A better standard of living associated with STEM careers
An in-depth analysis of pivotal life moments has revealed the differences between those in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) pathways versus those who have chosen other, non-STEM pathways - with some surprising results.
Designing with Peltier modules for precision thermal management
Sometimes cooling needs to be more tightly controlled than a simple heat sink and fan can manage. Rapidly fluctuating loads can make it hard to keep a component at a stable and cool temperature. However, this can often be important when trying to improve signal-to-noise performance or prevent damage to a system. By Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer at CUI Devices
Grant funding for fingerprint technology company
It has been announced that Touch Biometrix, a fingerprint technology company, has been awarded Technology and Commercial Feasibility (TCF) funding from the Welsh Governments £63.4m SMARTCymru programme.
Why no one can score against the unbeatable RoboKeeper
As the world cup kicked off in Moscow on June 14th, the German team failed to notice they were short one player, a world-class goalie. Neymar couldn’t beat him, Ronaldo failed, but the German keeper would not have conformed with the rules - it is a robot.Called ‘RoboKeeper’, the computer-controlled football machine is a development of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Materialfluss und Logistik (IML). Back in 2006, when Germany w...
Oil and gas industry embrace digitisation with smart pumps
The recent analysis from Frost & Sullivan; ‘Global Pumps Market in the Oil and Gas Industry, Forecast to 2024’ finds that there has been a concentrated focus on operational expenditure (OPEX) in the oil and gas industry following the oil price plunge in 2016. Upstream companies are increasingly acknowledging digitisation as an important enabler of cost savings and profitability, and are therefore gravitating toward tools such as s...
Fanless DC/DC ATX power supply with ultra-wide input range
Bicker Elektronik has offered with the DC161W a compact DC/DC ATX converter with cable management for individual wiring harness configurations. The compact ATX power supply solution for fanless Embedded Box PCs also has an expanded set of operating modes for in-vehicle applications, so-called vehicle ignition functions for intelligent shutdown control with deep discharge protection for vehicle battery.
Are parents putting children off STEM subjects?
New research has revealed that parents lack confidence in subjects such as Science and Maths, and this is discouraging the younger generation from pursuing those subjects at school and beyond. The study, commissioned by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), found that 43% of parents have heard their children say ‘I’m rubbish at Maths’ and 32% of parents themselves have used similar statements that they acknowledge...
Designation paves the way for QML class V qualification
Microsemi has announced its RTG4 high-speed signal processing radiation-tolerant FPGAs have achieved Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class Q qualification by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The qualification, which validates the quality and reliability of RTG4 FPGAs as well as the company's qualification and manufacturing screening processes, enables easier design of Microsemi's flash technology into space applications due to the streamlin...
A journey through the history of football technology
Brits have long been celebrated as the inventors of modern day football, although some would argue that its origins can be traced as far back as ancient China. Regardless, it’s fair to say that football has travelled bounds ever since the early days of a ball and a group of players on a field. By: Spencer Buchan, Managing Director of AVC Immedia.
How to build a radio communications network
Video might have killed the radio star, but radio communications are still quietly operating the foundations of a huge range of industries. They underpin communications for emergency services, road and rail networks, utilities firms and are the basis for new technologies, such as LTE and 5G.They work across vast areas and in complex conditions. They are robust, reliable and secure. By Mike Norfield, CEO of Simoco Wireless Solutions.
