Microsemi has announced an imaging/video solution for the development of low power and reliable video processing applications. The new platform is comprised of an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC), a comprehensive IP suite and GUI. The FMC plugged into the SmartFusion2 Advanced Development Kit demonstrates Microsemi’s IGLOO2 FPGA and SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA capabilities to support configurable and scalable camera, imaging and video designs.

The launch of Tara, a USB 3.0 Stereo vision camerahas been announced by e-con Systems. Tara is based on the 1/3-inch MT9V024, a WVGA Global shutter monochrome CMOS image sensor from OnSemi. The Tara supports Stereo WVGA (1504x480) at 60fps over USB 3.0 in uncompressed format.

Synopsys has announced the version 8.5 release of Coverity, the company's industry-leading static analysis tool and one of the core components of its Software Integrity Platform. Coverity is an automated software testing tool that analyses source code to detect critical security vulnerabilities and defects early in the software development lifecycle.

Head of Development at Bystronic, a company that develops and sells systems for sheet processing, based in Switzerland, Dr Jürgen Hohnhaus, speaks in an interview on the topic of Industry 4.0:

When Steve Collins first envisioned the electroadhesive clutch, he made a prototype with a sandwich bag and a couple of pieces of aluminum foil from his kitchen. Since creating that makeshift prototype, he and his research team have developed a sophisticated, functional device that can be used in exoskeletons that compensate for a person's disability or enhance their athletic performance.

A team of scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has found an unusual way to protect mortar from moisture: When the material is being mixed, they add a biofilm – a soft, moist substance produced by bacteria.Oliver Lielegusually has little to do with bricks, mortar and concrete. As a professor of biomechanics at the Institute of Medical Engineering (IMETUM) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, he mainly deals with bi...

The predicted arrival of fully-autonomous cars could signal the end of traditional vehicle ownership as we know it.A new survey carried out by used car specialists HPL Motors has found that one in four Britons would sell their vehicle in favour of signing up for a driverless car subscription.

The launch and implementation of China’s first ever large-scale road test initiative for intelligent connected vehicles through the NXP-Tongji University Joint Lab is to be supported byNXP Semiconductors and Tongji University.

On 5th July, 2016, Roke Manor Research (Roke) demonstrated the world’s first viable 3D ‘black box’ technology for vehicles, using just a single dashboard camera. Fitted to an autonomous Toyota Prius, Roke demonstrated how data captured via vision processing technology could be used to provide a precise 3D reconstruction following a road incident.

As vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous, the security and integrity of automotive systems is a top priority for the automotive industry. The Proactive Safety Principles released in January demonstrate the automotive industry’s commitment to collaboratively enhance the safety of the travelling public.
