Analog Devices (ADI) has designed a spirit level for the visually impaired. It uses an ADXL312 accelerometer to measure gravitational force in the horizontal and vertical planes and sounds a buzzer when the accelerometer is exactly horizontal or vertical. It can also be used as a tilt sensor to level trailers in automotive applications for example. It can also be used as a subcircuit in automotive stability systems or drones. Simon Bramble, Staff...

The EPC team has announced that it will be delivering two technical presentations, an educational tutorial, an exhibitor webinar, and participating in panel discussions on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and applications at the upcomingPCIM Europe 2021 Digital Days, May 3rd to 7th.

Drones could soon be adopted as essential tools for various agricultural tasks; however, with respect to their use in farm management, research is still lacking. To address this issue, researchers in Japan compared drones to well-established technologies for spraying pesticide over rice paddy fields.

Swissbit has expanded its range of hardware-based security solutions with the launch of iShield Camera. The new unique microSD product series has been specially developed for the encryption and access protection of video recording and image capture. It is host-agnostic and can therefore be used with a wide range of camera types and functions. Thanks to its plug-&-play approach, iShield Camera can be easily integrated into existing systems.

The LightIR 16-180mm f/3.6 is a compact, thermal imaging lens optimised for smaller size 10µm pitch VGA FPA (focal plane array) detectors.

Big data has revolutionised production processes in all industrial sectors, but some have been slower than others to understand the potential of what is now considered the most precious resource in the world. Here Neil Ballinger, Head of EMEA at automation parts supplierEU Automation, has delved deeper into how big data is revolutionising three historically low-tech sectors.

TDK has announced the introduction of the 750W rated TDK-Lambda i7A series of non-isolated buck DC/DC step-down converters, packaged in the industry-standard 1/16th brick footprint. The output voltage of these 24V nominal input step-down converters can be adjusted from 3.3 to 18V with a maximum current of 45A.

It is easy to make 1000-mile battery-electric vehicles, and the effect on market uptake will be profound. For example, a typical city-dweller today might charge only once every two months and vacation where chargers are rare.

The Boson camera core is a FLIR high-performance uncooled thermal imaging technology within a small, lightweight, and low-power package, and now FLIR partners and customers will have the option to purchase radiometric versions that can capture the temperature data of every pixel in the scene.

e-con Systems has announced that it is bringing its new SONY STARVIS based 4K Ultra-HD MIPI camera module to the market for smart city, sports vision, quality inspection and factory automation applications. This camera module is suitable for applications requiring high level of image recognition and detection with a compact design, which makes it suitable for video analytics purposes.
