Selecting the right industrial joystick for your application
Costing aside, choosing the right industrial joystick when such requirement is called for can be a daunting task. [ + ]
Next-gen solar cells pass strict international tests
The experimental solar energy cells pass strict International Electrotechnical Commission testing standards for heat and humidity. [ + ]
How to save costs when making a custom enclosure
Here are some tips that can help minimise time/cost and maximise value in the process of making a custom enclosure. [ + ]
The component placement process: challenges and considerations 101
As components get smaller, there begins a constant battle to ensure they are mounted accurately. [ + ]
AI is only as smart as our influence
It is unfair to claim that AI or sensor tracking failed because it didn't meet our outcome, especially if we supplied the data and the parameters of success. [ + ]
World's fastest internet speed recorded, researchers claim
Australian researchers have successfully tested and recorded what is claimed to be the world's fastest internet data speed from a single optical chip. [ + ]
Colour-changing crystals could enable smarter sensors
The colour-changing, flexible photonic crystals could be used to develop sensors that warn when an earthquake might strike next. [ + ]
COM-HPC carrier board designs: preparation is half the battle
COM-HPC is the upcoming new standard for modular high-end edge servers. It provides significantly faster and almost twice as many interfaces as COM Express. [ + ]
Silicon chip 'fingerprint' for stronger hardware security
A new technique allows physically unclonable functions (PUFs) to produce secure, unique 'fingerprint' outputs at a very low cost, elevating hardware security. [ + ]
Light-emitting silicon paves the way for photonic chips
Emitting light from silicon has been the 'Holy Grail' of the microelectronics industry for decades, as it would enable chips to become faster than ever. [ + ]
Photoelectric sensors in practice — detecting and discriminating the direction of motion
There are two types of sensors most commonly used in industrial automation applications: photoelectric and inductive (proximity). [ + ]
Connectivity chipset or module for IoT systems: solving the dilemma
IoT is probably one of the biggest drivers for technology companies. Probably the most important feature of an IoT device is that it is connected. [ + ]
Two filters are better than one
More and more devices on the power grid must function smoothly without interfering with each other. EMC filters can help here. [ + ]
'Hot qubits' overcome quantum computing hurdle
A new proof of concept is said to promise warmer, cheaper and more robust quantum computing — manufactured using conventional silicon chip foundries. [ + ]
Medical equipment power supplies in times of emergency
When demand for the supply of modular power supplies for medical equipment is high, the necessary certifications should not be overlooked. [ + ]
