Automotive grade analogue output temperature sensor
The TMP23x-Q1 devices are a family of automotive grade precision CMOS integrated-circuit linear analog temperature sensors with an output voltage proportional to temperature, serving various automotive applications from powertrain to infotainment. These temperature sensors have a typical accuracy from zero to +70°C of ±0.5°C.
Digital monitoring system for getting the most out of tires
The vehicles we drive and work with are becoming increasingly digital – from fleet management and remote diagnostics to data driven logistics, autonomous vehicles, IoT and much more. But while the tires are a crucial factor in a safe, efficient and economical operation, they have been all but invisible in terms of gathering digital real-time data.
CMOS image sensors stay on stairway to record revenues
Despite an expected slowdown in growth this year and in 2020, the CMOS image sensor market is forecast to continue reaching record-high sales and unit volumes through 2023 with the spread of digital-imaging applications offsetting weakness in the global economy and the fallout from the US-China trade war.
Intelligent fall detection using TI mmWave sensors
In this video, Texas Instruments will be showing how TI's 60 gigahertz millimeter wave sensors provide sensing capabilities that allow in-home monitoring systems to detect potential falls.
Waterproof digital sensor measuring air and water pressure
Alps Alpine has introduced the HSPPAD143A Waterproof Digital Pressure Sensor for applications in wearable devices and IoT equipment. According to the latest data from the Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker released by IT research firm IDC Japan, the wearable devices market is expected to grow more than ten percent on average each year between 2019 and 2022.
Scientific advisory board to develop intelligent tire tread wear sensor
Tyrata has expanded its Scientific Advisory Board with two experts in complex data handling, machine learning and data analytics. The new board members, both Duke University professors, will focus on optimising data collection and analytics for the IntelliTread technology platform as Tyrata attempts to transform how the tire and transportation industries sense and use tread wear data.
Tech showcase finalists announced for MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit
SEMI Europe has announced finalists for the Technology Showcase for MEMS & Sensors and the Technology Showcase for Imaging Sensors at SEMI MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit. The finalists are innovators of MEMS and imaging sensors for applications spanning wireless sensor nodes in harsh environments, secure-by-design IoT devices, non-invasive wrist-worn blood glucose monitors, and 3D eye tracking that more naturally c...
Investment to increase road visibility and safety
Israeli startup TriEye, whose Short-Wave-Infra-Red (SWIR) sensing technology enables vision in adverse weather and night-time conditions, has expanded its Series A round to $19m with an investment from the German sports car manufacturer Porsche. The additional funding will be used for ongoing product development and operations, as well as team growth.
New terminal shape for a thinner detector switch design
Alps Alpine, a manufacturer of high-quality electronic products, has developed a SPVQ8 Series detector switch for use in detecting the opening and closing of side doors, hoods and other vehicle doors. Electrification of vehicles is progressing and cars are becoming lighter. The electronic components inside them therefore need to be smaller and lighter, too.
Small rotary encoders feature DRIVE-CLiQ interface
The range of small, absolute rotary encoders of 35mm diameter in HEIDENHAIN's 1000 and 1100 series has been expanded to include new versions with DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity. Marketed alongside existing HEIDENHAIN encoders of similar size that use the EnDat bi-directional and SSI serial interfaces, the DRIVE-CLiQ models have the same, compact mounting dimensions and can be used at temperatures up to 95°C.
