Verotec has worked closely with a UK-based motion systems integrator on a project to deliver a scanning head and its associated high precision motion and gearbox drive package to a portable radar unit manufacturer. The control equipment for the scanning head is housed in a custom designed, vertically mounted Veroshield EMC screened rack case.

Using hardware-based data analysis and reduction technology, Spectrum has created new firmware options that allow its high-speed M4i series digitiser cards to perform peak detection and output the corresponding statistical data. The M4i series cards offer real-time sampling rates of up to 500 MS/s with 14 bit resolution and 250 MS/s with 16 bit resolution.

While much of the technology required to realise self-driving cars is now available, Steve Rogerson looks at what still needs to be done.

dSPACE has introduced a new processor board for real-time systems, the DS1007 PPC Processor Board. The DS1007 handles demanding computing requirements for developing control systems for complex modern applications.Control engineers developing complex applications - electric drives, autonomous systems and vehicles, active noise suppression, etc. - require high computation power and very fast I/O access. These applications require a high-speed, clo...

Pulse Electronics Corporation has introduced the HOT ROD product family of I-Bar chokes for automotive networks, a new concept to provide EMC/EMI protection for automotive electronics. The new line of I-Bar HOT ROD chokes are optimized to meet Broadcom Corporation's BroadR-Reach Automotive Ethernet technology for mode conversion up to 400 MHz. The first part in the series, the AE2000, meets the need for the current generation of 100 Mbps BroadR-R...

Continental and HERE have announced that they will intensify their collaboration in bringing the Connected Car to life. Revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, USA, the companies will focus on future Automated Driving functionalities, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and the Electronic Horizon.

Agilent Technologies has extended its next generation of high-speed digitisers supporting custom on-board signal processing capability with the U5309A 8-bit PCIe digitiser sampling up to 2GS/s. The digitiser and the U5340A FPGA development kit were announced six months ago to address the needs of OEM applications such as mass spectrometry time-of-flight, lidar ranging, pulsed radar and ultrasonic imaging.

Advanced positioning sensors and imagery is enabling subterranean mineshaft inspection without risking safety, while minimising downtime. By Jesse Bonfeld, Vice President of Business Development for Sherborne Sensors, & Borys Vorobyov, CEO and CTO of Sight Power.

Oclaro’s HL63142DG high power red laser diode is the first ever high power laser diode to offer an inbuilt monitor photodiode at a lasing wavelength of 637nm. It is a unique design which enables system designers to control optical power output by monitoring the photodiode current and adjusting power variants and temperature for precise control and constant performance.

Sherborne Sensors has announced that its DSIC inclinometers and A323 accelerometers are being used to provide highly-accurate, geo-reference position data as part of an innovative automated mineshaft inspection technology. Based on LiDAR technology and high-resolution photography, the Mobile Shaft Scanning System being developed by Canada’s Sight Power Inc. combines three core elements – Lasers, Global Positioning System, and Inertial...
