2.9GHz integrated thin film filter delivers high frequency
A manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, AVX Corporation,has released a 2.9GHz 0805 high performance, low pass Integrated Thin Film (ITF) SMD filter that exhibits low insertion loss and extremely sharp roll-off in high frequency (1.7-2.9GHz) wireless applications, including: mobile communications systems, microcell and picocell base stations, satellite TV receivers, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), vehicle location system...
Phase-change materials imitate functionality of neurons
IBM scientists have created randomly spiking neurons using phase-change materials to store and process data. This demonstration marks a significant step forward in the development of energy-efficient, ultra-dense integrated neuromorphic technologies for applications in cognitive computing.Inspired by the way the biological brain functions, scientists have theorised for decades that it should be possible to imitate the versatile computational capa...
Imaging technique reveals brain tissue at multiple scales
MIT researchers have developed a technique for imaging brain tissue at multiple scales, allowing them to peer at molecules within cells or take a wider view of the long-range connections between neurons.
Update enhances handheld laser power/energy meter
Ophir Photonics Group has announced an update to its StarBright compact, feature-rich, handheld laser power/energy meter. Displaying measurements from picowatts to kilowatts and picojoule to hundreds of joules, StarBright measures power, single shot energy, repetitive energy, frequency and beam size with Ophir's wide range of thermal, pyroelectric and photodiode laser sensors.
First open source Hypervisor for the IoT
The prpl Foundation has announced the upcoming debut of the prplHypervisor at the IoT Evolution Expo in Las Vegas. The prplHypervisor is an industry-first light-weight open source hypervisor specifically designed to provide security through separation for the billions of embedded connected devices that power the IoT.
Creating and customising material at the atomic scale
Additive manufacturing techniques featuring atomic precision could one day create materials with Legos flexibility and Terminator toughness, according to researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.In a review paper published inACS Nano, Olga Ovchinnikova and colleagues provide an overview of existing paths to 3D materials, but the ultimate goal is to create and customise material at the atomic scale.
Better performance of tiny lasers by adding impurities
Scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) have improved the performance of tiny lasers by adding impurities, in a discovery which will be central to the development of low-cost biomedical sensors, quantum computing, and a faster internet. Researcher Tim Burgess added atoms of zinc to lasers one hundredth the diameter of a human hair and made of gallium arsenide - a material used extensively in smartphones and other electronic devices...
Compact LEDs improve design flexibility in wearables & drones
Enabling greater colour expression and improved design freedom, ROHM Semiconductor has announced the addition of 7 colours to its PICOLED series of low-profile, ultra-compact chip LEDs optimised for wearables, drones and portable devices.
Camera can image at speeds 100 times faster than today's cameras
Researchers have improved upon a camera technology that can image at speeds about 100 times faster than today's commercial cameras while also capturing more image frames. The technology opens a host of new possibilities for studying extremely fast processes such as neurons firing, chemical reactions, fuel burning or chemicals exploding.
PCIE 4.0 test solution Includes support for 16 GT/s data rates
A series of enhancements to the Tektronix suite of PCI Express (PCIe) test solutions includes support for the 16 GT/s data rate and what is said to be the industry's first automated transmitter and receiver test solutions supporting the PCIe 4.0 architecture. With the faster data rates for PCIe 4.0 technology come new test challenges such as major increases in channel loss, tightening of the total jitter budget and more complex link training and ...
