Wireless heart rate monitor reference design for consumer wearables
Read more
This reference design is a simple, wearable, multi-parameter, patient monitor that uses a single-chip, biosensing front end, the AFE4900 device, for synchronised electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements. The measured data is transferred to a remote location using the CC2640R2F device (supporting BLE 4.2 and 5).

COVID-19 causing a rethink of manufacturing processes
Read more
A new study has shown that manufacturers must redesign and reform their manufacturing processes if they want to survive and prosper in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus’ impact demonstrates that global manufacturing concerns must switch from large production sites in a single location, such as China, to numerous smaller facilities around the world to reduce business risk.

Are robot swarms about to become a reality?
Read more
Scientists are looking for ways to make robot swarms from millions of molecule-sized robots which can perform multiple tasks simultaneously. A review in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials explained that multi-disciplinary research has led to the innovative fabrication of molecule-sized robots. Scientists are now advancing their efforts to make these robots interact and work together in the millions.

One-phase shunt electricity meter reference design
Read more
This reference design implements Class 0.5 single-phase energy measurement using standalone multi-channel analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to sample a shunt current sensor. With the combination of the shunt sensor and a compact magnetically immune power supply, the design provides protection against magnetic tampering attacks.

Five steps to keep automation up and running
Read more
The high productivity and throughput achieved by implementing automated processes is a key benefit to manufacturers considering a transition from more manual approaches. Down-time due to planned or unplanned maintenance can quickly negate efficiencies if production processes are halted for too long. Every second an automated production is offline costs money, which soon adds up. In this article, TME reviews different maintenance strategies and outlines steps engineers can take to keep their automation line up and running.

Platform to propel corporate technology and innovation
Read more
Technology and innovation is adapting faster with no signs of slowing down. With this fast-paced environment, innovation is in need of better platforms to support its growth. Corporations today are facing extensive challenges in getting new innovative ideas to market. ​According to ​Harvard Business School​ ​professor​ ​Clayton Christensen​, ​there are over 30,000 new products introduced every year, and 95 percent fail​, resulting in huge amounts of time wasted on failed concepts. However, corporations are now looking toward new ways to greatly reduce their lead time as well as expanding their horizons beyond their current business models.

Micropower magnetic node offers contactless 3D sensing
Read more
The Belgium-based global supplier of micro-electronic semiconductor solutions, Melexis has announced the MLX90395 Triaxis Magnetometer Node, an automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) monolithic sensor that uses the Hall effect to provide contactless 3D sensing in three dimensions. The dual-die version of the MLX90395 provides redundancy for demanding scenarios, such as gear lever position sensing in automotive applications. The functionality of the MLX90395 is defined through the system processor, rather than hardwired into the device itself.
