Continental Ensures Better Road Safety with New Control Elements
To help the driver’s eyes return to the road more quickly, Continental has integrated haptic signals into touch-sensitive surfaces. At the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, the company will show how consumer electronics and infotainment are becoming more and more intertwined in vehicles.
High-Voltage Watchdog Timers Enhance Automotive System Safety
As electronic systems take over many of the mechanical functions in a car—ranging from engine timing to steering and braking—there is a growing concern about fault tolerance. There should not be a single point of failure that would prevent a car from at least limping off the road or making it to the nearest service station. Redundant systems, watchdog timers, and other control circuits are used to reroute signals and perform other functions t...
New Evolution Fire Suppression System Is A Breakthrough In Packaging And Installation
A newly evolved version of Lifeline’s widely known Zero 360 fire suppression system is set to change the game once again. The system still uses Lifeline’s unique compression discharge technology, which deploys pure extinguishant in a constant spray pattern, but the traditional mounting bracket and straps have been dispensed with and the bottle is now mounted directly to the vehicle, giving added strength whilst making installation considerabl...
GreenPeak rolls out GP570 chip for smart and low cost Zigbee RF4CE motion sense remote controls
GreenPeak Technologies today announced the launch of the new GP570 chip that will allow the development of low cost motion-enabled remote controls, addressing the growing demand for smarter and intuitive navigation of interactive entertainment services offered by operators.
Hamamatsu Photonics Driver Circuit for InGaAs Linear Image Sensors
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new C10820 InGaAs linear image sensor driver board. Designed to control the G9494 high speed image sensor series, the C10820 features simple operation through its CameraLink interface, and requires only digital inputs for the start and clock pulses. Additionally, just +5V and +15V supply voltages are needed for the pulse generator and power supply respectively.
High Speed InGaAs Linear Image Sensors and New Multichannel Detector Head from Hamamatsu
