Fighting insecurity, gig work and AI in the workplace
The public debate on the future of work has centred so far on the likely shape of the workplace and its implications for both employers and employees. There has been far less focus on what this might mean for workers’ health, safety and wellbeing. When wellbeing has been considered, the discussion has centred on the present, rather than preparing us for the challenges of the future.
Infineon highlights power electronics portfolio at APEC 2018
Power semiconductor technologies based on advanced GaN, SiC and Si will share the spotlight in the Infineon Technologies exhibit at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC). From 4th-8thMarch 2018, Infineon will showcase energy-efficient, reliable and cost effective semiconductor system solutions that contribute to a better future. The exhibit (booth 701) takes place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas.
IMU improves virtual and augmented reality applications
At electronica China in Shanghai, Bosch Sensortec has launched the BMI085, a high-performance 6-axis IMU. The BMI085 integrates a 3-axis, 16-bit MEMS acceleration sensor and a 3-axis, 16-bit MEMS gyroscope in a single compact package.This powerful IMU is ideally suited for demanding VR and AR applications as well as other applications, such as navigation, body/human motion tracking and high-end gaming.
Bringing GaN on silicon to mainstream RF markets
Supplier of high-performance RF, microwave, millimetre-wave and lightwave semiconductor products,MACOM, and STMicroelectronics have announced an agreement to develop GaN (Gallium Nitride) on Silicon wafers to be manufactured by ST for MACOM's use across an array of RF applications. While expanding MACOM's source of supply, the agreement also grants to ST the right to manufacture and sell its own GaN on Silicon products in RF markets outside of mo...
Efficiency is key to cost-effective data storage
Protecting the systems that store data and ensuring constant, high power supply at low acquisition and operating costs is a significant challenge for design engineers, says Armin Derpmanns, general manager, solution marketing at Toshiba Electronics Europe
Supporting customers affected by obsolete microelectronics
Provider of high-temperature and extended lifetime semiconductor solutions, CISSOID, has announced its readiness in supporting customers affected by the Last-Time-Buy (LTB) announcement by Honeywell for its High Temperature Microelectronics Products and releases a cross-reference table for CISSOID equivalent parts, all rated from -55 to 225°C and also available as bare die.
Test lab for power components opens in Germany
With the introduction of its newly established European 'Power Lab', ROHM Semiconductor has demonstrated the deployment of its global strategy on the power semiconductor market in Europe. The company's mission statement has been 'Quality is our top priority' for 60 years, and the newpower electronics lab confirms this high standard.
Sick creates an 'appy' vision
Returning to the UKIVA Machine Vision Conference, SICK will be bringing the news of its pioneering AppSpace programming environment and how the concept is starting to bear fruit for automation and robotics development.At last year’s event, SICK successfully launched AppSpace, an open software platform that allows free and flexible customisation of applications on SICK programmable sensors and devices.
High speed doors improve energy saving and efficiency
In the past few years energy costs have sky rocketed and as they continue to, business owners and managers are keen to cut avoidable heat losses. Here, Nick Cox, Area Sales Manager for sara LBS (Loading Bay Specialists), explains how industrial doors are continuing to help save energy and boost productivity for warehouses and distribution centres.
Next-gen photoelectric sensors pilot the future of sensing
SICK’s next-gen W16 and W26 smart sensors with ‘BluePilot’ alignment are at the helm of a streamlined portfolio of photoelectric sensors, radically-upgraded to optimise ease-of-use with complete object detection reliability.The W16 and W26 proximity, reflex and through-beam sensors are manufactured at a purpose-built, fully-automated production facility in southern Germany. They mark the culmination of a two-year, multi-million ...
