Deterministic multi-axis motor control solution
It has been announced by Microsemi that it has made enhancements to its SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA-based deterministic multi-axis motor control solution, expanding its features to support applications using encoder, Hall sensor, CAN bus and induction motors.
Brammer optimises lubrication solution for busy sawmill
Introducing an advanced oil mist lubrication system has resulted in potential annual savings of close to £3,000 for BSW Timber Dalbeattie, a major supplier of softwood.
Combining passwords & tokens improves mobile security
Online applications on mobile devices require new methods of secured log-in. The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance has developed security standards for strong authentication that are simple to use and protect more efficiently from fraud. Infineon Technologies has announced the first FIDO-certified BLE reference design for wireless authentication tokens.
IoT smart water meters in Belgium
A deal has been signed today between water-link and the ENGIE Fabricom–Hydroko joint venture to install smart meters in Antwerp, which marks the first new project of this kind in Belgium.
Wireless EEG headset designed for ER & ICU patients
imec and Holst Centre (set up by imec and TNO) have collaborated with Nihon Kohden, a Japanese manufacturer, developer and distributor of medical electronic equipment, on the development of a wireless ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) monitoring device for clinical applications.
Cities of the future could be made out of synthetic bone
Cambridge researchers think that the cities of the future need to go back to nature if they are to support an ever-expanding population, while keeping carbon emissions under control. Between them, concrete and steel are responsible for as much as a tenth of worldwide carbon emissions. Before they ever reach a construction site, both steel and concrete must be processed at very high temperatures – which takes a lot of energy. And yet, our ci...
An alternative view on football coaching
There are few sports where technology has been a bigger catalyst for change over the last 15-20 years than football – driving a seismic shift in attitudes towards coaching, nutrition, player physiology and health – particularly in England.
Aim to lead innovation in Europe
A consortium including the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge has begun work on a major project to improve innovation processes and their effectiveness in society.
NASA unveils experimental electric aeroplane
With 14 electric motors turning propellers integrated into a uniquely-designed wing, NASA will test new propulsion technology using an experimental aeroplane. This plane, the agency’s first X-plane designation in a decade, has been designated the X-57 and nicknamed “Maxwell”.
Bio-based mesh can aid hernia treatment
A novel bio-based scaffold promises significantly better clinical performance in hernia operations. Mesh repair of hernias is now standard in most countries. Typically, a non-degradable polymeric mesh is placed at the site of organ protrusion to act as a scaffold for reinforcing tissue growth. However, customarily used non-degradable polymers are often associated with a high rate of foreign body reaction and hernia recurrence. In addition, curren...
