Podcast on GaN transistors and integrated circuits
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) Corporation has posted an update to its popular ‘How to GaN’ video podcast series. These updated videos are based on the recently published third edition textbook, ‘GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion’.
Multichannel laser diode drivers designed specifically for LIDAR
Two new multichannel laser diode drivers designed specifically for LIDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) applications are now available from PicoLAS. These boards offer four or 16 independently addressable channels.
UV enhanced silicon avalance photodiode
The SUR series of siliconavalance photodiodes from LASER COMPONENTs are based on a reach through structure with high sensitivity in the DUV/UV wavelength range. Many applications particularly in the medical and biomedical fields require highly sensitive detectors at these short wavelengths for fluorescence measurements.
Mining goes electric: goodbye poor profits
Electrics and robotics squares the circle of seeking a wider variety of depleting materials in nastier, more remote places from the seafloor to four kilometres underground, up remote mountains and later outer space. Zero-emission microgrids on-site, sensors everywhere and new information and communications technology lubricate the process.
In-cabin monitoring to improve vehicle safety
Analog Devices (ADI) has announced a collaboration with Jungo to develop a Time-of-Flight (ToF) and 2D infrared- (IR) based camera solution to enable driver- and in-cabin monitoring in vehicles. The combination of ADI’s ToF technology with Jungo’s Co-driver software is expected to enable the monitoring of vehicle occupants for levels of drowsiness and distraction by observing head and body position as well as eye gaze.
Mobility-as-a-Service - hype or hope?
In the past decade, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) has attracted significant attention as it holds the potential to disrupt the business model of the traditional automotive industry and the way people travel.
Enabling the software-defined autonomous car
There are three clear automotive trends: the migration to semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, vehicles connected to the cloud with increasing data bandwidths, and vehicle electrification. These trends are driving changes to vehicle architectures. By David Maples, General Manager, Texas Instruments
Laser diodes designed for LiDAR applications
PicoLAS have announced two new laser diode drivers designed specifically for LiDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) applications. They feature an ultra-compact driver electronics board of just 19x20mm onto which a laser diode can be directly mounted to minimise inductance. This driver board is supplied coupled to a connector board to enable simple interface.
AVs data challenge solved with OpenRoaming platform
Oxbotica and Cisco have partnered to demonstrate how OpenRoaming can unlock the potential of fully-connected autonomous vehicle fleets, enabling the seamless and secure sharing of high volume data while on the move.
Connectivity solutions for autonomous flying
For the very fast growing market of autonomous UAV systems, Rosenberger has developed a variety of connectivity solutions and systems.
