Easy-to-use GNSS module leverages proven Teseo III chip
STMicroelectronics has made its Teseo III satellite-navigation receiver accessible to a wider designer community by introducing the Teseo-LIV3F module, which integrates essential features to speed application development and also adds up to 16Mbit of Flash memory for firmware updating or data logging without a backup battery.Highly regarded by experts in automotive and industrial sectors, ST’s Teseo III multi-constellation receiver combines...
Power fuses successfully recertified for space applications
SCHURTER and the European Space Agency (ESA) have a long and intensive cooperation in research and development. SCHURTER has been the exclusive supplier of fuses for a decade. The biennial recertification also took place in 2018 without any complaints.
Improving the security of cars with the help of GPS
The car industry is thriving and there are more vehicles on the roads every year. Despite the constant efforts of the manufacturers to improve the built-in security measures on new cars, vehicle theft is still a major issue. With a greater variety of vehicles to choose from, car thieves are busier than ever in the recent years. Author:Ekim Saribardak, Web Development Director, Rewire Security
Multi-million pound work on UK alternative to Galileo
UK industry will benefit from a £92m injection to design a national alternative to the EU’s Galileo satellite system, ensuring UK security post Brexit.The money has been allocated from the £3bn Brexit readiness fund announced at last year’s Budget and will be rolled out over the coming months.Satellite navigation systems like GPS are increasingly important for commercial, military and other critical applications, from guid...
High speed signal processing radiation tolerant FPGAs
Wholly owned subsidiary of Microchip Technology, Microsemi Corporation, has announced its RTG4 high speed signal processing radiation tolerant field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have achieved Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class V qualification by the Defence Logistics Agency (DLA).
Connectivity framework for aquaculture IIoT platform selected
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity company, Real-Time Innovations (RTI), has announced that Norwegian-based SHM has selected RTI Connext DDS as the connectivity framework for FiiZK, the first global IIoT platform designed for the aquaculture ecosystem.
High accuracy PXI RTD simulator modules
Modular signal switching and simulation products, Pickering Interfaces, has launched its model 40-263 PXI RTD simulator module range that provides a cost-effective method of simulating PT100, PT500 or PT1000 RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) with high accuracy.
Optics for ultrafast cameras create possibilities for imaging
MIT researchers have developed novel photography optics that capture images based on the timing of reflecting light inside the optics, instead of the traditional approach that relies on the arrangement of optical components. These new principles, the researchers say, open doors to new capabilities for time- or depth-sensitive cameras, which are not possible with conventional photography optics.
Parker Solar Probe will fly into The Sun’s atmosphere
NASA has launched a bold mission to fly directly into the sun’s atmosphere, with a spacecraft named the Parker Solar Probe, after solar astrophysicist Eugene Parker. The incredibly resilient vessel, vaguely shaped like a lightbulb the size of a small car, was launched early in yesterday morning from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Its trajectory will aim straight for the sun, where the probe will come closer to the solar surfac...
DDC’s single board computer chosen for robotic mission
It has been announced by Data Device Corporation (DDC) that the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), developer of the robotic servicing payload for RSGS, has chosen DDC’s SCS750 Single Board Computer (SBC) for use on the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) program for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
