STMicroelectronics has announced that the company's advanced BiCMOS55 SiGetechnology has been selected by the European E3NETWORK R&D initiative for developing energy-efficient, high-capacity transmission systems in next-gen mobile networks.Skyrocketing mobile-data usage requires networks to support greater capacity and higher data rates.

The Green Electronics Council has unveiled the full list of sessions and speakers for the Emerging Green Conference, the premiere international green-electronics conference in 2015. Emerging Green will be composed of 13 tracks and five general sessions. The experts in each will join previously announced keynote speakers from HP, Facebook, Electronic Recyclers International and author Andrew Winston as the three-day conference explores issues of e...

From the 5th to 7th May 2015 the industry met in Nuremberg, Germany and took advantage of the platform for information and knowledge exchange. According to the visitor survey of the SMT Hybrid Packaging 2015 the main visitors interest laid in assembly systems, solder technologies and test. 92 % of all surveyed visitors indicated, that they have found products and/or solutions for their company.

In a trend study Fraunhofer IAO has identified and examined the most important areas to consider for successful HMI in production. The study provides insight into ergonomic HMI design and the integration of new technologies such as social media, interaction and recognition technology.

Industrial automation, medical equipment, electronic components – plagiarism of capital equipment requires effective prevention, such as embedded security solutions from Infineon. According to the OECD, counterfeiting and piracy costs add up to around $638bn annually. The OPTIGA Trust E offers an easily implementable solution to protect manufacturers’ valuable IP from being attacked, analysed, copied and modified.

ACS Motion Control has expanded its NanoPWM line of ground breaking PWM servo drives to include a new dual axis EtherCAT drive. The NPMPM series of EtherCAT servo drive modules provide motion performance that was previously only achievable using linear drives, without the drawbacks of such linear drives. The drives are significantly smaller, much more efficient, produce less heat dissipation, better protected and lower in cost.

The Call for Papers of Smart Systems Integration 2016 is now open. The event, which will take place in Munich, Germany 9th to 10th March 2016, will be once again the key platform for the Smart Systems Integration industry to meet and discuss current issues. Deadline to submit abstracts is 5th October 2015.

LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015, held last week (22nd to 25th June) in Munich, has been hailed as a success with around 9% more exhibitors and 10% more visitors than the previous show. The event hosted a total of 1,227 exhibitors, over 30,000 visitors and approximately 3,500 participants in more than 2,700 lectures at the World of Photonics Congress.

The “Luftstrom” research project investigates how batteries in EVs can be charged more efficiently. Luftstrom (English: Airstream) will help accelerate the conversion to climate-friendly mobility. Twelve partners in the German automotive sector, its supply industry and the sciences are collaborating on this project for the next three years. The use of new power semiconductors is expected to reduce losses during charging and, ultimatel...

HV-ModAL, a German research project to improve the power ofEV drive trains,aims to create an electric drive train modular system toolbox which is suitable for a wide range of EVs, within three years. Thus, the ten partners from the whole automotive value chain and the sciences intend to further expand the global market position of the German automotive industry in the field of EVs – pure electric, PHEVs and small transport vehicles.
