ROHM has recently announced the availability of an optical sensor for heart rate monitoring optimised for wearable devices such as sports bands and smart watches. The BH1790GLC leverages proprietary analog circuit technology and optical sensor expertise to improve sensitivity, allowing pulse waves to be detected with high accuracy, even with low LED brightness, resulting in class-leading low power consumption.

The gen4 series from 4D Systems is a new range of slim and sleek display modules with an optional optically bonded cover lens bezel for seamless and cost effective integration of a Graphical User Interface to virtually any application. These display modules are designed specifically for ease-of-use and rapid development cycles, with careful consideration for space requirements and functionality.

Through the addition of larger memories, enhanced graphics support, extra peripherals, and increased power-saving flexibility,the STM32L496 and STM32L4A6 microcontrollers (MCU) from STMicroelectronics extend the fusion of ARM Cortex-M4F core performance and proprietary low power technologies.Bigger on-chip RAM, now up to 320kB, complements the newly added ST Chrom-ART Accelerator graphics engine for smoother display performance in energy-consciou...

The STM32 LoRaWAN Discovery Board from STMicroelectronics (ST) is now available at Mouser Electronics . The new Discovery Kit and I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 STM32 LoRa Arduino-compatible extension board provides a development platform for learning and evaluating solutions based on LoRa and FSK/OOK radio frequency (RF) communication.

Two new ready-to-use prototype boards available from STMicroelectronics slash the cost for developers to start evaluating LoRaWANand other LPWAN technologies including WM-Bus and 6LoWPAN. The boards are based on the smallest and lowest-power LoRaWAN modules that exist on the market today, with a footprint not larger than 13x12mm and power consumption in the range of 1.2µA in standby mode.

FTDI Chip has added to the breadth of supporting products within its X-Chip portfolio. Firstly, there is the introduction of the highly advanced LC231X USB-to-serial UART bridging module, which is based on the company’s FT231X interface IC. This compact (15.24mm x 28.19mm) and highly cost-effective unit presents engineers with jumper-selectable power to external I/O (either 3.3V or 5V, as required) and UART interface with full modem handsha...

3Dprinting makes all conceivable varieties of layered, three-dimensional objects possible, a benefit appreciated by industry and private users alike. However, once an object is printed, any freedom of design is a thing of the past and the workpiece can no longer be modified. To address this restriction, computer scientists at Saarland University are working on the integration of specifically developed components at predefined points within such3D...

Walt Disney’s little mermaid, Ariel, wanted nothing more than to be part of our world, but as it happens, now it seems that we want nothing more than to be part of hers. But while Ariel trades her voice for legs, what would you be prepared to part with for your very own mermaid tail?

When you combine two artists with an interest in fibre art, you are bound to get an interesting project. That is definitely the case for Erin Kirchner and Suldano Abdiruhman, students at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art). Their Soundsuitexplores relationship, space and sound through woven pieces attached to original vests.

A new Design Challenge for designers and engineers called ‘Upcycle it’ has been launched by element14. Sponsored by Intel, element14 will challenge 15 community members to Upcycle an unwanted or waste product to give it a new or enhanced lease of life. Upcycling is a concept that began in the 1990s and is also known as “Creative Reuse”. This is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted...
