Partnership enables 3D face recognition in any smart device
ams and artificial intelligence pioneer, MEGVII has announced that they have signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop and promote complete, plug-and-play 3D face recognition solutions for any type of smart consumer or commercial device.
Pulsed laser diodes and APD arrays from a single provider
LASER COMPONENTS is a reliable manufacturer of both ultrafast pulsed laser diodes and highly-sensitive avalanche photodiodes, thus covering both key technologies of high-performance LiDAR systems. Carmakers and other companies all over the world are currently working hard to bring the idea of self-driving cars to the 5th level.
ROM-based GNSS module targets mass-market tracking
STMicroelectronics has enlarged its GNSS product offering with the Teseo-LIV3R ROM-based module. The competitively-priced module provides ST’s full GNSS algorithm capability for cost-conscious tracking and navigation devices.
Whitepapers cover industrial technology applications
Three whitepapers to help design engineers take advantage of the latest technologies that optimise industrial applications and environments have been published by TTI. The papers explore machine vision and the way it is applied to user interfaces, discuss cobotics as an enabler for increased production flexibility and look at the role of sensor technology in improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring.
How do pressure sensors in water pump designs work?
Sensata Technologies has published a new white paper that shows how new technology water pumps with pressure sensors are meeting the needs of 21st Century living. Distributing water on a large scale has been a challenge that the world has tackled for decades. It is a particular challenge in high-rise buildings, and with a trend for designers to build up in urban areas, rather than out, it is a challenge that has become a new focus for design engi...
Ultra-compact high accuracy earthquake detection sensor
ROHM has announced the availability of an ultra-compact high accuracy seismic detection sensor module, BP3901, which is well suited for applications requiring reliable earthquake detection, such as automatic doors, unmanned transport vehicles, and smart meters.
Sensor brings high angle accuracy at low magnetic fields
For the Sensor+Test trade fair, Infineon Technologies is expanding its sensor portfolio by a new family of AMR-based angle sensors. XENSIV TLE5109A16 products address the need for very precise, fast and yet cost-efficient angle measurement at the highest functional safety levels in automotive and industrial applications.
Episode #1 - Sensor+Test round-up
Electronic Specifier’s Mick Elliott reports from the press office at a very hot Nuremberg to get the low-down from this year’s Sensor+Test show.
The Sensor Show: your 2020 vision
As the IoT spreads - it is connecting devices, spaces, buildings, communities, cities, and national networks as well as revolutionising manufacturing through smart factories, digital twins and production automation. Sensors are helping to transform our world, gathering data about the environment and how goods or services are actually being produced and used. With this data, better, safer, more efficient and sustainable services and products can b...
Humidity and temperature module targets OEMs
A humidity and temperature module for climate and environmental chamber customers is being featured by Vaisala at Sensor + Test in Nuremberg (June 25-27). The HMM170 is optimised specifically for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to bring reliable humidity measurement in very demanding environments with easy integration and compact size.
