STMicroelectronics has introduced its IIS3DWB vibration sensor and supporting STEVAL-STWINK1 multi-sensor evaluation kit that can accelerate the development of condition-monitoring systems that boost productivity by inferring equipment maintenance needs. The owners can create strategies that maximize uptime, minimize servicing costs, and avoid emergency repairs with the help…

A team of researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new multi-directional tactile sensor to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands. Named OmniTact, the sensor uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be…

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new framework for adaptive task allocation during missions assigned to be completed by multiple robots. Based on the unique capabilities and characteristics of the robots, the framework helps in assigning them the tasks.  

The framework is based on a task allocation…

TDK Corporation has introduced the EZA2500W-32048 bi-directional DC-DC converter model to its EZA series, which is designed for an energy storage system with rechargeable batteries. The new 2500W converter is digitally controlled and the compact U1 power supply can change the conversion direction from high voltage DC sources, powered by solar or wind to 48Vdc batteries and…

STMicroelectronics has come up with high-speed image sensors that use a global shutter for capturing distortion-free images when in motion or when near-infrared illumination is required. The new sensors namely VD55G0 with 640 x 600 pixels and the VD56G3 with 1.5 Mpixels (1124 x 1364) measure 2.6mm x 2.5mm and 3.6mm x 4.3mm, respectively. This makes them…

The Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced a new Renesas Solution Starter Kit (RSSK) for developers working with the 32-bit RX23E-A Microcontroller (MCU) by bringing together hardware, software and tools optimized for evaluating the MCU’s high-precision 24-bit delta-sigma (ΔΣ) A/D converter with industry-leading accuracy. The RSSK was designed to optimize the…

Hyundai Mobis has developed an ‘in-cabin safety alert system’ for accurately sensing the children in the rear seats. Using radar sensors, the system helps in preventing babies from dying from vehicular heatstroke and safety accidents. The in-cabin sensor technology is an infrastructure technology that is capable of improving the detection accuracy and provides passenger…

The spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus is a fluid situation that is threatening lives at a much faster pace than we could have thought about. The deadly coronavirus outbreak has pushed the medical community around the world to quickly adopt technical solutions as medical assistants. To stop the spread of the infection, various medtech companies are coming up with robots and…

MORNSUN has extended its K78 series with the K78_3AR3 a new 3A output non-isolated switching regulator with an ultra-wide input voltage range of 8-36V. With the high efficiency of 97% and 2mA, no-load input current, the new device can operate at a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without a heat sink. 

With characteristics such as continuous…

Saelig has introduced Micsig STO1000E PLUS, a series of 2/4 channel battery-powered portable oscilloscopes that provide bandwidths up to 150MHz with 70Mpts memory, 1GSa/s sampling (single channel) 130,000wfm/s refresh rate, and a 7.5Ah Li-battery for extended field use. The series includes three models: STO1102E PLUS 2-channel 100MHz, STO1152E PLUS 150MHz 2-channel, and…

STMicroelectronics has introduced the SRK1001 secondary-side synchronous rectification controller that is available with adaptive features that cut bill-of-materials costs, minimize circuit size, and simplify the design of power adapters, chargers, USB Power Delivery outlets, and lighting power supplies based on flyback topologies. The controller has been designed for fast…
