Who let the AirDogs out?
When people follow you around it can be a bit creepy, however not when it’s a drone. The AirDog is not about flying and following, it’s about getting the shot without taking anything away from what is most important, the action itself.A self-flying action sports drone, AirDog has been developed to follow you around and keep up with you as you perform all sorts of extreme sports.
Battery charger offers the industry’s lowest leakage current
Intersil announced the ISL78693, a 3.6V single-cell battery charger that extends the life of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries used in automotive emergency call (eCall) systems. The ISL78693 battery charger offers up to 4x lower leakage current (3uA) than competitive chargers, allowing the eCall backup battery to remain charged for a longer period of time. See a demonstration of the ISL78693 in Intersil’s booth #E30-11 at the Autom...
