Automotive lighting systems gearing towards vehicular safety
Early automotive lighting solutions and vehicular systems were much simpler than the ones available at present. Cars had fewer switches, directional lights switched on focused on the desired spot and should the bulbs fail, horns from passing vehicles would alert the drivers that they were about to be blindsided. However, earlier car lighting systems were significantly less reliable than the new automotive lighting solutions of the present, which ...
Automated tyre tread monitoring system launched
Tyrata has announced that it will be deploying its automated tire tread monitoring system at the Durham, NC bus depot, in cooperation with the Durham City Transit Company and Continental. In this test programme, Tyrata’s IntelliTread Drive-Over System (DOS) will measure and evaluate Durham buses’ tire tread depth to provide actionable tire maintenance information.
Multi-sensor IoT solution enhances workplace safety
Arrow Electronics has teamed up with ON Semiconductor and original design manufacturer Geniatech to develop MuSeOn 1.1, an industrial, proof-of-concept workplace safety solution. MuSeOn 1.1 is a Multi-Sensor-Online wearable device based on ON Semiconductor`s RSL10 Sensor Development Kit.
Embedded firewall to protect automotive systems
By 2022, more than two-thirds of new cars on US roads will have online connections to their safety-critical system, putting them at risk of deadly hacks (Consumer Watchdog report, July 2019) to vehicles’ ‘head’ systems, used primarily for infotainment, GPS navigation, and other features.
Boost automotive electrification with first inductive position sensor
ams has introduced an inductive position sensor for high-speed, automotive and industrial electric motors to be available as a standard product on the open market. New rotor position sensing solutions based on the AS5715 can match the accuracy and latency of resolvers widely used in high-speed motor applications, while providing substantial savings in bill-of-materials cost, size and weight.
Precision Labs - Temperature sensors: How to monitor die temperature
Die temperature of a high performance processors such as a CPUs, GPUs, ASICs, and FPGAs not only initiate a safe system shutdown, but also enable systems to dynamically adjust its performance or control fan speed in the system.
