Six-axis robot turns 3D printing into an art form
There is a current project underway at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) which is looking at 3D printing from a totally different angle - where the emphasis is placed on meaningful expression, rather than the accurate reproduction of digital data, and at the centre of the project lies a flexible Mitsubishi Electric MELFA RV-7FLM articulated arm industrial robot.
Pack it in! Memory packaging market growing steadily
The total memory market is expected to increase at a nine percent CAGR 2016-2022, reaching about $135bn by 2022, with DRAM and NAND constituting almost 95% market share. Moreover, a supply-demand mismatch is pushing memory device ASP, resulting in big memory IDMs reaping record profits. According to Yole Développement (Yole), the total 2016 memory packaging market is estimated at about $20bn with a 4.6% CAGR until 2022. Therefore, memory d...
Will the digital future be a let down?
While we have been promised flying cars, living buildings and holographic displays, we may have to be content with 140 characters, Siri and Alexa for some time to come, suggests futurologist Professor William Webb in his latest book, ‘Our Digital Future’.
Cyber-secure USB key protects critical data
The EVIKEY ONE NFC cyber-secure contactless USB key has been added to the RSPro range at RS Components. The USB Flash-drives deliver a high level of security for important data by enabling users to lock and unlock the drive using their smartphone essentially as an electronic key.
Secure MCU boosts protection for connected devices
Global semiconductor company and supplier of Arm-based microcontrollers (MCU) used in IoT devices,STMicroelectronics, has welcomed Platform Security Architecture (PSA) from Arm as a major enabler for ubiquitous cyber security. ST's STM32H7 high-performing MCUs are designed with the same security concepts as the PSA framework and combine these principles with STM32-family enhanced security features and services.
Bringing autonomous-driving vehicles to market faster
Renesas Electronics has announced that its automotive technologies will drive Toyota Motor Corporation’s autonomous vehicles, which are presently under development and scheduled for commercial launch in 2020. Selected by Toyota and Denso Corporation, Renesas’ autonomous-driving vehicle solution for Toyota’s autonomous vehicles combines the R-Car SoC, which serves as an electronic brain for in-vehicle infotainment and ADAS, and t...
This Halloween you should be afraid - be very afraid!
Forget vampires, ghouls and monsters under the bed. What’s really scary is the pace of technology hurtling towards us at 1,000mph.This Halloween, we have enough scary things to occupy us, without adding to the terror with fake blood and glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth. For a start we are on the way to cars that drive themselves as if handled by an invisible man. Not to mention, flyingmonkeysrobots and windows that suck solar energy with the ...
R-Car D3 SoC expands 3D graphics cluster market
Renesas Electronics has announced its high-performance R-Car D3 automotive infotainment system SoC, designed to expand the use of 3D graphics instrument clusters (3D clusters) that support 3D graphics displays in entry-class cars. The R-Car D3 achieves both high-performance graphic capabilities and contributes to significant reduction in overall system development cost.
Automotive stereo vision sensor improves vehicle safety
Cypress Semiconductor has announced that automotive supplier DENSO has selected Cypress’ 6-Channel Automotive PMIC and FL-S Serial NOR Flash memory solution to enable the latest stereo vision sensor for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The DENSO stereo vision sensor uses image processing techniques to detect obstacles of different shapes and lane lines, as well as empty spaces on the road.
Sensor Intelligence helps manage Smart Factories of the future
With Industry 4.0 on our door step and smart factories predicted to be the next big thing, SICK has got its head screwed on and is concentrating on intelligent and communicative sensors and sensor solutions for use in smart factories at this year’s SPS Drives show in Nuremberg.With years of experience under its belt, combined with intensive research and development work, SICK has a range of products and solutions that help to lay the founda...
