As commercial drones continue to grow, so do the risks
Drones have the potential to become a multi-billion dollar business, whether they are used commercially for industrial inspections, aerial photography, border patrol, emergency deliveries and crop surveys or recreationally by millions.However, a number of safety concerns are rising as more and more drones enter the skies.
Latest vehicle technology at Light Electric Vehicle Summit
Crafting the right noise signature for operational and brand expectation requirements, proving that autonomous light electric vehicles are sufficiently safe for highway operation, and creating new electrical/electronic architecture as well as including a new tilting four wheeler architecture for L-category vehicles will be among key challenges to be featured at the first Light Electric Vehicle Summit (LEVS), in technology presentations by Ricardo...
A heads-up display for all cars and phones
HUD (Heads-up displays) were originally developed for military aviation, displaying information on transparent screens so pilots could keep their heads up while flying.Hudly projects your phone's content directly in your line of sight while driving, allowing you to use all of your favorite mobile apps. Now you can stay connected without taking your eyes off the road.

Supporting the growing demand for MIPI CSI-2 Interfaces
New enhancements have been made to Microsemi’s imaging/video solution supporting the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) camera serial interface (CSI-2). Customers can use the company’s low power, highly secure IGLOO 2 field programmable gate array (FPGA) and SmartFusion 2 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA capabilities in CSI-2-based camera systems.
Bearing grease created 100% from food
The world’s first grease lubricant that is 100% derived from food grade ingredients has been developed by NSK.The development represents a breakthrough for any plants where machinery, production equipment or devices come into contact with foods, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics. Furthermore, the new H3G grease is ideal for any application that is suited to the lubricant´s additional strengths of water resistance and low torque.
Trade data shows Heathrow’s soaring role
Discussing and commenting on the trade data out today, which shows the importance of Heathrow to UK exports, Chris Richards, Senior Business Environment Policy Adviser at EEF, the manufacturer’s’ organisation, said: “Heathrow is a global freight hub for the UK economy, handling over 36% of Britain's non-EU exports by value."
Intelligent power management controls portable generator
This prototype of an electrical power management system will be the intelligence within Raytheon UK’s Portable Power Generator (PPG) where the PPG is set to be a man-portable unit for use in the field. It is also suitable for use an as auxiliary power unit (APU) within vehicles.
NASA to shine lasers on future aircraft concept
As NASA aeronautics engineers prepare to develop a series of greener, quieter, faster X-planes, they are already testing concepts that could be candidates.One of those is a Blended Wing Body (BWB). A 6% scale model of a Boeing BWB is being tested for six weeks in the 14x22ft. Subsonic Tunnel at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
