Investment to increase road visibility and safety
Israeli startup TriEye, whose Short-Wave-Infra-Red (SWIR) sensing technology enables vision in adverse weather and night-time conditions, has expanded its Series A round to $19m with an investment from the German sports car manufacturer Porsche. The additional funding will be used for ongoing product development and operations, as well as team growth.
DOEs for LiDAR and 3D imaging with fan angles up to 80°
With a wide range of beam splitting and beam shaping diffractive optical elements (DOEs), Holo/OR works with companies that use structured light for LiDAR, 3D imaging, and projection applications. At fan angles of up to 80° (at 850nm), the emitted light covers large areas.
The wealth of drone development platforms
Over the past decade, few emerging technologies have captured the public’s imagination as keenly as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - or as they are more commonly known drones. Their development and usage was previously restricted predominantly to military-oriented applications. By Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics
Powerful robotics technology can improve bridge inspections
Powerful robotics technology developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo makes critical bridge inspections cheaper and more reliable by automating the process.The new system combines autonomous robots, cameras and lidar - a remote sensing method using lasers - to systematically collect data for defect detection and analysis.
Rugged high-performance Ethernet switches for HPEC applications
Eurotech has expanded its portfolio of HPEC systems with the DynaNET 10G-01 and the DynaNET 100G-01, two rugged and liquid-cooled Layer 3 Ethernet switches designed for unprecedented networking performance in automotive and other embedded applications.
8GHz op amp enables high-gain configurations
Designed as a wideband, low-noise, bipolar-input operational amplifier, the OPA855 decompensated amplifier from Texas Instruments (TI) excels in high bandwidth transimpedance and voltage amplifier applications. The 8GHz gain-bandwidth product (GBWP) of the OPA855 enables high-gain configurations while maintaining wide closed-loop bandwidth.
High-speed comparators offer fast propagation delay
Among the fastest low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) comparators on the market, the MAX40025 and MAX40026 single-supply, high-speed comparators from Maxim Integrated deliver fast propagation delay for distance sensing, time-of-flight (ToF), and high-speed test and measurement instruments. They are available at Mouser Electronics.
