The Japanese start-up company FOVE offers users a Virtual Reality (VR) headset that integrates eye tracking as a novel means of interaction. Tiny ChipLEDs from Osram Opto Semiconductors provide the infrared illumination to track the user’s direction of gaze and eye movements.

IC manufacturers are increasing efforts to maximise fabrication plants using 300 and 200mm diameter silicon substrates because the prospects of large 450mm wafers are going nowhere. The number of 300mm wafer production-class fabs in operation worldwide is expected to increase each year between now and 2021 to reach 123 compared to 98 in 2016, according to the forecast in IC Insights’Global Wafer Capacity 2017-2021report.

ISELED has announced that Valeo has joined it as its new member.Valeo will take place alongside the other partners of the ISELED alliance: Inova Semiconductors, Dominant Opto Technologies, Lucie Labs, NXP, TE Connectivity and Pforzheim University. Valeo will bring its wealth of expertise, experience and ability to innovate to the alliance, especially in interior and ambient lighting.

A broad range of PXI and Ethernet LXI RF & Microwave switching solutions will be showcased by Pickering Interfaces at European Microwave Week (EuMW) (10 - 12 October). They will be highlighting recently released products. The PXI Microwave Multiplexers (model 40-785B) were recently expanded by Pickering with new 50GHz versions.

Plessey has announced the results from a trial of its LED grow lights combined with existing high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting in a hybrid installation with a leading tomato grower in the Netherlands.The seven-month trial, managed by Maarten Klein, Plessey’s Head Agronomist, has been running since the end of November 2016 at Gebr. Koot BV of the Prominent Group, to assess the benefits of adding LED to existing HPS lighting compared to jus...

LG Innotek has introduced the world’s first 70 mW UVC LED, developedfor sterilisation.LG Innotek once again set the benchmark for the design of UVC LEDs and rose to the challenge of achieving 70mW – the largest amount of power possible to date – out of a single element. The other parameters, such as If and Vf, have not changed from previous models: the improved light emission is based on new LED chip technology.

All toys distributed and marketed in the EU, electronic or not, must comply with the requirements of the EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. This defines the minimum safety requirements for all toys. In addition, the directive also defines a number of properties specific to electrical and electronic toys.

A portfolio of UVB and UVC LEDs from RayVio are available for immediate shipment globally through Digi-Key Electronics as the result of a new distribution agreement. RayVio is a leader in UV LEDs, specialising in UVB and UVC technology. This emerging technology within the UV lighting industry is being harnessed to both protect people from infection and treat certain skin conditions.

Sheet metal working machine manufacturer, Bystronic, has launched a new press brake that can be moved around a factory by fork lift truck. In a footprint of less than three square metres, it offers a bending capacity of 80 tonnes over 1.5m.Called Xpert 80, it joins the smaller 40-tonne, one-metre Xpert 40 model that can be similarly repositioned and has proved popular since its introduction at the 2014 EuroBlech exhibition in Hannover.

To provide users with a versatile and economical user-configurable motion control sensor, SICK has launched the DUS60 incremental encoder and DUV60 measuring wheel encoder with DIP switch programmability.The shaft-mounted SICK DUS60 rotary incremental encoder can be installed and commissioned quickly for a wide-variety of conveying and rotation monitoring applications in automated processing and production.
