From artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things (IoT), far-reaching innovations are unfolding in virtually every technology sector around the globe, continuing to change the way consumers, businesses and machines interact while also spurring the next revolution in tech market growth, according to a new white paper from IHS Markit.
Embedded NAND flash memory products for automotive applications
The launch of Toshiba Corporation’s Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions's JEDEC e∙MMCTM Version 5.1 compliant embedded NAND flash memory products supporting AEC-Q100 Grade2 requirements has been announced. The line-up offers densities of 8, 16, 32 and 64GB. Sample shipments have already started with mass production scheduled for the second quarter (April-June) of 2017.
UN make ‘killer drones’ a priority for 2017
It would be difficult to argue that the technological advancements that have been made in recent years have not been for the betterment of humanity. Almost every aspect of technology has been designed to make our lives easier, safer and even make us live longer – from ADAS in our cars and robotic surgery to smart homes and the IoT.
USB Type-C solutions for rapid charging & high-speed data transfer
ON Semiconductor will be showcasing its portfolio of solutions for the effective implementation of USB Type-C applications at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. USB Type-C is the rapidly emerging default industry-standard for wired smart and rapid charging and high-speed data transmission to support applications such as high definition video and augmented and virtual reality.
Experts look at the future of automotive electronics
Rapidly evolving technology in the automotive market - from autonomous cars and advanced ADAS systems, to truck platooning and vehicle networking - means that many consumers are unsure about what the future holds for the modern day motorists.
Software upgrade optimises calibration of ECU parameters
In Version 15.0, Vector is extending its CANape measurement and calibration tool with many new functions. Its scalable, decentralised recorder solution makes it possible to reliably capture very high bandwidth measurement data rates of over 1 GByte/s, such as those that occur in the ADAS field. The tool’s advanced user operation concept – with an intuitive menu ribbon that is structured according to feature sets – makes it easy ...
Collaboration addresses fast-growing IoT opportunities
A collaborative project has been announced between Ilika and McLaren Applied Technologies and Sharp Laboratories of Europe (Sharp) to create an autonomous energy harvesting power source, thanks to funding of over £500,000 from Innovate UK.
Safety-critical expertise brought to functional safety for Industrial IoT
With the accelerating growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is increasingly important to identify and implement safety-related systems for smart grids, connected vehicles, robotics, industrial control systems, smart factories, and more. And when it comes to ensuring the reliability of these can’t-fail systems,Wind River has a proven track record of success across critical infrastructure sectors. Guest blog byChip Downing.
Taking a leap in bioinspired robotics
In the not so distant future, first responders to a disasterzone may include four-legged, dog-like robots that can bound through a fire or pick their way through a minefield, rising up on their hind legs to turn a hot door handle or punch through a wall.Such robo-rescuers may be ready to deploy in the next five to 10 years, says Sangbae Kim, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT.
Autonomous driving – here today and tomorrow for everyone
Autonomous driving vehicles are on the road today. To name just a couple of examples, Volvo has already launchedautonomous driving trialson the streets of Gothenburg, close to its headquarters, and has announced plans to extend trials toLondonandChina. Google’s self‑driving cars, on the other hand, have amassed close to two million autonomous miles driven, according to the company’slatest report.
