Location-aware wireless sensors at embedded world 2019
Sensor and location data analytics products will be presented by Nanotron Technologies at the embedded world exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany from February 26th to 28th, 2019. Its new analytics products aim to fill the gap between raw sensor and location data and business applications by automatically extracting event information in real-time.
Family of code-free FOC sensorless BLDC fan drivers launched
Allegro MicroSystems Europe has announced the launch of the company’s QuietMotion family. This family consists of the first-to-market Field Oriented Control (FOC) brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor controllers that are customer code-free. The devices are designed to provide reliable and efficient low audible noise performance while reducing design cycle time.
Duo collaborate on vehicle network security for automotive OEMs
Arilou Information Security Technologies and and Green Hills Software have announced a cooperation, integrating Arilou’s Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) with the Green Hills INTEGRITY real time operating system (RTOS).
Radiation detector for fit and forget applications
From its research and production facility in Arizona, LASER COMPONENTS, supplies customers all over the world with these industrial grade thermal detectors. These detectors work on the principle that photons incident on the polycrystalline thin film promote electrons across the bandgap increasing the conductivity of the material in turn decreasing the resistance of the substance.
Mine safety collision avoidance solution
Wholly owned subsidiary of Sensera Limited, Nanotron Technologies, along with industrial safety solutions provider Selectronic, have announced their first joint product: the PDS2400 Collision Avoidance Solution (CAS) for open-pit mine safety.
Pyreos, Mouser agree global pact
Pyreos and Mouser Electronics have signed a global distribution partnership. The deal extends world-wide availability of the Pyreos advanced infrared sensor solutions for multiple applications, including gas and fire detection, medical, food safety, fuel and oil analysis.
Sensors enabling the next-generation of all-in-one VR platforms
A complete portfolio of VR sensors enabling a new class of highly accurate and affordable all-in-one VR solutions has been launched by TDK Corporation. The key platform components includes the InvenSense ICM-42688 six-axis motion sensor for HMDs, which provides the low noise figure and features high-resolution measurement mode.
Sensing designs to enrich how we live
During CES 2019, THK will presented its microcomputer for IoT and industrial applications: the ARGUS BOARD series. ARGUS BALANCE, a sensing chair detecting breathing and other body information; ATMOS II, a human shaped sensing object which detects the surrounding environment; and SENSING SCAPE STUDIO, which transforms environmental information into media art.
Automotive mmWave mid-range radar
