Custom chip delivers tablet touch to the telly
Development of a custom IC for ZRRO Technologies to help produce an innovative new remote controller that brings tablet and mobile phone-like gaming experiences to users’ televisions was expedited by a team from Arrow Electronics. The Kickstarter-funded project incorporates ZRRO’s zTOUCH 3D-sensing technology and enables users to interact with their TVs from the couch using a hover-and-touch remote controller with the sensing capabili...
Fine-tune your running technique
A wearable device for runners that goes beyond measuring basic stats such as pace or speed to measuring each foot’s ground-contact time and heel-contact time has been developed by Kinematix. TUNE is the first in-shoe wearable that monitors both feet at the same time to retrieve these parameters.
Worlds collide: 3D printing & printed electronics
In 2012 a tsunami of media hype began around consumer 3D printing that turned a lacklustre 30-year-old technology into a household name and created massive growth in the industry even among large established players. The same pattern of hype is about to repeat with the advent of consumer-level 3D printed electronics. This represents the collision of the multi-billion dollar markets for printed electronics and 3D printing. The impact this will hav...
Wearable provides real time feedback
Steps, calories and the prescribed hours of sleep are all well and good, but can a fitness wearable actually push you harder and to your peak performance? Moov believes so. This is the first wearable device that provides real-time feedback with actionable insight into every workout so that users not only know the number of miles they’ve run, but how to improve every movement.

Molex congratulates Nelson Piquet for his FIA Formula E performance
Molex is pleased to congratulate Nelson Piquet Jr, son of the former Formula One World Champion, for his first place finish in the FIA Formula E Championship, the world's first fully-electric racing series, along with his team NEXTEV TCR, who stand fourth in the constructors’ ranking.
Amplifying small motions in large motions
For several years now, the research groups of MIT professors of computer science and engineering William Freeman and Frédo Durand have been investigating techniques for amplifying movements captured by video but indiscernible to the human eye. Versions of their algorithms can make the human pulse visible and even recover intelligible speech from the vibrations of objects filmed through soundproof glass.
Protect 1- & 2-cell lithium batteries while charging
Offering a compact, bi-directional low-loss switch for battery-charging circuits, the DMN2014LHAB and DMN2011UFX dual N-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The devices are designed for use in chargers for portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, cameras and media players, which use 1- and 2-cell lithium batteries.
