MCU & sensor technologies enable smart audio device
STMicroelectronics has announced that it has contributed to the development of the Prizm smart audio device, which automatically plays songs based on the number of people in the room, their music tastes and habits, and even the time of day and ambient noise levels. ST’s MCU and sensor technologies enable Prizm’s smart audio and touch interactions.
Micro-SD card increases capacity by 56% to 200GB
SanDisk kicked off Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by launching the 200GB* SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card. Keeping pace with the demands of mobile users, the new card provides the ability to capture, save and share photos, videos and other files without worrying about storage limitations.
One more step towards a quantum leap in computing
In order to develop future quantum computer networks, it is necessary to hold a known number of atoms and read them without them disappearing. To do this, researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have developed a method with a trap that captures the atoms along an ultra thin glass fibre, where the atoms can be controlled. The results are published in the scientific journal, Physical Review Letters.
Graphical sampling integrated into digital multimeter
Citing a market trend for more accurate low power measurements, Keithley Instruments has launched a graphical sampling digital multimeter. “The time to market pressure on engineers is relentless,” says Peter Bachmeyer, Technical Marketing Manager, EMEA, Keithley Instruments. “Typically with a digital multimer, the engineer only sees a numerical display of test results. They want more.”
Development programme supports thread mesh networking protocol
As a founding member of Thread Group, Freescale has launched its Thread beta development programme, making its Thread software and evaluation platform available to select developers. Encouraging adoption of the Thread IP-based mesh networking protocol, Freescale aims to create a better way to connect devices in the home.
ISA and Automation Federation applaud kickoff of 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition, encourage their members to participate and contribute in FIRST programs
Nearly 75,000 high-school students on approximately 3,000 teams at 107 venues around the globe joined the kickoff event this past Saturday of the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) via live Comcast NBCUniversal broadcast.
Kickstarter crowdfunding enables ARM-based innovations
This year’s festive season gift list will feature more startup-invented products than ever. The likes of the Pebble watch, the Kano computer and the 360cam were all created by tiny companies using widely-available development kits with crowd sourced funding, raising the question: “Should this year’s gift be the mass produced must-have present off the production line or should it be the chance to invent next year’s sensatio...
PCB profiling system features at Tech Forum
KIC will showcase the affordable and easy-to-use ProBot automatic profiling system at the SMTA Intermountain (Utah) Expo & Tech Forum (Oct 23) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT. The ProBot automatically measures the profile for each PCB and verifies whether each PCB is processed to specification in the reflow oven.
