Infineon acquires Innoluce BV
Microelectronics from Infineon Technologies AG is a key technology for automated and connected driving. As leading chip provider for driver assistance systems, Infineon continues its innovation path and has acquired 100% of Innoluce BV, a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Nijmegen. Based on the know-how of Innoluce, Infineon will develop chip components for high-performance lidar systems. Both companies agreed on confidentiality on t...
Roadway projects advance from conception through to construction
As a successor to its civil engineering brands; InRoads, GEOPAK, MX, and PowerCivil, Bentley has created OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition, and it will be available for early access on 1st December, Bentley Systems has announced. OpenRoads Designer is a multi-discipline 3D modelling application to advance the delivery of roadway projects from conceptual design through construction.
3D surround sensing
Josef Stockinger, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager, ADAS, STMicroelectronics, dispels some myths around the current expectations of autonomous driving.
Putting the pieces together in the autonomous jigsaw
Steve Rogerson looks at some of the discussions that will be coming up in the Automotive Conference at this year’s electronica as the industry prepares for autonomous vehicles.
RIO ORION narrow linewidth laser module
LASER COMPONENTS offers the RIO ORION laser module which has ultra-low phase noise and narrow linewidth, wavelength stability, low RIN, and up to 20mW output power. The ORION builds upon the performance of RIO’s PLANEX product series.
Are sensing technologies impacting our future?
Consumer applications, especially smartphones and tablets, have been the main driver of the MEMS and sensors industry for some time now. Today, a general slowdown has been clearly identified by the players and confirmed by the Yole Développement (Yole) report, Status of the MEMS Industry (Yole Développement, May 2016).
UAVs: Ruling the waves
With so much talk in the news about the autonomous vehicles that will soon be taking over the streets we drive on, let’s take a look at how autonomous vehicles have overwhelmed our Earth’s oceans too. Nicolette Emmino explains.
EuMW 2016: ADAS test demo based on mmwave technology
European Microwave Week 2016 in London provided the platform for NI to demonstrate a new millimeter wave automotive radar test system. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is designed for short- and long-range radar in the 76–81GHz range.
Sensor testing software accelerates ADAS testing
New sensor testing software called SENSOR_IG, from specialist simulator software company rFpro, can generate realistic data feeds, in real-time, for sensor models of cameras, radar, LiDAR and ultrasound sensors. It enables the entire ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) toolchain to be tested on a driving simulator with a human driver in control, significantly reducing development times and cost.
Wind farm developer look to lidars for answer
“By adding ZephIR 300 wind lidars into our anemometry programme we are proactively reducing the uncertainty associated with the wind measurement of our future wind farm developments," says Lambert Kleinjans, Project Manager – Financing and Construction - at EnergieKontor UK.
