Component obsolescence in focus at Amsterdam conference
The second annual Future of Obsolescence Management (FOM) conference organised by Converge, an Arrow Electronics company will be held in Amsterdam (Sept 13-14). The conference provides a 360° overview of how obsolescence affects the electronics industry and clarifies the needs of the different types of companies involved in it.
Kirigami creates shape-changing metamaterial
Engineers from the University of Bristol have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial using Kirigami, which is the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to obtain 3D shapes.Metamaterials are a class of material engineered to produce properties that don't occur naturally. Currently metamaterials are used to make artificial electromagnetic and vibration absorbers and high-performance sensors.
Instruction set architecture to become standard open architecture
Microsemi Corporation has announced it is sponsoring a series of tutorials at the RISC-V Workshop on embedding RISC-V on the Arrow Electronics-built SF2+ Development Kit, featuring Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA, Microsemi’s Timberwolf audio processor and Microsemi’s LX series power devices.
Wireless IoT connectivity: making sense of the protocols
Organisations designing devices and systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) today have many choices over the wireless protocols they will use to facilitate communication with the cloud. Simon Duggleby, Product Marketing Manager, Electronics Division, RS Components explains.
Imaging method reveals nanoscale details about DNA
Researchers have developed a enhanced DNA imaging technique that can probe the structure of individual DNA strands at the nanoscale. Since DNA is at the root of many disease processes, the technique could help scientists gain important insights into what goes wrong when DNA becomes damaged or when other cellular processes affect gene expression. The imaging method builds on a technique called single-molecule microscopy by adding information about...
Signal Chain and PowerManagement discussed at free seminar
A free Seminar on Signal Chain and Power management is to be hosted by Linear Technology and Arrow. Kris Lokere and Simon Bramble from LTC, will dive deep into the technology of Signal Chain and Power Management, and Gary Church from Arrow will demonstrate LTC’s power supply design tool.
Laser diode driver is suited for automotive HUDs
Projecting full-HD colour video onto the windshield at nearly twice the current of competitive solutions, the ISL78365 laser diode driver has been announced by Intersil. The ISL78365 pulses four high intensity lasers up to 750mA for automotive HUD systems. The device’s higher current and faster switching speed enables HUDs with high resolution, high colour-depth and high frame-rate projections.
Former F1 Chief Engineer appointed IMechE President
Jon Hilton CEng FIMechE from Northamptonshire has become the 131st President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He commented: “I am delighted to be taking on this role and in my year as President I want to concentrate on developing professional engineers, as well as encouraging those who have already chosen engineering as a career to make the most of their choice.
Technical & business performance leads to twin honours
Arrow Electronics emerged from Kontron’s Global Partner Event, held during March in Augsburg, Germany, with two awards in recognition of its technical and business performance. The first award was ‘Best Global COM System Integrator’, which was accepted by Arrow’s OEM Computer Solutions (OCS) team in Israel.
Development platform speeds IoT design time to market
ARIS, a ready-to-use Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and software platform that enables users to get their IoT applications up and running quickly with the Renesas Synergy development framework has been launched by Arrow Electronics. Arrow developed the ARIS board in conjunction with the Italian design house Reloc.
