High resolution image sensors with NIR+ for improved night vision
ON Semiconductor has introduced the first CMOS image sensors to feature its Near Infra-Red+ (NIR+) technology, which effectively combines High Dynamic Range (HDR) with enhanced low light performance to enable high-end security and surveillance cameras.The AR0522 is a 1/2.5-inch 5.1 Megapixel (MP) image sensor based on a 2.2 micrometer (μm) Back Side Illuminated (BSI) pixel technology platform, developed for industrial applications that require...
Smart window displays view to blind passengers
Some of the best parts of road trips is the incredible views and scenes you get to see, from rolling hills to mountain ranges, but for blind passengers this is part of the experience that they miss.A prototype smart car window aims to change this – by enabling blind or partially-sighted people to visualise passing scenery through touch.
High speed quality checks down to high-performance camera testing
Whether sauces, snacks or ready meals have to be filled and packaged, high throughput and quick format changes matter in the packaging systems and food industry, and to the highest standards of quality and hygiene, too. For this purpose, the sensors used have to be able to do one thing above all: meet high demands for power, flexibility and hygiene all at the same time.
Compact slim stepper motor has high motor power and torque
JVL Industri Elektronik A/S has introduced a new compact and slim stepper motor. The new ServoStep integrated stepper motor series MIS171 to MIS176 have a NEMA 17 42x42mm flange and include controller with 6 different industrial Ethernet protocols, absolute multiturn encoder, closed loop and M12 connectors. This new motor family is based on the latest microprocessor and cooling technology and an advancement compared to previous designs.
How lighting sensors can help keep people safe
Increasing safety in Graz's Volksgarten is a key goal of both the local authorities and the 'GEMEINSAM.SICHER in Graz'association. Together with Zumtobel Group Services (ZGS), they have launched a pilot project to install intelligent luminaires in part of the public garden in the Austrian city, using vandal-resistant fittings that deliver high light levels and smart connectivity.
Next-gen CoB LEDs offer five percent greater efficiency
A range of fourth generation chip-on-board (CoB) LEDs has been introduced byLumileds. The company claims that the LUXEON CoB Core Range leads the market in efficacy and quality of light. With the new LUXEON CoB Core Range, Lumileds sets a new standard with five percent greater efficacy than the nearest competitors. Efficiency is not compromised at high colour rendering index.
LOPEC 2018 Technical Conference: ‘Smart and hybrid systems’
Electronic Specifier recently attended the international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry, LOPEC 2018. Here, we report on the Technical Conference, ‘Smart and hybrid systems’, which had keynote speakers from ABInBev, TactoTek, American Semiconductor and CeNTI.
Are electronic components a pawn in trade disputes?
In this article, Adam Fletcher, Chairman of the Electronic Components Supply Network (ecsn) and International Distribution of Electronics Association (IDEA) - provides an insight into the issue of electronic components and examines the possible implications for electronic components markets.
Making LEDs with optimised colour quality
A team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has used data mining and computational tools to discover a new phosphor material for white LEDs that is inexpensive and easy to make. Researchers built prototype white LED light bulbs using the new phosphor. The prototypes exhibited bettercolour quality than many commercial LEDs currently on the market.Researchers published the new phosphor in the journalJoule.
Evaluation kit simplifies automotive LED light design
The ISELED Alliance has launched a new evaluation kit for ISELED, a digital smart RGB LED solution for automotive ambient lighting.The evaluation kit allows developers to quickly build and prototype ISELED solutions, thereby significantly reducing development time. Custom lighting effects can be easily programmed using the supplied software suite from Lucie Labs and tested on the kit’s 16 RGB LEDs. Optical measurements can be carried out to...
