The Information Commissioner Office (ICO) has demanded a new statutory code to govern the police use of ‘invasive’ facial recognition technology. The watchdog’s investigation follows the August incident over its use at King’s Cross station, in which it determined the technology was a potential threat to the public’s privacy.

A high precision position sensor that offers more robust performance than existing absolute encoders and better resolution and accuracy than traditional Hall effect sensors for industrial robotics and other demanding applications has been released by Vishay Intertechnology.

Now available from Components Bureau, is the MINMAX MAPU02H, a new range of high isolated two watt DC/DC converters meeting Industrial standards, offer reliable operation for critical applications in harsh environments. The new range has 24 models available for 3.3/5/9/12/15/±5/±12/±15 output, and between 4.5 and 26.4V input in a SIP-7 encapsulated package size.

The INA186-Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive, bidirectional, low-power, voltage-output, current-sense amplifier (also called a current-shunt monitor). This device is commonly used for monitoring systems directly connected to an automotive 12V battery.

Functional safety standards for self‑driving cars require redundancy in case any of the sensors - LiDAR, radar, cameras, etc. - fails. While sensors such as radar and LiDAR may provide redundancy for object detection, when it comes to cameras only a highly accurate map can serve as the source of redundancy, helping the autonomous vehicle make the right decisions by comparing their visual glimpses of the world with a map stored in memory.

u-blox has gained another high-profile endorsement for ZED-F9P, its high precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module that delivers centimetre-level accuracy within seconds. Quantum-Systems has incorporated the module in its latest electric Tron F90+ fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Trying to read the runes of the semiconductor market is no easy task right now. Malcolm Penn, CEO of research company Future Horizons isn’t shirking the challenge. Despite a rocky 2019, Penn emphasises the industry fundamentals are fine, which should speed recovery once economic confidence returns.

With just two weeks to go until the UK government implements a new digital accessibility law, many public sector bodies could still be unprepared for the change, warns a specialist design company. The new government legislation is set to come into effect on 23rd September 2019. It will require all public sector websites and apps to meet certain accessibility standards.

u-blox has announced that it recently sold its 500 millionth global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. As the only technology capable of delivering absolute position anywhere on the planet, GNSS-based positioning has found its way into a wide range of consumer, industrial, and automotive applications, allowing connected devices to efficiently qualify the origin of transmitted data with accurate time and position information.

In 1880 the first movie cameras were developed by Thomas Edison and William Dickson. The seed for video surveillance had been planted.During World War 2, miniature portable cameras appeared, making covert surveillance possible for the military.Shortly after, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) was first used in Germany to monitor the launch of V2 rockets.And the rest, as they say, is history.But the history of surveillance is far from over.
