Researchers Xin Li and Kaige Shi have developed a zero-pressure difference (ZPD) method that can enhance the development of vacuum suction units. Specially designed suction units allow humans to climb up walls with ease. The suction units can be used on rough surfaces and textured walls, which will be helpful in the development of climbing robots and robotic arms with…
Rechargeable Lithium batteries play a vital role in satisfying the worlds growing portable energy demands. These low cost, compact, and lightweight batteries are the primary choices for most portable electronic devices, Electric/Hybrid Vehicles, Solar Plants, etc. However, the availability of Lithium and Cobalt is limited on the earth’s crust and relying completely on these…
The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two new fully integrated proximity sensors namely VCNL36821S and VCNL36826S. Each sensor features an IR emitter and a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) respectively. The device combines a photodiode, signal processing IC, and 12-bit ADC in a compact 2.55 mm by 2.05 mm by 1.0 mm surface-mount…
Power Integrations has introduced the AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified SID1181KQ SCALE-iDriver gate driver for 750 V-rated IGBTs. The new driver IC is compact, efficient and highly robust, and it uses high-speed FluxLink communication technology to ensure system safety in various critical conditions. The FluxLink communication technology replaces the Optocouplers and capacitive…
Ethernet is becoming more common in spacecraft to enable hardwired communication speed, support higher data rates, and facilitate interoperability between satellites and other spacecraft.
