Lime Microsystems announces LimeNET crowdfunding
Lime Microsystems and Canonical have today announced the upcoming launch of the second round of crowdfunding for LimeSDR the flexible, next-generation, open source Software Defined Radio. The new campaign called LimeNET is intended for use primarily as a mobile and IoT base station. LimeNET base stations hold the potential to completely transform the way telco networks run by shifting the emphasis and value away from proprietary hardware to open ...
FPGA features low power estimator
The availability of Microsemi's cost-optimised PolarFire Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) product family has been announced. It delivers low power at mid-range densities with 12.7Gbps Serialiser/Deserialiser (SerDes) transceivers as well as security and reliability.
ABB enables power flow from solar park in Dubai
ABB has energised a major substation that will help evacuate power from the Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MBR) Solar Park, a key element of the vision to generate 7%of Dubai’s power from clean energy sources by 2020; 25%by 2030, and 75%by 2050.The 400/132 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) substation has been built for Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), the UAE’s leading power utility, to connect the second phase of the M...
Researcher develops eco-friendly concrete
In the future, wide-ranging composite materials are expected to be stronger, lighter, cheaper and greener for our planet, thanks to an invention by Rutgers' Richard E. Riman.Nine years ago, Riman, a distinguished professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering, invented an energy-efficient technology that harnesses largely low-temperature, water-based reactions.
British growth in production relies on manufacturing
Forecast of $20.59bn investment in manufacturing IoT by 2021 as British growth in production relies on manufacturing.UK manufacturing contributed to a 1.1% increase in total production between November and December 2016, according to Office for National Statistics figures published.
Iran and Middle East could adopt fully renewable electricity systems
Iran can transition to a fully renewable electricity system and financially benefit from it by 2030. Researchers at Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) show that major oil-producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region could turn their abundant renewable energy resources into lucrative business opportunities in less than two decades.
Tech basis set for high performance electronic circuit breakers
A German research team has explored the technological basis for reducing the energy losses in power grids and electric devices by more than half. This can be made possible through the use of DC. DC allows for smaller power losses when compared to the alternating current (AC) used today. The five project partners from industry and science investigated the foundations of a semiconductor-based and completely electronic circuit breaker that can be us...
