These new piezo actuators with integrated sensor functionality feature exceptional acceleration, force and response time performance to offer quality haptic feedback for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in vehicles, smartphones and tablets, household appliances, ATMs and vending machines, game controllers, industrial equipment and medical devices.
Cars will soon be able to deliver themselves
Nowdays, a vehicle is moved about 25 times manually before it reaches the end customer. However, new research shows how cars can be transported through the logistics chain without a driver. The system was developed by Semcon in collaboration with seven other companies. A prototype is already up and running.
SAR proximity sensor controls human RF exposure
The SX9310 SAR proximity sensor from Semtech is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The SX9310 is a smart sensing solution that enables smartphone and tablet manufacturers to help protect users from potentially harmful radio frequency (RF) exposure. The SAR proximity sensorregulates RF exposure to reduce specific absorption rate (SAR) — the measure of RF power that is radiated into the human body when in close proximity to a connected device.
Flow sensors designed for laboratory automation
The BE-A range of flow sensors from Panasonic Electric Works Europe are now available from distributor Conrad Business Supplies. The new sensors have been specially developed for laboratory automation. During the automatic dosing process of liquids, the highly reliable sensors detect air bubbles or liquid.
