A 3D foot scanner, designed to improve the shoe shopping experience, has been introduced by mifitto. The scanner integrates Elo Touch Solution's 3201L touchscreen, with the featured LED backlights offering a brightness of 350cd/m². The touchscreen is available with either PCAPor IntelliTouch Plus surface acoustic wave touch technologies.

To address the rising demands of imaging systems in mobile, medical, automotive and other technology applications, the Imaging Without Limits Conference (7th to 8th October) will be introduced at SEMICON Europa this year to address this surging market.Covering a broad range of imaging systems, the two-day conference will explore the promise of imaging-related systems, existing applications and new applications and technologies now on the horizon.

A broadband access network called Fibre-To-The-Distribution Point (FTTdp) is being developed, it has been announced.This concept calls for running optical fibre to a distribution point that can be flexibly installed relatively close to the customer premise. The existing copper infrastructure is utilised to complete the access line to and within the building.

Imec, Ghent University, and their partners in the European FP7 project SMARTFIBER have demonstrated the world’s first miniaturised fiber-optical sensor system than can be fully embedded in a composite material. This leads the way toward smart composites that enable continued and automatic monitoring of the structural health of the composite material in -for example- tidal blades, wind turbines, airplanes (fuselage, wings) or marine structur...

X-FAB Silicon Foundries has announced it has reached a major milestone in further expanding its MEMS manufacturing capabilities in two of its German locations, Erfurt and Itzehoe. Driven by increased customer demand for MEMS manufacturing services, the expansion includes two new dedicated MEMS fabs with cleanroom space totaling more than 2,000 m2.

Low Power Consumption is the Key Many electric motors consume more current than necessary just because they do not operate within their optimum efficiency range. Field-oriented control (FOC) is ideally suited to solve this problem by enabling precise control based on torque and speed.

Analog Deviceswill demonstrate a broad portfolio of smartly integrated solutions that optimise system performance and show the development and rapid prototyping of solutions and tools at this year’sPCIM2014 show taking place from 20-22 May in Nuremberg, Germany. Analog Devices will be present inHall 6, Stand 326.

The SMT Hybrid Packaging International Exhibition and Conference for System Integration in Micro Electronics, Nuremberg, 6-8 May 2014, will feature several special topics presented with their own exhibition areas. The production line of the Fraunhofer IZM in Hall 6 will be dedicated to "Industry 4.0 - With new Technologies towards lot size 1".

After a term of 3 years, the jointly funded project IMAGE has been successfully completed. As a result, the project partners, Carnot MIB from Bordeaux (project leaded by LCPO) and Fraunhofer COMEDD from Dresden, demonstrated novel transparent electrodes, which are arranged on a backing film and enable flexible electronic components.Made up of organic materials, these electrodes were performance tested by using flexible OLEDs and organic solar cel...
