STMicroelectronics is showcasing Life.Augmented from 11th to 14th November at electronica, in A5.207. ST’s offerings aim to deploy microelectronics more widely, creatively, and cost-effectively to address key societal challenges while enriching people’s daily lives.

Designed to help car manufacturers develop sophisticated advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications, the TDA3x processor family has been released by Texas Instruments. Using the automotive SoC family, manufacturers can develop ADAS applications that meet or exceed NCAP requirements, reduce collisions on the road and enable a more autonomous driving experience in entry- to mid-level automobiles.

Designed for automotive safety applications, the MLX75421 Blackbird has been introduced by Melexis. This High Dynamic Range (HDR) image sensor provides an extensive set of on-chip functional safety (ASIL) support functions, making it suitable for automatic emergency braking, electronic mirrors/camera monitor systems, autonomous evasive steering and next-gen viewing applications.

Optimism is fast returning to the entire photovoltaic industry despite some still having approximately 20% over-capacity. The sales are up and the estimates for shipments in 2014 range from 41 to 49 GW, up from 30 GW in 2012. This is welcome news as the industry experienced several difficult years characterised by over-capacity and reduced demand, triggering an intense wave of consolidation globally. The IDTechEx Printed Electronics and Energy Ha...

A precision timing GNSS module that achieves high accuracy by disciplining a local oscillator or other clock source with timing signals received from satellite-hosted atomic clocks is available from Alpha Micro Components. The LEA-M8F module from u-blox is a compact, surface-mount unit which generates a precise 30.72 MHz reference clock crucial for synchronising industrial data and communication systems such as small, femto and macro-cell mobile ...

Cypress’ TrueTouch Gen4X touchscreen controller family has been modified to support the company's SLIM (Single-Layer Independent Multi-touch) sensor structure, enabling thin form factors and improving multiple finger and glove tracking.

Vehicle technology and its ramifications for society, mobility and the environment will be to the topic of a keynote address by Dr. Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars at the Consumer Electronics Shoew in Las Vegas (Jan 6-9,2015).

Suitable for beginners and experienced electronics and software developers, Global Specialties has announced the RP6V2 robot kit with RC5 remote and battery charger. The autonomous mobile robot system is programmable in C and comes with an extensive manual, lots of example programs, and a huge C function library.

u-blox and Telenor Connexion have collaborated to secure efficient and optimised usage of M2M/IoT devices and applications in mobile networks. The aim is to further enable rapid growth and accelerate deployments of connected solutions.

Miniature data logging devices from MSR Electronics are accompanying the flights of the unmanned spacecraft ‘Cygnus’ to the International Space Station ISS to take transport measurements for the fourth consecutive flight. The data loggers are being used in order to record shock and vibrations on the transport route of the supply transporter Cygnus to the ISS.
