Chip scale atomic clock for space
The SA.45s Commercial Space Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) has been announced by Microsemi Corporation, a commercially available radiation-tolerant CSAC. Suited for low Earth orbit (LEO) applications, the device provides the accuracy and stability of atomic clock technology while achieving reduced size, weight and power (SWaP) consumption.
VR exhibit enables the blind to 'see' masterpieces
'Do NOT touch'. It’s the first rule that we encounter when we enter to any museum. That’s a reasonable rule, as the pieces can be studied and contemplated with just our eyes and touching them can cause damage in the long term.But not all of us can use their eyes to appreciate art, and touching is their only way to examine these pieces of art.
Successful Conclusion of the SENSOR+TEST 2018

Smart plastics increase safety and cut maintenance costs
igus has been developing the family of smart plastics with improved ‘isense’ sensors and monitoring modules since the launch back in 2016. These add intelligence to energy chains, cables, linear guides and slewing ring bearings, and measure, among other things, wear status and alert the user early enough to plan repair or replacement.
Highly integrated PMICs optimised for processors
ROHM has announced the availability of a programmable system power management IC (PMIC) optimised for NXP’s i.MX 8M family of applications processors that excels in processing audio, video, and graphics in a wide range of applications, from home audio/video to industrial automation and mobile computing. The BD71837MWV integrates all power rails required by i.MX 8M processors and system peripherals.
SiC MOSFET and schottky barrier diode portfolio expanded
Microsemi has announced it will be expanding its Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET and SiC diode product portfolios early next quarter, including samples of its next-gen 1,200V, 25 and 80Ω SiC MOSFET devices; next-gen 700V, 50A Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) and corresponding die. These SiC solutions, along with other recently announced devices in the SiC SBD/MOSFET product families, will be demonstrated 5th-7th Junein hall 6, booth 318 at PCIM Eu...
Give me five?
Speed dating, is it the worst idea ever or the best? That depends sat in a room full of potential partners that don’t look promising – worst idea ever. Sat in a room with ten technology pioneers and companies that only have five minutes to tell you about their latest innovations and solutions – ingenious.That is exactly what Anna Flockett from Engineering Specifier experienced last week, and here is what she found out:
Easy part identification with integrated QR-codes
Plastic energy chain specialist igus is now integrating QR-codes onto its e-chain systems to make original part identification easy. All you need to do is simply locate the code, scan it with a QR-reader app and it directs users to the online portal that provides all the information you could possibly need including be able to reorder the parts with just one click.
