Research into connected cars byRethink’s Riot Research division has shown that consumers have little interest in connected cars.Some small number of consumers have shown interest - so far just under 16 million owners out of the 105 million plus cars which could buy services from a connected car, have actually committed monthly cash to the provision of services – under 16%.

Microsemi Corporation, provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, has announced sampling availability of the first product in its next-generation 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the 40mOhm MSC040SMA120B. The release of the complementary 1200V SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), has also been announced further expanding Microsemi's growing SiC discretes and modules portfolios.

Celebrating 15 years of supplying technology solutions for the automotive industry is Qualcomm Technologies, a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated. Qualcomm Technologies is now the number one semiconductor supplier in telematics and Bluetooth car connectivity, and all major global automakers currently use its broad portfolio of automotive solutions across telematics, infotainment and connectivity.

Of the many ways that humans make sense of our world – with our eyes, ears, nose and mouth – none is perhaps less appreciated than our tactile and versatile hands. Thanks to our sensitive fingertips, we can feel the heat before we touch the flame, or sense the softness of a newborn’s cheek.But people with prosthetic limbs live in a world without touch.

The world of agriculture is being quietly transformed by robotic technology. One question to consider is whether tractors will evolve towards full unmanned autonomy?Tractor guidance and autosteer are well-established technologies. In the short to medium terms, both will continue their growth thanks to improvements and cost reductions in RTK GPS technology. Indeed, ID TechEx estimates that around 700,000 tractors equipped with autosteer or tractor...

Enabling simple electronic marshalling of pneumatic systems is the ASCO Numatics 580 CHARMs node. Pneumatic systems are an essential part of many process plants, in industries such as chemical, life science and food and beverage, particularly those where ancillary machines are used.

Launched byLloyd’s Register (LR), theTechnology Radar 2018 'Renewable Energy' reportanalyses the sizeable renewable energy impacts in the next five years and beyond. It provides answers from industry experts on their optimism, concerns and investment outlook on tomorrow’s energy mix.

As the tech industry turns its attention once again to Las Vegas for the annual CES show, many have been disappointed by a lack of change.Gender inequality has occupied a significant amount of column inches in the US over the past six months, and this week’s Golden Globe Awards was no exception. It was therefore slightly surprising to see that all of the top six speakers at CES were male.

Europeans urgently need to find another solution, because of the ban on imports of European plastic waste impeded by China at the beginning of 2018. The EU commission, for example, is considering a ‘plastics tax’. An EU directive against lightweight plastic carrier bags has already contributed to a reduction of consumption in many countries. Until 2030, all packaging in the EU ought to be reusable and made of recyclable materials.

Developing an ‘intelligent connector’ Bulgin has successfully trialled its use in agricultural sensing and control. In a customisation project for a client, California-basedAgTech Industries, Bulgin incorporated integrated electronics into a rugged miniaturised connector for AgTech’s new smart infield telemetry system called AgriCapture.
