Bluetooth smart module provides long-range connectivity
The BGM111 Blue Gecko Bluetooth Smart Module from Silicon Labs is now in sotck at Mouser Electronics. This ultra-low-power, Bluetooth 4.1 (Bluetooth Smart) module is designed for applications where good RF performance, ultra-low power consumption, and easy development are main design factors.
Unmanned ship to sail across the Atlantic in 2020
Plymouth University is aspiring to build the first full-sized autonomous unmanned ship to sail across the Atlantic in 2020. Designed and developed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed and award-winning partners, the Mayflower Autonomous ResearchShip (MARS)will emulate the pioneering spirit and courage of the original Mayflower voyage.
Paris platform for comprehensive T&M line up
Rohde & Schwarz will take advantage of European Microwave Week in Paris (Sept 7-10) to present its T&M highlights for the highest frequencies. The company will showcase its new R&S FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester for the first time in Europe. The new R&S FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester allows users to measure the spectral purity of signal sources such as generators, synthesisers or voltage-controlled oscillators.
Sync buck DC/DC controller enables use of DrMOS
Linear Technology Corporation has announced theLTC3887-1, a dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with I²C-based PMBus interface for digital power system management. The LTC3887-1 differs from the previously released LTC3887 by providing a three-state PWM signal, enabling the use of DrMOS, power blocks or similar power stages.
Mother robot builds and tests its own 'children'
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge have built a mother robot that can independently build its own children and test which one does best; and then use the results to inform the design of the next generation, so that preferential traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
More intelligent IoT
An end-to-end solution for connecting millions of devices that can understand their environment and use predictive intelligence to improve the user experience, reduce cost and improve efficiency, has been introduced by WiSilica. Taking advantage of the existing smartphone ecosystem and WiSilica’s proprietary mesh networking technology, the WiSe platform enables customers to easily configure smart homes, buildings, lighting, sensors and wear...
CETECOM joins OmniAir Consortium
CETECOM has joined the OmniAir Consortium connected vehicle association. In addition to certifying devices for 5.9GHz Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC), CETECOM will also work with other OmniAir members to enhance in-vehicle application usability and certification standards.
China to spend up to $1 trillion on electric buses
According to research from IDTechEx, China looks set to spend up to $1 trillion on electric buses over the coming 15 years. This will reduce the financial impact from air pollution by over $22.5 trillion, at least 1% of GDP. More insurrection will occur if corrective action is insufficient because hundreds of thousands are dying from traffic pollution and far more are suffering resultant serious disease.
Low-latency interconnect supports both 4G & 5G
Integrated Device Technology's RapidIO Gen2 products have been adopted by Fujitsu in their latest generation of wireless base stations. These systems are being deployed in production in support of Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) cellular network architectures and LTE and next-gen LTE-A wireless standards, among others.
COM Express module boasts improved graphics capability
A first COM Express Basic Size Type 6 module incorporating the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 processor and Intel Core i7 processor (formerly codenamed “Broadwell”) with Intel QM87 Chipset has been launched by Adlink Technology. It features improved graphics and processing performance compared to previous generation processors.
