CETECOM launches the Open Lab Alliance
On February 12, the Open Lab Alliance (OLA) opened its doors with a grand opening at the CETECOM laboratory in Milpitas, California. The OLA provides real world in-lab test scenarios necessary for developing connected vehicle subsystems and applications. It is hosted by a highly accredited test laboratory and is comprised of industry-leading test and measurement companies, roadside unit (RSU) suppliers, and simulation system tool providers that d...
Secure MCUs bring advanced cyber safety to connected cars
The 150-250m connected cars expected on our roads by 2020 will be kept safe by chips like the latest secure MCUs from STMicroelectronics. Internet connectivity will bring a multitude of services to vehicles and their owners, such as software updates, service packs, location-based information, social media, streaming entertainment content and emergency support.
Self-directed robot can identify objects
"That is a ball." "I do believe that is a cone." "Seems like a wonderful book." The voice is mechanical and flat, and anyone offering such banal commentary and sounding so bored would surely bomb in a job interview. But in this case, the observations are impressive. They're made by what looks like a two-foot-tall stack of hors d'oeuvre trays on wheels, careening around the floor and proclaiming its discoveries as its "eye," an attached camera, fa...
The latest platform for hardware cryptographic acceleration
Atmel launched the industry’s first hardware interface library for TLS stacks used in IoT edge node applications. Hardening is a method used for reducing security risks to a system by applying additional hardware security layers and eliminating vulnerable software.
How do smart cities stay smart?
Smart cities use a mix of information, energy and social technologies for environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and livability. However, they need to be not just smart but agile, making technology choices that let citizens adapt and improve on solutions they implement today, according to Lux Research.
Fast proximity sensor eliminates DACs to lower costs
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced an infrared (IR) sensor designed to provide fast, low-cost proximity sensing in a variety of systems. The Vishay Semiconductors TSSP4056 is the industry's first fixed-gain sensor containing a band-pass filter tuned to 56kHz to feature a monotonic sensitivity vs. frequency response curve from 30 to 54kHz.
UK marine reserve gets a drone patrol
In an effort to counter unauthorised fishing and trawling, a 322,000m2 Pacific Ocean marine reserve has employed the use of drones to patrol the area and feed data back to a satellite watch room.
Sensor technologies are mature for autonomous driving application
Autonomous driving is arguably the most exciting development in the industry today. Indeed, according to the latest analysis from Yole Développement (Yole), entitled Sensors and Data Management for Autonomous Vehicles report 2015 (October 2015 edition), the automotive market segment is the next target of the consumer electronic players.
