Compact board offers wide array of connectivity options
Solid State Supplies now stocks the RICO-3288 Pico-ITX fan-less board from Aaeon, which is based on the Android operating system. Central to the board’s elevated levels of performance is the 32-bit Rockchip RK3288 ARM Cortex-A17 quad-core processor which proves efficient at multi-tasking when compared to dual-core devices. Running at up to 1.6GHz, this IC has advanced graphics processing and video decode functionality (supporting 60fps 2160...
Liquid sensor devices protect Telecom equipment
With a large proportion of telecom infrastructure being located outdoors, it will regularly be exposed to adverse weather conditions. The threat of rainwater ingress is something that telecom companies need to safeguard against, as the damage that ensues can have dire consequences - resulting in prolonged service interruptions and costly repair work. Carrying out systematic inspections can often be difficult, due to the large human resources need...
Three SBCs added to motherboard range
An extensive product portfolio of SBCs for embedded applications is on offer by BVM, with motherboards conforming to all standard sizes offering a range of computing power, power consumption, graphics performance, I/O capability, expansion options and price points. The latest additions are an initial selection of new boards in three form factors from Jetway.The NP59 is a Pico-ITX (100x72mm) based on the Intel Braswell N3160 clocked at 2.24GHz wit...
New scope offers four true differential channels
The PicoScope 4444 high-resolution differential oscilloscope is launched today (March 13) by Pico Technology. This instrument features four true differential input channels and a range of accessories for measurements from millivolt to 1000 V CAT III applications. This new PicoScope addresses the perennial problem of making accurate voltage waveform measurements on circuit elements that are not ground-referenced, without the risk of short circuits...
Camera films at a rate of five trillion images per second
Forget high-speed cameras capturing 100 000 images per second. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a camera that can film at a rate equivalent to five trillion images per second, or events as short as 0.2 trillionths of a second. This is faster than has previously been possible.The new super-fast film camera will therefore be able to capture incredibly rapid processes in chemistry, physics, biology and biomedicine, that so...
Unveiling assessment of risks and rewards before acting
When animals hunt or forage for food, they must constantly weigh whether the chance of a meal is worth the risk of being spotted by a predator. The same conflict between cost and benefit is at the heart of many of the decisions humans make on a daily basis.The ability to instantly consider contradictory information from the environment and decide how to act is essential for survival. It’s also a key feature of mental health.
Order process simplified for industrial lasers
The trend in industry towards greater automation and digitalisation is ever thriving with the aim of simplifying processes. With this in mind, Conrad Business Supplies now offers a large range of industrial lasers from Picotronic. Through the new parametric laser finder search the right laser can be easily found and ordered online.
Buffered 18-bit octal ADC shrinks solution size
Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, announces the LTC2358-18, an 18-bit, 8-channel simultaneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR) ADC featuring integrated picoamp input buffers. With board real estate at a premium, the LTC2358-18 brings substantial space and cost savings by eliminating front end signal conditioning circuitry normally required to drive unbuffered switched-capacitor ADC inputs.
USB oscilloscope offers four differential input channels
The PicoScope 4444 High-resolution Differential Oscilloscope from Pico Technology which features four true differential input channels and a range of accessories for measurements from millivolt to 1000 V CAT III applications is available at Saelig. It has been designed specifically for making accurate voltage waveform measurements on circuits that are not ground-referenced, avoiding the dangers of equipment damage due to short circuits.
Brain circuit necessary for memory formation identified
When we visit a friend or go to the beach, our brain stores a short-term memory of the experience in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. Those memories are later “consolidated” — that is, transferred to another part of the brain for longer-term storage.A MIT study of the neural circuits that underlie this process reveals, for the first time, that memories are actually formed simultaneously in the hippocampus and the long...
