70% smaller than current solutions and delivering a 30% reduction in Time To First Fix (TTFF), CSR and OriginGPS announce a series of high-performance GNSS modules using CSR’s SiRFstarIV and SiRFstarV product lines. Integrating antennas, the modules are suited for health and fitness trackers, sports watches, medical devices, wearable action cameras and digital still cameras.

A 1.5m wide prototype unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been developed by engineers at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield. Created with a 3D printer, the engineers have claimed that the polymer craft could form the basis of cheap and potentially disposable UAVs that could be built and deployed in remote situations potentially within as little as 24 hours.

Intel is partnering with the automotive industry and combining its world-class technology and consumer electronics expertise to help speed development of innovative, unique driving experiences from in-car infotainment, to autonomous driving.

At the IPC APEX EXPO, March 25-27 2014 in Las Vegas, USA, Aqueous Technologies will debut the latest generation cleaning and defluxing technology in Booth #2063. Company representatives will be on hand to demonstrate the capabilities of the Trident ZDO, Trident ECO, Trident Duo, Zero-Ion and StencilWasher-ZDO product lines.

Based onIntel’s first SoC E3800 Atom product family, theADLE3800PCPCIe/104 SBC has been announced by ADL Embedded Solutions. The SBC offerssuperior compute performance and energy efficiency and has Intel’s 7th generation graphics engine for stunning graphics performance.

Targeting mobile and wearable devices such as smartphones, tablets, fitness bands and smart watches, the ICM-20728 integrated 7-axis MEMS SoC has been announced by InvenSense. The company claim that the ICM-20728 is the world's first integrated 7-axis (3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and pressure sensor) single chip platform solution with onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP).

A family of digital PoL load DC/DC modules, which address the rapidly-rising power challenges in distributed power architectures, has been announced by CUI. The NDM3ZS-60 is a non-isolated module outputting 60A in ultra low-profile vertical and horizontal packages.

At embedded World 2014, on stand 350 in Hall 1, Renesas will launch Europe’s first MCU Car Rally competition for students.

Designed for TCO-optimised applications, the S-40 and S-40u Series SD and Micro SD memory cards have been made available by Swissbit. Swissbit claim that these are the first SD and Micro SD cards on the market to feature autonomous data refresh that requires no intervention by the host or application. Further to these claims, Swissbit also boast that intelligent algorithms enable the memory cards to deliver up to 100x longer data retention than c...

The considerable potential for energy harvesting in the field of medical implants — where the body itself could become the energy source — means the efforts to enable ultra-low power circuits and sensors to exploit energy harvesting are accelerating, enabling autonomous operation and battery-free design to be realised.
