What will life be like in 100 years?
Technological innovation seems to speed up every year. If you go back far enough, then quality of life didn’t change very much from one century to the next, and before the industrial revolution, neither did technology. Now though, the human race is going at light speed, and it’s hard to predict what will happen over the next decade, let alone the next 100 years; but with a pinch of salt in mind, what might be waiting for us around the...
Using a tilt sensor to design a spirit level for the visually impaired
Analog Devices (ADI) has designed a spirit level for the visually impaired. It uses an ADXL312 accelerometer to measure gravitational force in the horizontal and vertical planes and sounds a buzzer when the accelerometer is exactly horizontal or vertical. It can also be used as a tilt sensor to level trailers in automotive applications for example. It can also be used as a subcircuit in automotive stability systems or drones. Simon Bramble, Staff...
EPC to showcase high power density eGaN FETs at PCIM
The EPC team has announced that it will be delivering two technical presentations, an educational tutorial, an exhibitor webinar, and participating in panel discussions on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and applications at the upcomingPCIM Europe 2021 Digital Days, May 3rd to 7th.
The triumphs and challenges facing Agriculture 4.0
Agriculture 4.0 is the latest revolution in agriculture, something that has been integral to the human way of life since the dawn of time, in one form or another. Agriculture 4.0 is the introduction of AI and smart machines into the agriculture the industry, and has grown to such an extent that is now the world’s third largest robotics market.
Swissbit launches ‘iShield Camera’ memory card
Swissbit has expanded its range of hardware-based security solutions with the launch of iShield Camera. The new unique microSD product series has been specially developed for the encryption and access protection of video recording and image capture. It is host-agnostic and can therefore be used with a wide range of camera types and functions. Thanks to its plug-&-play approach, iShield Camera can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Sensors critical to future drone adoption
Drone sensors are critical to wider drone adoption. IDTechEx has forecast that the market for drone sensors will be greater than $2.9bn by 2031, according to their recent market research report ‘Drone Market and Industries 2021-2041’.
Three sectors ready to be revolutionised by big data
Big data has revolutionised production processes in all industrial sectors, but some have been slower than others to understand the potential of what is now considered the most precious resource in the world. Here Neil Ballinger, Head of EMEA at automation parts supplierEU Automation, has delved deeper into how big data is revolutionising three historically low-tech sectors.
24V input DC/DC step-down converters deliver 750W
TDK has announced the introduction of the 750W rated TDK-Lambda i7A series of non-isolated buck DC/DC step-down converters, packaged in the industry-standard 1/16th brick footprint. The output voltage of these 24V nominal input step-down converters can be adjusted from 3.3 to 18V with a maximum current of 45A.
