Research. The consortium develops the value chain for the creation of a new technology platform. The Fraunho-fer Heinrich HertzInstitute HHI coordinates the project.

At this year’s COMPAMED trade fair, the sensor manufacturer Sensirion and the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Microsystems and Solid State Technologies (EMFT) will be presenting an innovative concept study in the field of medical technology. Fraunhofer EMFT’s silicon micropump has been combined with Sensirion’s LD20single-use liquid flow sensor as part of a joint project with the aim of developing a smart and cost-efficient ...

The SKW connector system uses less material, fewer interfaces and is more efficient. Würth Elektronik ICS is launching this pluggable connector for wire-to-board applications in SKEDD technology to the market which stands out by flexible usage options, simple operation and high performance.

Nestled in the Austrian Alps is a small village, a space that sits in the original 19th-century manufacturing compound of a decidedly old-school manufacturer. This is the Swarovski crystal company, who as a part of a project are trying to refashion, into a tech company.
