Yole Développement (Yole) expects a smartphone market volume CAGR of 6.4% between 2015 and 2021 and projects the market will attain a value of $420bn by 2017. In its latest MEMS & Sensors report titled Sensors for Cellphones & Tablets 2016, Yole proposes its vision of the past and future evolution of sensor technology in the highly competitive and valuable smartphone market.

PCB Piezotronics has announced a new design of triaxial accelerometer which offers frequency response of 10kHz on all three axes (competitive products typically offer upper frequency response from 5 to 8kHz but often have different responses on one of the three axes). Model 356A45 accelerometers also feature 100mV/g sensitivity with measurement range of ±50gPK and are housed in a titanium package measuring just 10.2x10.2x10.2mm.

With the slogan ‘Accelerating Global Innovation’ Fujitsu Electronics Europe (FEEU) will be attending this year’s electronica in Munich from 8th-11th November (hall B1, booth 425).FEEU will be there informing businesses about the current supplier portfolio and range of product linecards, developed by the value added distribution partner for key sectors such as the automotive, industrial, medical and wellness and telecommunication...

Gen3 Systems is to exhibit with Ascentech at SMTA International and will show the GensonicStencil Cleaning, system with a 24in stencil frame. The system uses a 40kHz on-contact ultrasonic transducer for high efficiency cleaning of stencil apertures. The Gensonic can be used either in conjunction with Gen3 stencil cleaning centres or is portable enough to be taken directly to the printer.

It’s a sad truth that there are few people who haven’t been impacted by cancer in its various forms. However, a pioneering therapy that has been developed by oncology company Novocure, has tipped the scales in the fight against brain tumours. Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush finds out more and talks to a cancer survivor who has benefited from Tumor Treating Fields, or TTFields therapy.

Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart have found a way of generating acoustic holograms, which could improve ultrasound diagnostics and material testing. The holograms can also be used to move and manipulate particles.Peer Fischer, a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Professor at the University o...

Maxim Integrated Products has announced the MAXREFDES143# embedded security reference design to address the many issues related to system security in IIoT installations. The reference design provides protection against counterfeit sensor data, guaranteeing its authenticity and integrity along the entire data chain, from transducer to the cloud.

Uncompromising sound without wires: beyerdynamic has displayed the world’s first high-end Tesla headphones with Bluetooth transmission featuring the aptXTM HD standard in Berlin (hall 1.2, booth 204) from the 2nd to 7th September. This functional design study is the result of co-operation with Astell&Kern. It pushes the Korean manufacturer’s players to their limits and also makes Bluetooth interesting for more discerning listeners...

The AT/ATR-FD series current transducer has been introduced by NK Technologies. An aperture with a 1.31” inside diameter accommodates wire sizes for loads up to 400A – facilitating the feeding of wires through the sensing window for easy installation, even in applications with multiple conductors per phase. The sensor is compact (similar in size to a standard sensor case) and can be easily mounted on a back panel or DIN rail. It is co...

Using a unique single-molecule force measurement tool, a research team has developed a clearer understanding of how platelets sense the mechanical forces they encounter during bleeding to initiate the cascading process that leads to blood clotting.Beyond providing a better understanding of this vital bodily process, research into a mechanoreceptor molecule that triggers clotting could provide a potential new target for therapeutic intervention.
