Engineering industrial and automotive innovation at electronica 2016
At electronica 2016 in Munich, Germany, Texas Instruments will showcase innovation focused on the future of industrial automation and automotive technologies.Take a closer look at sensor communications with wired technologies like IO-Link and wireless technologies such as Bluetooth low energy, and explore how TI’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology significantly increases the efficiency in variable speed motor drives.
Synthetic resin: curing at the touch of a button
It may appear to be a nondescript, transparent, viscous liquid, but all you have to do is irradiate any part of it briefly with UV light and it changes completely. The new special resin formulation developed at TU Wien solidifies in seconds. This effect continues to spread outwards until the resin is completely solid, which takes a matter of seconds or minutes, regardless of its previous shape. This is referred to as frontal polymerisation.
Improved production throughput in SPEA Flying Probe Systems
The boundary scan integration in the flying prober 4060 from SPEA is being expanded to the ability of panel test. Thus, panels with several boards can now be tested and also use the whole performance of the interactive test. The combined test of flying probe and boundary scan tests every board and collects all results in a joint protocol. This allows an ideal use of the flying probe resources within the boundary scan tests and offers as a consequ...
Memristor is ‘missing link’ in bioelectronic medicines
Research led by the University of Southampton, has demonstrated that a nanoscale device, called a memristor, could be the ‘missing link’ in the development of implants that use electrical signals from the brain to help treat medical conditions.Monitoring neuronal cell activity is fundamental to neuroscience and the development of neuroprosthetics – biomedically engineered devices that are driven by neural activity.
Wolfspeed to present at ECSCRM 2016
This year’s European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM) will see Wolfspeed, a Cree company, sponsoring, exhibiting, presenting and hosting and industry social event.A biannual scientific forum that invites international specialists to explore the latest achievements in the field of wide bandgap semiconductors, and especially silicon carbide, ECSCRM 2016 will take place 25th-29th September, in Halkidiki, Greece.
Embedded systems: The future of the industry at electronica 2016
“Connected Worlds—Safe and Secure” is the motto of an exhibition sector at electronica, the International Trade Fair for Electronic Components, Systems and Applications, that revolves around the latest operating systems and networking technology in the electronics applications sector.
Making nanodiamonds by smashing nanotubes
Superman can famously make a diamond by crushing a chunk of coal in his hand, but Rice University scientists are employing a different tactic.Rice materials scientists are making nanodiamonds and other forms of carbon by smashing nanotubes against a target at high speeds. Nanodiamonds won't make anyone rich, but the process of making them will enrich the knowledge of engineers who design structures that resist damage from high-speed impacts.
Firmware updates over-the-air to be accompanied by a secure signature
Nordic’s newly released nRF5 SDK v12.0 allows firmware updates over-the-air to be accompanied by a secure signature that ensures the update comes from a verified and trusted source. In addition, the SDK now supports the Arduino development kit used with the Nordic nRF52832 SoC-based Arduino Primo base board.
