Sensor solutions to meet the challenges of the future at CES
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2019, ams will showcase several different technologies for the mobile devices, computing, consumer electronics and automotive sectors.
Environmental sensor saves space and power
The Bosch Sensortec BME680 four-in-one environmental sensor and associated shuttle board that simplifies product creation is available at RS Components. The sensor integrates temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas sensing for energy-conscious, cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications.
SWS steering wheel sensor for warehouse trucks
The SWS Steering Wheel Sensor, has been introduced by Allied Motion Technologies, a compact steer-by-wire steering wheel feedback sensor designed specifically for warehouse vehicles like reach, counterbalance, and lift trucks. Steering wheels can be mounted directly to the SWS and connected to a CAN bus.
Sensor powers high speed image processing in compact device
SICK has pushed forward the boundaries of 3D vision inspection in a wide range of industrial applications with the launch of the SICK Ranger3 camera, thanks to a breakthrough CMOS sensor that powers unprecedented high speed image processing in a compact device. SICK’s Ranger3 high definition streaming camera is the first to be powered by SICK’s innovative Imager with ROCC (Rapid On-Chip Calculation technology).
Smart bus stop designed to improve safety in public places
Teleste has built a smart and safe bus stop at the Nokia Campus in Espoo, Finland, as a part of the LuxTurrim5G ecosystem. The bus stop has been designed to improve safety and security for public places through Teleste’s newly launched Connected Zone concept that was introduced in October during Teleste’s Security Seminar in Sweden, where the concept will continue to be developed and tested as a part of Teleste’s Smart...
Does winter driving make you anxious?
The most challenging driving season is ahead of us, and the arrival of winter makes many of us uneasy about driving. Statistically, inexperienced drivers are many times more likely to have a traffic accident. Even newcomers can enjoy driving when their car and tires are in good condition.
Partnership for advanced LiDAR sensing technology
It has been announced by AID-Autonomous Intelligent Driving, a wholly owned subsidiary of AUDI AG and the ‘center of excellence’ for urban autonomous driving in the Volkswagen Group, that they are entering a partnership with Luminar Technologies to deploy its LiDAR technology.
Strengthening autonomous trust on the road
According to recent data from AAA, 73% of American drivers are too afraid to ride in fully self-driving vehicles and 63% of US adults feel less safe sharing the road with self-driving vehicles while walking or cycling. By Lakshmi Mandyam, VP automotive, Arm
IMUs enhance navigation in IoT devices
The ADIS1647x precision industrial inertial measurement units (IMUs) from Analog Devices are in stock at Mouser Electronics. New additions to Analog Devices’ line of MEMS IMUs, the ADIS1647x IMUs deliver improvements to navigation and safety in industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), smart agriculture, and autonomous vehicles.
Eliminating one of the biggest fire hazards this Christmas
Overheating problems for battery chargers has become an increasingly common safety issue - especially at Christmas - causing fires at home at personal risk and dire costs for private persons as well as insurance companies. Industry expert, Niklas Kvist explains how a new IR sensor can be the solution around the festive period.
