Helping a helicopter services company to pluck trees from forests where there is no access by tractor, the innovative wireless load sensing and monitoring technology from Sensor Technology plays a key role.Based in Oxford, Heli-Lift Services provides a helicopter-based extraction service in forests where the ground is wet or boggy, or in environmentally sensitive expanses and areas of special interest, ensuring minimal disruption to the environme...

Leti has announced that its embedded sensor fusion solution, SigmaFusion, has been embedded in Infineon Technologies’ AURIXTC29x platform. This platform enables automotive developers to control powertrain, body, safety and ADAS applications with one single microcontroller family.

Did you know there are over five trillion pieces of plastic littering our ocean right now?Eventually that rubbish accumulates together in five ocean garbage patches, with the Pacific being home to the largest one, located between Hawaii and California; called the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch.’ If nothing was done about this patch and it was left to circulate the plastic would impact our ecosystems to a level which could damage health ...

MEMS Gyro sensors and GYPRO evaluation boards from Tronics are available worldwide from Digi-Key Electronics, as the result of a new distribution agreement between the two companies. Tronics’ products are ideal for applications that require precise measurement such as precision instrumentation, platform stabilisation, guidance and navigation control, auto-pilot, inertial measurement unit (IMU), attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), ...

According to a recent report from the Department for Transport, heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic is 7.5%higher so far in 2017 than it was four years ago, making it the second fastest growing traffic type in this period. With more large vehicles on our roads, safety, efficiency and driving conditions need to be considered as a priority by fleet managers.

A highly-scalable 64-bit MIPS multiprocessing solution has been announced by Imagination Technologies that has been stringently assessed and validated to meet functional safety (FuSa) compliance for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards. This makes it suitable for handling the compute-intensive tasks in emerging safety-critical systems such as autonomous vehicles, industrial IoT and robotics.

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara professor Yasamin Mostofi's lab have given the first demonstration of three-dimensional imaging of objects through walls using ordinary wireless signal. The technique, which involves two drones working in tandem, could have a variety of applications, such as emergency search-and-rescue, archaeological discovery and structural monitoring.

Mentor has further expanded its Mentor Safe functional safety assurance programme by qualifying the ISO 26262 compliance of documentation for its Oasys-RTL Physical RTL Synthesis, Nitro-SoC Place and Route, and FormalPro Logic Equivalency Checker products.

The biggest change in cars for one hundred years is now starting. It is driven by totally new requirements and capabilities. They will cause huge new businesses to appear but some giants currently making cars and their parts will spectacularly go bankrupt. Cities will ban private cars but encourage cars as autonomous taxis and rental vehicles. Already 65% of cars in China are bought by businesses. Electric car technology and forecasts 2017-2027 ...

Most of us are aware of LTE as the technology that lets us watch our videos on our phone, but the truth is, there’s much more to it than that.While high speed smartphone connectivity is how most of us know LTE today, it isn’t just about higher speeds and video streaming.
