Micropower magnetic node offers contactless 3D sensing
The Belgium-based global supplier of micro-electronic semiconductor solutions, Melexishas announced the MLX90395 Triaxis Magnetometer Node, an automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) monolithic sensor that uses the Hall effect to provide contactless 3D sensing in three dimensions. The dual-die version of the MLX90395 provides redundancy for demanding scenarios, such as gear lever position sensing in automotive applications. The functionality of the MLX90395 ...
Duolink SpeakerBuds: Play music in more ways
The wireless headphone space is becoming increasingly competitive, but imagine having a pair that when not in use can transform into a portable speaker - so when you are not listening to music by yourself you can listen out loud with others.That is exactly what Duolink has designed with their new SpeakerBuds, which has recently launched on Kickstarter.
Shielding the Solar Orbiter against extreme heat
Last February, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter started a two-year journey to provide the first detailed pictures of the sun’s poles and insights about the never-before-observed magnetic environment that regulates the sun’s 11-year solar cycle. But how can a satellite move around the sun without burning?
Extended temp range LAN transformer for industrial IoT
Specifically for IIoT applications Elec&Eltek Magnetic Products have announced the availability of their range of extended temp range 1000Base-T, PoE, LAN transformer. The upper operating temp of these parts is +155°C. They are supplied in a compact 24pin package. The A20-00024F is likely to be the first in a series of parts

OMRON HD-1500 mobile robot with 1,500kg payload capacity
OMRON has announced the launch of the HD-1500, the strongest and newest addition to the company’s series of mobile robots. The new HD-1500 boasts a heavy payload capacity of up to 1,500kg.
Smart bearings: The demise of slow-comotives
According to the TUC, the average rail commute in the UK takes an average of 2 hours and 11 minutes, each day. Also add to the equation that, in 2018, more than one third of trains failed to arrive at stations on time due to technical faults, and you’re left with one very miserable commuter.Chris Johnson, Managing Director ofSMB Bearings, considers the future adoption of smart bearings and their impact on Industry 4.0 and the UK.
Suppressing acoustic noise in switched-mode power supplies
When sitting in a car, the engine noise we experience is something completely normal. After all, the engine compartment contains a machine with moving parts in it. In fact, manufacturers of cars and other products actually have entire research departments dedicated to tinkering around with (and creating) pleasurable sound experiences. However, as Rolf Horn, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explains, it is a different situation with s...
TI launches zero-drift Hall-effect current sensors
Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced zero-drift Hall-effect current sensors. The TMCS1100 and TMCS1101 enable the low drift and high accuracy over time and temperature while providing reliable 3kVrms isolation, which is especially important for AC or DC high-voltage systems such as industrial motor drives, solar inverters, energy-storage equipment and power supplies.
Modern clamping systems for power semiconductor tests
Power semiconductor devices have many parameters and characteristics that must be measured using specialized equipment. Design of such equipment must account for many factors such as reliability, flexibility, ergonomics, and attention to overall aesthetics. This article describes the steps of development and research carried out to design a clamping system for disc semiconductors and analyzes the encountered issues. A number of technical solution...
