“SemI40” strengthens Europe’s economy with the “learning factory”
The research project SemI40 (“Power Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing 4.0”) led by Infineon Austria was launched recently. In this project 37 partners from five countries will carry out research into further developing autonomous factories. The common goal is the next stage in the development of Industry 4.0 applications. With a volume of €62m, the research project is one of the largest Industry 4.0 projects in Europe.
The world’s most user-friendly mobile robot
Mobile Industrial Robots, MiR, has announced that it has opened a US office and its award-winning autonomous mobile robot—the MiR100—will be available to North American companies as another tool to drive efficiency. Already in use in 19 countries at prominent manufacturers such as Leoni, Flextronics, and Continental, MiR leads a new generation of autonomous mobile robots whose ease of use, flexibility and payback of less than a year w...
A round up of the 10th Battery Experts Forum
Which took place from 5th until 7th April 2016 in Aschaffenburg’s city hall, the 10th Battery Experts Forum, formerly known as 'Developer Forum Battery Technology', impressed attendees with an even more comprehensive programme than in the years before.
Wind energy inspection activities simplified
SKF has developed SKF Enlight mobile and cloud based data collection, analysis and support system to suit the needs of the global wind energy industry. The solution is designed to improve inspection efficiency and reduce costs for frontline maintenance teams and to provide operators with rich, real time data on turbine performance and reliability.
Eye-safe laser developed from single crystal growth
A team of scientists at Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Belarusian National Technical University has created a unique laser. It's a compact light source with wavelengths harmless to the human eye. The device can be used in medicine, communications systems and also in research. The works are published in Journal of Crystal Growth and Optics Letters.
Robot gestures to improve communication
In the world of robot communication, it seems actions speak louder than words. Scientists in the UK have discovered that by getting robot avatars to "talk with their hands," we understand them as well as we do our fellow human beings. Avatars have been in existence since the 1980s and today are used by millions of people across the globe. They are big business too: from AI to social media and psychotherapy to high-end video games, they are used t...
Quantum physics phenomenon now more readily measurable
The quantum mechanical entanglement of particles plays an important role in many technical applications. To date, however, the effect has been difficult to measure experimentally. Physicists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona have now developed a new protocol to detect entanglement of many-particle quantum states using established measuring methods.
Latest technologies improve cyber security
With enough computing effort most contemporary security systems will be broken. But a research team at the University of Sydney has made a major breakthrough in generating single photons (light particles), as carriers of quantum information in security systems.The collaboration involving physicists at the CUDOS, an ARC Centre of Excellence headquartered in the School of Physics, and electrical engineers from the School of Electrical and Informati...
Expansion of partnership could improve LTE SoCs
CEVA and Spreadtrum Communications announced the expansion of their long-term strategic partnership around Spreadtrum’s advanced LTE SoC smartphone platforms.Spreadtrum’s latest 64-bit Octa-Core LTE SoC platform, the SC9860, integrates multiple CEVA DSPs, performing multiple signal processing workloads, including LTE Cat-7 baseband, audio and voice, sensor fusion and always-on.
Banner Engineering Open Production Facility in Mexico
Banner Engineering announces the opening of a new production plant, located at the Millennium Industrial Park in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The new facility features 30,000 square feet of production space and 10,000 square feet of office space. It is designed to accommodate future growth with the ability to expand to 60,000 square feet and is projected to generate approximately 150-200 new jobs when fully built out.
