The 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), taking place in January, will see Texas Instruments (TI) display its semiconductor technology.

According to Fumiya Iida, Lecturer in mechatronics,University of Cambridge, creating artificial intelligence that can design future versions of itself – effectively a robot that can reproduce and evolve – might help us discover innovations that humans might not consider on their own.

Cambridge researchers have developed a new type of display for vehicles which is the first to use laser holographic techniques to project information such as speed, direction and navigation onto the windscreen. The technology is now available on all Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. According to researchers, these new systems provide a fully immersive driving experience and could even improve safety by monitoring driver behaviour.

Euro NCAP is introducing a new test to check how well vehicles autonomously detect and prevent collisions with pedestrians. With new vehicles offering more autonomous driver assist systems, Euro NCAP’s Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Pedestrian tests will make it simpler for consumers and manufacturers to find out which systems work best.

For those of a certain generation the name Spencer will conjure up images of clumsy incompetence. Whether it be roller skating underneath a London bus or clinging to a car door teetering on the edge of Beachy Head, Frank Spencer, the hapless hero of the 1970s sitcom ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’, caused chaos wherever he went – no matter how honourable his intentions.

British company Blue Bear Systems Research (BBSR) is promoting its Autonomous Sonobuoy Deployment (ASD) capability that significantly enhances Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) operations. The system, which combines hardware and software, has been developed the globally recognised specialists in the design, development, evaluation and implementation of unmanned systems. BBSR supplies leading military and industry customers around the world, including ...

In Germany the concept of energiewende (the country’s transition to an energy portfolio dominated by renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development), inherently includes smart energy use. However, there is not yet any storage system that could be used by industry to efficiently recover braking energy of the many machines in Germany.

Although a world where all the cars on the road are automated is still some way off, the reality is they already exist in parts of the US such as California and Florida, and the development of driverless systems for many of the world’s traditional automotive manufacturers is well underway.

To satisfy the demand for flexibility plus ever-increasing data rates, cooling capacities and power consumption, Pentair has developed the Schroff AdvancedTCA ECO Modular System. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, this 14U AdvancedTCA system offers 14 slots and is based on a modular concept with a cost-optimised scope of features. All features can be upgraded or minimised as required and the cooling and power supply can be easily adapted to...

The new S-450 and S-450µ series SD and Micro SD memory cards from Swissbit are aimed at demanding applications requiring high reliability and robustness. They combine SLC flash components with a powerful system architecture and intelligent firmware. The new memory cards are available at distributor Rutronik.
