Featuring high precision current measurement, SPI connectivity and functional safety management features for hydraulic and pneumatic systems control, the SB0410 and SB0800 SoCs have been introduced by Freescale Semiconductor.

Production of biogas from silage maize is booming, but also has its drawbacks. Maize monocultures block increasingly large areas for food production and result in a monotonous landscape. Unused grass from landscaping is an ecological alternative to maize, if economic drawbacks are compensated, reveals a recent study by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Hohenheim, which focused on locations in Baden-Württemberg.
